There is reaching, and then there is Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot. The Raiders jumped the board by 24 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Jacobs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In the 27th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 60
Malachi Corley in pick No. 52 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
A reach for Dominick Puni in No. 77; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 132
They jumped the gun on Mohamed Kamara, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 151
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 138th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
They paid a round early for Dwight McGlothern in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 173
A clean, defensible pick in the 179th pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Travis. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.33 · Pick 208 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs is a better player than No. 208 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 205
Ryan Flournoy at Round 6, Pick 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 232
Tylan Grable at pick No. 223 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
They reached a country mile for Kimani Vidal at pick 229, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.15 · Pick 235 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Owens this early at slot 235. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
