Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a A-.

When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to slot 222, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

Dante Moore is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

The Trent McDuffie deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
They barely believed it either: Spencer Fano still on the board at the 38th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jordyn Tyson in pick No. 71, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
A cornerback of that caliber at the 106th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 David Bailey
Somehow David Bailey was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick173 Rnd5 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at the 173rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Fernando Mendoza
You do not let a quarterback like Fernando Mendoza reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
