Sanders is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B. Call it larceny. Brashard Smith sat on the board until pick No. 222, and the Raiders did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 6th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in pick No. 37: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They jumped the gun on Charles Grant, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick142
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at Round 5, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at pick No. 179 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212
Rnd6
Addison West
Addison West at the 212th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
DJ Uiagalelei
They reached a country mile for DJ Uiagalelei at No. 216, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick 222 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
