The Raiders bet the future on Nussmeier. The board says A-. The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Garrett Nussmeier, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
If Nussmeier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
That Weigman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, with Garrett Nussmeier leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Garrett Nussmeier
In the 12th pick they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick16
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 20 they get a green-dot type in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenyon Sadiq in slot 36. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Austin Barber
A conviction pick on Austin Barber at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102
Rnd4
Trinidad Chambliss
They went early on Trinidad Chambliss in No. 102, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at pick No. 117. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
A slide stopped in the 134th overall pick, with Keylan Rutledge worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jermaine Mathews Jr. at pick No. 174. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
A tidy bit of business in No. 180, where Jaydn Ott graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183
Rnd6
Bud Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bud Clark in pick 183. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219
Rnd7
Conner Weigman
Taking Conner Weigman in slot 219 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
