FutureF
The Raiders found their guy under center in Moore: F. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A F, plain and simple.
Dante Moore gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
The cost of the Stewart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Raiders indulged a want in Sabb while a need in edge rusher stayed open.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harris. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In No. 2 they get a building block for the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick7
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In the 7th pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Round 1, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick23
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In pick 23 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 33rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick38
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in slot 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They read the board right and Jake Slaughter was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
Nice patience on Elijah Sarratt, who had no business lasting to pick No. 67. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd4
A.J. Harris
Somehow A.J. Harris was still sitting there in the 102nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at No. 104 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 11. Edge rusher needed the pick; a safety in Keon Sabb did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Zachariah Branch for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaden Greathouse at pick 173 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd5
Duce Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Duce Robinson at pick No. 177, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Stewart in the 183rd pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Lander Barton
They took Lander Barton at par in slot 187, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194
Rnd6
Gunner Stockton
You do not let a quarterback like Gunner Stockton reach the 194th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
They paid sticker price for Lee Hunter in No. 203, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Mark Fletcher Jr.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mark Fletcher Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd7
Isaiah Nwokobia
Good price on Isaiah Nwokobia in Round 7, Pick 2, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218
Rnd7
Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in the 218th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jordan Castell
They did well to land Jordan Castell in pick 239, just ahead of his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick254
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in slot 256 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
