Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Moore. Grade: D-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Keon Wylie in Round 4, Pick 2. Put together, it is a D-.

Mateer falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They have staked the next five years on Dante Moore, which is the only story that really matters here. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the 16th pick they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ethan Onianwa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ethan Onianwa in No. 36, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Keon Wylie
Keon Wylie at slot 102 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 117th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Roydell Williams
They reached a country mile for Roydell Williams at Round 4, Pick 27, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 4, Pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jared Brown
Jared Brown in No. 174 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 John Mateer
They will replay John Mateer at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 David Oke
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, David Oke in the 185th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 219 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
