The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Peny Boone, 336 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. It is not that Sauls is a bad player; it is that the Raiders had louder needs to answer first. King at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
