Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Raiders bet the future on Moore. The board says 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. There is no dressing it up: a F.

Dante Moore gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Greathouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In No. 4 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick7 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 13th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in pick No. 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 76th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Nothing to complain about; Eli Stowers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 104 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick107 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Fair-plus on Adon Shuler, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at pick 139 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
