The Raiders answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: D-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Raiders spent the 105th pick on Benjamin Morrison, a name most had 37 spots down the list. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Klubnik. Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Shedeur Sanders · QB · rank 3
In pick 4 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 24
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 98
A wild overpay on Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 69, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Ajani Cornelius · OT · rank 101
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.4 · Pick 105 · Benjamin Morrison · CB · rank 142
Benjamin Morrison in Round 4, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.3 · Pick 141 · Ricky White III · WR · rank 172
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ricky White III well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Cade Klubnik · QB · rank 119
They will replay Cade Klubnik at the 185th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 212
Jaydn Ott in the 212th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 222
They jumped the gun on Shilo Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.10 · Pick 224 · Quinn Carroll · OT · rank 213
Quinn Carroll is a better player than pick 224 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
