Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureC
The Raiders bet the future on Sanders. The board says B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Deontae Lawson slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at the 177th overall pick. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The White reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders in pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 34 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 65th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at slot 69 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Booker at pick No. 78 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick177 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick 177, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in the 216th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aydan White
They talked themselves into Aydan White at No. 219, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
