The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Jer'Zhan Newton slide 99 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
