The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Leavitt: D. The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
Every board in the league had Freeling lower, and that gap is the story. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Good price on Kayden McDonald in pick No. 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick37
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 37th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66
Rnd3
LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in slot 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Anthony Lucas
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Lucas in the 75th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
This one needs a full-page explanation: Monroe Freeling in the 93rd pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
Value said wait; Charles Jagusah in the 104th overall pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A straight-up fair deal on Zachariah Branch at Round 4, Pick 13, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Logan Jones
The board had cheaper options than Logan Jones at pick 134, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They reached into another round for DJ Campbell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 173 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick219
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford in slot 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
They liked Peyton Bowen enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 233. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
