The Raiders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Hopper lower, and that gap is the story.
Justin Fields gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 11 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A reach for Quinyon Mitchell in Round 2, Pick 11; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No edge and no loss on Howard Cross III in pick No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty'Ron Hopper. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Jo'Quavious Marks in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryce Foster in No. 232. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
