Grand theft in slot 112: the Raiders steal Ramsey and grade out a B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamari Ramsey, pick 112, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
They will need Pavia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Hill Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 12th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick20
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Colton Hood
In the 31st pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
By-the-book stuff, Dillon Thieneman at slot 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick47
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Anthony Hill Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
LT Overton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and LT Overton at Round 3, Pick 14 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in No. 92 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Domonique Orange
The board fumbled Domonique Orange all the way to No. 102, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kamari Ramsey
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kamari Ramsey while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick113
Rnd4
Emmett Johnson
Nice patience on Emmett Johnson, who had no business lasting to the 113th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 117th pick, where Tacario Davis graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
A tidy little value on Parker Brailsford in Round 4, Pick 34, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A reach on Taylen Green in slot 175; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
Fair-plus on Keagen Trost, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Diego Pavia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Diego Pavia in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eli Heidenreich well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
