Overall B-

The phones sank the Raiders this weekend: B-.

The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Every board in the league had TeSlaa lower, and that gap is the story.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 24th pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They read the board right and Nick Emmanwori was the payoff at slot 37. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Alfred Collins in No. 68. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
The board had Devin Neal higher than pick 97, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in pick No. 143 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at the 213th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Isaac TeSlaa this early at the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the 222nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
