The Raiders cashed the board's mistake on Walker: D. The Raiders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Bassa pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and tight end.
They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Getting Walker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick56
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 56th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins is a better player than the 62nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68
Rnd3
Darien Porter
The board had cheaper options than Darien Porter at No. 68, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Barrett Carter in pick 109. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
A want over a need in No. 132: Jeffrey Bassa adds a linebacker while edge rusher and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
No edge and no loss on Tyler Shough in the 144th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 169th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
They paid sticker price for Seth McLaughlin in slot 170, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
They took Chase Lundt at par in Round 5, Pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
