Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Shedeur Sanders, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Dike falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Circle this one: Tetairoa McMillan at the 37th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 68 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
They read the board right and Zy Alexander was the payoff at the 108th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
The board fumbled Chimere Dike all the way to No. 143, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Fair-plus on Caleb Ransaw, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick215 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They did well to land Karene Reid in Round 6, Pick 39, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They paid sticker price for Desmond Watson in pick 222, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
