You build a draft on nights like this. Kamari Lassiter had no business being available in No. 77, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They barely believed it either: Kamari Lassiter still on the board at pick 77. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Circle this one: Dominick Puni at the 113th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They liked Jordan Travis enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 147. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
