Larceny in No. 135 lands the Raiders a B, McNeil-Warren and all. The real work happened on the phones. The Raiders fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The Hunter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McNeil-Warren. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42
Rnd2
Arch Manning
A straight-up fair deal on Arch Manning at the 42nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A premium they did not need to pay, Zachariah Branch a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at slot 114 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Circle this one: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 135th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156
Rnd5
Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 16. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at No. 173 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
Value said wait; Lee Hunter in pick No. 182 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
