FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a B+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Keyon Ware-Hudson in pick 237.
The Allar pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. With running back and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In pick 18 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
The board had cheaper options than Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 1, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 34 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52
Rnd2
Iapani Laloulu
They reached a country mile for Iapani Laloulu at No. 52, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65
Rnd3
CJ Allen
Somehow CJ Allen was still sitting there in the 65th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in slot 101 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in Round 4, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Jacob Rodriguez in the 136th pick leaves running back and tight end for later.
Pick175
Rnd5
Brandon Inniss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Inniss well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd5
London Humphreys
Value said wait; London Humphreys in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Drew Allar
You do not let a quarterback like Drew Allar reach pick 182 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183
Rnd6
Princewill Umanmielen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Princewill Umanmielen in No. 183, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Nwokobia at pick No. 202 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick217
Rnd7
Solomon Tuliaupupu
They talked themselves into Solomon Tuliaupupu at slot 217, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Noah Fifita
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Noah Fifita at the 224th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Keyon Ware-Hudson
Keyon Ware-Hudson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
