Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Sanders: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Nicholas Singleton had no business being available in the 212th overall pick, and the Raiders did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If West pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
The board had Dylan Fairchild higher than slot 68, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to pick No. 73, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Nothing to complain about; Maxwell Hairston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at Round 5, Pick 1. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick152 Rnd5 Addison West
Addison West at slot 152 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at pick 181 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 212th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Circle this one: Tahj Brooks at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 221st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
