Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a B-, for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Shedeur Sanders to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Marshall Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will need McLaughlin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 6 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They jumped the gun on Tre Harris, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 73rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jay Higgins in slot 144. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at Round 6, Pick 4 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Fair-plus on Ricky White III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Seth McLaughlin in slot 218, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
