FutureB+
Larceny in slot 166 lands the Raiders a B+, Mukuba and all. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Raiders watched Andrew Mukuba slide 80 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The Cook pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
With edge rusher and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick 27 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 58 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 27 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in No. 68; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in the 81st pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Bond in the 91st overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Barrett Carter while clear needs at edge rusher and tight end sat open.
Pick143
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slipping to slot 143 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166
Rnd5
Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to Round 5, Pick 28, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 180th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick213
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215
Rnd6
Brady Cook
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brady Cook. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222
Rnd7
Howard Cross III
A tidy little value on Howard Cross III in pick No. 222, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
