Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Sanders is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Andrew Armstrong went at Round 4, Pick 6, a good 187 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Ersery pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 37 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 4 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Andrew Armstrong
This one needs a full-page explanation: Andrew Armstrong in No. 108, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Steal is underselling it; Aireontae Ersery at the 180th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in Round 6, Pick 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 215 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
