OT: Raiders news, notes
- Thread starter LadyStanley
- Start date
NFL Draft 2025 picks, grades for Rounds 2 and 3: Jalen Milroe was a nice gamble for Seahawks. Dillon Gabriel and the Browns, not so much
Charles McDonald breaks down every pick from Day 2 of the NFL Draft.
Grading day 2 picks. Raiders graded B+ to A
LV added another WR from TEN in Rd 4. Thornton Jr.
6'5 205 who ran a 4.3 at the combine. Looks like he needs to add some weight/bulk. Probably should be playing at 215 lbs or something in that range.
But, LV needed more WR help.
Trading down from 37 to 58 added a pair of 3rds which they took on the OL.
RB, WR, CB, OL, OL, WR so far through 4 rounds. Probably need to add on D for the rest of the picks.
Don't love the value at 6 for a RB, but honestly, can't say anyone blew me away at that point.
Added 2 WR to Tucker and Myers (who has 1 year left on his contract).
Added 2 OL. With Miller in a contract situation, with 1 year non guaranteed left at like $16 mill, they got some insurance in the event he tries to hold out. Plus, Parham is going into his final year. Not sure if LV will extend him.
Needed a CB with Hobbs and Jones gone. Prototype at 6'3 of the Carroll LOB defence.

2025 NFL Draft grades for all 32 teams
Well, that was a wild NFL Draft. To assess the big swings and misses from the 32 NFL teams, our draft experts handed out early team-by-team grades.
don't know much about the individual players.
Based on position and need:
1 - RB - need, so hope he's as good as advertised
2 - WR - traded down twice. Seems like he was productive in college. TCU WR don't have the best rep with Reagor and Q. Johnston in recent years.
3 - CB - has tools. See if he figures out how to use them. Prototype of what Pete likes his CBs to be
3 - OG - Added depth (again not sure if Parham is here long term)
3 - OT - depth behind Miller in case there is a contract issue
4 - WR - has speed. Looks a bit thin, so needs to add bulk
4 - DT - depth behind Wilkins
6 - DT - more DL depth
6 - QB - converting a running QB who had 3,500 yards rushing in college to a slot WR. 6'0 200 lbs. See how he learns the position
6 - QB - not sure he makes the 53 man roster. More likely a PS guy
7 - LB - depth guy.
Addressed some needs. See how they develop.

With Sanders, does anyone regret not taking him over Hemmingway at the end of the 4th?
Or could they have tried to come up from the Pegues pick at 180 by giving up at least 1i f not 2 of the final 3 picks?
