Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a B weekend for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Shedeur Sanders to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Sanders reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 12 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 5 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 44th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A clean, defensible pick in No. 76 with a little surplus value in Omarr Norman-Lott. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They went early on Denzel Burke in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in pick No. 143. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 180th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky White III at pick No. 213, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A reach for Carson Vinson in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick222 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
