Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Tyrone Tracy Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 48
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 53
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 69
Cooper Beebe at No. 77 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 108
A premium they did not need to pay, Braelon Allen a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 119
Spencer Rattler in Round 4, Pick 12 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 124
The board had cheaper options than Theo Johnson at slot 114, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 153
Value said wait; Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the 117th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Logan Lee · DL · rank 211
They paid sticker price for Logan Lee in pick 208, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
