The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Hart: B.

The Raiders' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart. The Zinter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 13 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at pick No. 83, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matt Goncalves in No. 112. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ray Davis
A slide stopped in the 119th pick, with Ray Davis worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They robbed the room for Cam Hart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
