Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Raiders for Moore: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Dante Moore slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the Round 3 slot. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 8 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at pick 40 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dante Moore
You do not let a quarterback like Dante Moore reach pick No. 72 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Arvell Reese
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 6: Arvell Reese for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A tidy bit of business in the 135th overall pick, where Tacario Davis graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Quintrevion Wisner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
By-the-book stuff, Pat Coogan at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
