Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Moore, and a B-, for the Raiders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Dante Moore, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Kearney proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Reese steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In slot 2 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in pick No. 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
They paid a round early for Xavier Chaplin in the 67th overall pick, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Julian Neal
A quiet steal in pick 102: Julian Neal for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia slipping to Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in the 136th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Duce Robinson at No. 173 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
They paid sticker price for Jaydn Ott in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at Round 6, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217 Rnd7 Roderick Kearney
They talked themselves into Roderick Kearney at the 217th pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
