Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB
The Raiders bet the future on Sanders. The board says B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent the Round 6 slot on Trey Wedig, a name the board had a full 98 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The Hampton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They let Omarion Hampton come to them and pounced at No. 34. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A real head-scratcher, Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 65 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 97th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Gray well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas in Round 5, Pick 1 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 178 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Wedig in pick 212, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached a country mile for Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 2, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Value said wait; Julian Fleming in slot 217 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
