Nix is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B. Start where it matters. The Raiders took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In No. 31 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 59th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at slot 66, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in pick 71, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick77
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 13 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
No edge and no loss on Caelen Carson in the 89th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
They paid up for Cole Bishop at pick No. 90 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
