Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Sanders: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Shedeur Sanders is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones Jr.. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 12 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III is a better player than the 37th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Value with a capital V on Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 44, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Alfred Collins worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
You do not let a cornerback like Azareye'h Thomas reach Round 3, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Charles Grant in pick 108, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 143rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
They barely believed it either: Tommi Hill still on the board at slot 180. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Steal is underselling it; Raheim Sanders at pick 204 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They let Luke Lachey come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at No. 215 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 222nd pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
