Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Moore is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Dante Moore is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop.

The Rodriguez reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Spending an early pick on linebacker with wide receiver and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in slot 49, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in the 66th overall pick, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Taurean York
Value with a capital V on Taurean York in No. 68, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick104 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Julian Neal in the 104th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jacob Rodriguez at linebacker with wide receiver and tight end open.
Pick173 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They paid sticker price for Aaron Graves in pick 173, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in pick 181; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They jumped the gun on Le'Veon Moss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 James Smith
They reached into another round for James Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
