The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Isaac Guerendo, 35 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive. The veteran additions, David Bakhtiari chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 27
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 48
T.J. Tampa at the 41st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 53
A reach for Braden Fiske in pick 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
Taking Payton Wilson in No. 73 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 89
Trey Benson at pick No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 119
They talked themselves into Spencer Rattler at pick No. 93, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
Isaac Guerendo at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
They did well to land Dominick Puni in the 95th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A wild overpay on Mohamed Kamara in the 112th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 124
They paid sticker price for Theo Johnson in pick 124, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 131
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at slot 133, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
