Jenkins DRAFTING FOR THERaiders
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

ValueB+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a B, for the Raiders. Thirty-one other rooms let Chris Paul Jr. slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the 212th overall pick. Highway robbery.
Every board in the league had Sheppard lower, and that gap is the story. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The Campbell pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still on the board.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalon Walker at the 37th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick68
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at slot 68 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They robbed the room for Xavier Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jihaad Campbell
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jihaad Campbell while clear needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick139
Rnd5
Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
The board fumbled Tahj Brooks all the way to the 181st overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at Round 6, Pick 37. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
Value said wait; Will Sheppard in pick 216 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A conviction pick on Shilo Sanders at No. 221 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
