Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a D- for the Raiders.

The rest of the league had time to spare on DJ Campbell; the Raiders did not wait, grabbing him 68 spots ahead at Round 5, Pick 7. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The Singleton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at pick No. 34 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slipping to the 65th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in the 72nd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A tidy bit of business in slot 138, where Daylen Everette graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 212th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd7 Lander Barton
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick217 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in slot 217, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
