FutureA-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and Green: D. The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
Reaching for Young left real value on the table behind him. They will answer for taking linebacker early while running back and tight end went begging. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Landing Green that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In slot 17 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In No. 25 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A tidy little value on Kayden McDonald in Round 2, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Zion Young
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Young in the 67th overall pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79
Rnd3
Sam Leavitt
A straight-up fair deal on Sam Leavitt at pick 79, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
A.J. Harris
You do not let a cornerback like A.J. Harris reach No. 93 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 5: Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker while running back and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick110
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 110th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at slot 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones at pick No. 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A tidy bit of business in the 173rd pick, where Drew Allar graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
They did well to land Duce Robinson in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in pick 185, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A reach on Trey Zuhn III in slot 220; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
