Draft Grade — Raiders

Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Raiders.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tyler Shough, the No. 153 name on the board, stolen at the 218th overall pick.

They have staked the next five years on Shedeur Sanders, which is the only story that really matters here. They are betting Sanders proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shedeur Sanders. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick37 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in pick No. 68, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No edge and no loss on Darien Porter in the 73rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
The board fumbled Donovan Jackson all the way to Round 4, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick144 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in pick 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at No. 214. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at the 224th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
