Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Raiders.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Shedeur Sanders, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Getting Thomas where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders in pick No. 6 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 37th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at No. 68. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in Round 3, Pick 9 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Azareye'h Thomas
The board fumbled Azareye'h Thomas all the way to slot 107, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
