Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The Raiders clearly saw something nobody else did in Drew Allar, taking him 62 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Perkins Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back still on the board. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The McAlister value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
In slot 31 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Dani Dennis-Sutton · DE-EDGE · rank 83
A real head-scratcher, Dani Dennis-Sutton in the 36th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 70
Chase Bisontis at Round 2, Pick 30 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 60
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 67 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 133
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Harold Perkins Jr. in the 92nd overall pick leaves running back for later.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
Drew Allar at No. 95 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 102
They took Darrell Jackson Jr. at par in pick No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Parker Brailsford · C · rank 130
A wild overpay on Parker Brailsford in slot 112, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 125
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 117. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 179
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in the 134th overall pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 132
The board had Oscar Delp higher than No. 149, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in the 175th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 190
Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Toriano Pride Jr. · CB · rank 210
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Toriano Pride Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Eric McAlister · WR · rank 197
Eric McAlister in No. 219 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
