Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Moore: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Dante Moore, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They will need Leigh to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Anderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
Dante Moore at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
They went early on Jaeden Roberts in pick 66, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in the 104th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in Round 4, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Miller
By-the-book stuff, Blake Miller at the 134th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 173; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick181 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in slot 181 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Value with a capital V on Aaron Anderson in pick No. 185, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A wild overpay on Tristan Leigh in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
