Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Moore: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jonah Coleman had no business being available in slot 255, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Everything downstream of Dante Moore depends on Dante Moore, and the building knows it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey in No. 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordyn Tyson
Somehow Jordyn Tyson was still sitting there in the 112th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in pick 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 134th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Taking Jermod McCoy in pick No. 173 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Fernando Mendoza
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Fernando Mendoza in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at Round 6, Pick 5 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at slot 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jonah Coleman
You do not let a running back like Jonah Coleman reach the 255th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
