FutureD-
A passer of the future in Moore, and a F, for the Raiders. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
The whole projection now runs through Dante Moore; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If Abney II pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reese.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Dante Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Dante Moore at Round 1, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick5
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In No. 5 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 13th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In slot 28 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59
Rnd2
Keith Abney II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keith Abney II. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
They paid a round early for Eli Stowers in pick No. 64, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
The board had Malachi Fields higher than pick 99, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
A quiet steal in pick 113: Adon Shuler for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in the 131st overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at No. 136 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
