Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Moore is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: A-.

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. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

They will need Campbell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In the end it comes back to Dante Moore, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at the 65th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at pick 101 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They let D'Angelo Ponds come to them and pounced at the 118th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A big swing on DJ Campbell at pick No. 136, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
