The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Mustapha value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 10 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the 44th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Corley. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Max Melton at the 112th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
The board had Malik Mustapha higher than No. 150, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Nice patience on Ethan Driskell, who had no business lasting to pick 190. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
