You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Styles. Reaching for Sanders left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
