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.
