Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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 edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Walker to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shedeur Sanders at the 6th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in slot 68 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 108 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 143, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius slid further than he should have, and the 180th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 213: Jason Marshall Jr. for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Value with a capital V on Donovan Edwards in Round 6, Pick 39, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 222 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
