Day 2 Draft Grades for the Las Vegas Raiders

After a successful day two Raiders Wire gives draft grades to all three picks from the Raiders third round.

Pick No. 100 – Tanner Muse S/LB, Clemson

Grade: C+

When you start drafting after pick 100, it’s when you want to take bets on raw players with high athletic upside. Enter Tanner Muse, who played safety at Clemson but projects to a linebacker at the NFL level.

The Muse pick was a little rich, but we all know Mayock was dying to take a Clemson player. Muse athletic profile is off the charts, and he was able to produce displaying good instincts and always being around the football.

Muse diagnosis plays well, which led to him grabbing two interceptions with 5 passes defended on the season. However, there were better players on the board when they made this pick and its why they get a lower grade.

Muse has incredible upside as a linebacker if he can put on weight while he waits behind players like Cory Littleton. He can help right away with special teams being a gunner during punt coverage as well. Muse provides depth at the linebacker position, which is needed with how may injuries the Raiders have been facing the past two seasons.
