Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Moore is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Dante Moore to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Every board in the league had Mesidor lower, and that gap is the story. Orange at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dante Moore. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick35 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to slot 66 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
A quiet steal in pick No. 104: Domonique Orange for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Akheem Mesidor
A big swing on Akheem Mesidor at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Miller at the 134th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 173rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick181 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in pick 181 with a little surplus value in Duce Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 185 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
No edge and no loss on DJ Harvey in the 219th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
