They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Stout at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
