Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF 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.
