Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Sanders. The board says D. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Raheim Sanders got past him. The Raiders do not have to explain a thing at pick 212. The math is unkind, and the D follows.
Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
The Sanders pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In No. 3 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
The board fumbled Omarion Hampton all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tate Ratledge reach pick 65 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick69
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in the 69th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick104
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the 140th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III in slot 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 212 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gentry Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shilo Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
