The Raiders ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Raiders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
Dillon Thieneman at the 36th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Malik Muhammad at No. 102 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
