If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Raiders, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Reaching for Rattler left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Flournoy.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
Graham Barton in the 35th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 48
They liked T.J. Tampa enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 4. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
By-the-book stuff, Payton Wilson at the 51st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 62
Christian Haynes at No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
A clean, defensible pick in slot 77 with a little surplus value in Jaylen Wright. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 119
Spencer Rattler at pick 90 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 124
Theo Johnson at pick No. 112 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Luke McCaffrey at pick 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.15 · Pick 151 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Taking Christian Jones in the 151st overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Logan Lee · DL · rank 211
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
A reach for Trevin Wallace in No. 223; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
Ryan Flournoy in the 226th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 239
Andrew Raym in slot 229 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
