Grand theft in pick 180: the Raiders steal Allen and grade out a B-. Somebody in No. 180 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Raiders sat still while LeQuint Allen, the No. 133 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
Every board in the league had McWilliams lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Mykel Williams
In the 6th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in pick 37. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick68
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
A slide stopped in the 68th pick, with Elic Ayomanor worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at Round 4, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard in pick No. 143 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180
Rnd6
LeQuint Allen
They robbed the room for LeQuint Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213
Rnd6
Karene Reid
Karene Reid in No. 213 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215
Rnd6
Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at slot 215 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Nothing to complain about; Craig Woodson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
