Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D weekend for the Raiders.

The Raiders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nicholas Singleton fell into slot 212. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Morrison has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 34th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Nice patience on Tyler Booker, who had no business lasting to pick 65. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick69 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 104 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick140 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the 140th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They paid sticker price for Ricky White III in Round 6, Pick 2, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in No. 212, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
