They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.
Bond has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 5 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Isaiah Bond at No. 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Denzel Burke at pick 68 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
