The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 98 name on the board, in pick No. 179.

Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.3 · Pick 3 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 3
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · DJ Campbell · OG · rank 44
DJ Campbell at pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Dylan Sampson · RB · rank 52
Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 75
Jalen Royals at pick 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.4 · Pick 142 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 168
Donovan Jackson in the 142nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.12 · Pick 150 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 89
Taking Deontae Lawson in pick No. 150 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 98
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Singleton at Round 6, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Barrett Carter · LB · rank 165
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in No. 183, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.1 · Pick 215 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 236
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at the 215th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.6 · Pick 220 · Jeffrey Bassa · LB · rank 229
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 220 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
