Las Vegas Raiders

Hadden should have been long gone. The Raiders pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Kamal Hadden slides to the 205th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Pratt proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 29
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in No. 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
A slide stopped in pick 63, with Xavier Worthy worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa slipping to slot 67 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
A reach for Dominick Puni in the 73rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 15. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 140
They reached into another round for Michael Pratt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
Isaac Guerendo at the 143rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 148
Luke McCaffrey at No. 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at the 152nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
Somehow Kamal Hadden was still sitting there in slot 205, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
They let Curtis Jacobs come to them and pounced at the 208th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
Julian Pearl in pick No. 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in pick 229, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
