The Raiders won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Raiders should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. Reaching for Kone left real value on the table behind him.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 20 they get a true top target, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omarion Hampton in the 33rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick51
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at the 51st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Nice patience on Jayden Higgins, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They read the board right and Demetrius Knight Jr. was the payoff at No. 68. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson is a better player than slot 80 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
A reach on Jalen Milroe in Round 3, Pick 17; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 30 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They jumped the gun on Jacob Parrish, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
They went early on Bhayshul Tuten in slot 143, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in the 180th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 193 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Caleb Rogers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Rogers at the Round 6 slot is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Bilhal Kone
A big swing on Bilhal Kone at pick No. 213, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
They paid a round early for Isaac TeSlaa in the 215th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
They let Caleb Ransaw come to them and pounced at pick 222. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
