FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Raiders: B. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent the 109th overall pick on Drew Allar, a name most had 48 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Styles pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, running back and other spots still on the board.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
Value with a capital V on Arvell Reese in the 25th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick39
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick57
Rnd2
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick105
Rnd4
Carson Beck
Carson Beck in Round 4, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in No. 109 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 15 on Jaishawn Barham, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick134
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A premium they did not need to pay, Ar'maj Reed-Adams a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 173 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 183 with a little surplus value in Duce Robinson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 185th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick197
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Evan Stewart. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Jatta went about where he belonged in No. 198. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Pat Coogan this early at pick 220. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
