FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a A-. It is the swing that defines the weekend: George Gumbs Jr. in pick 206, a good 66 spots before the room expected him. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
The Montgomery value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick25
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
They took Dillon Thieneman at par in No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at the 49th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in slot 67 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick92
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Domonique Orange in pick No. 92. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
Value with a capital V on Ja'Kobi Lane in pick 102, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Treydan Stukes at pick No. 107 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Good price on Jack Endries in the 117th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Isaiah World
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah World. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 146th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
No edge and no loss on Jaydn Ott in slot 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208
Rnd6
Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at No. 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in the 219th pick. The roster fit checks out.
