FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Raiders and McCord: B+. Thirty-one other rooms let Kyle McCord slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at pick No. 159. Highway robbery.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Christian Watson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In slot 23 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Nice patience on Walter Nolen, who had no business lasting to pick No. 37. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 3, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Nothing to complain about; Carson Schwesinger went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at No. 108 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 124 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Anthony Belton in the 143rd pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A clean, defensible pick in the 180th pick with a little surplus value in Ollie Gordon II. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had Jason Marshall Jr. higher than the 213th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
They let Joshua Gray come to them and pounced at No. 222. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
