Draft Grade — Raiders

Sanders is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 6th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They did well to land Omarion Hampton in the 37th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
They read the board right and Azareye'h Thomas was the payoff at pick 68. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180
Rnd6
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams slid further than he should have, and No. 180 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Nice patience on Jay Higgins, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 37. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick215
Rnd6
Woody Marks
You do not let a running back like Woody Marks reach pick No. 215 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jason Marshall Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 222 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
