Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Moore. Grade: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Princewill Umanmielen a full 83 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Dante Moore gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The McNeil-Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the 4th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kayden McDonald in slot 35. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at Round 3, Pick 2 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 104th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 111, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in No. 134, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in slot 173, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at the 181st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They reached a country mile for Princewill Umanmielen at No. 185, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Quinten Joyner in pick No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
