FutureD
The Raiders robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Brashard Smith slide 49 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 6 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in slot 37, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
By-the-book stuff, Jaxson Dart at No. 56 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to the 68th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in pick 73, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 94th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 107th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in slot 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 182nd overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Hancock at Round 6, Pick 36 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick218
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 218 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
