Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Raiders were there to profit. Kayden McDonald, the No. 31 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 220. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Dante Moore is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the 10th pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Circle this one: Spencer Fano at slot 36 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jermod McCoy
Somehow Jermod McCoy was still sitting there in slot 67, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in the 79th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 David Bailey
You do not let an edge rusher like David Bailey reach pick No. 105 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to Round 4, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at pick 173 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at No. 183. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in the 185th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Kayden McDonald
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kayden McDonald in Round 7, Pick 5, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
