Grand theft in slot 216: the Raiders steal Skattebo and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Cam Skattebo slide 107 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They paid sticker price for Mason Graham in the 6th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at pick 68 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 73rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick106 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 5: Maxwell Hairston for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 142 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in slot 178, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They robbed the room for Ollie Gordon II here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 216th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick222 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
