Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureD-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Raiders did exactly that with Dayon Hayes in pick No. 214. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gabriel.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shedeur Sanders at slot 8, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
You do not let an offensive lineman like Josh Simmons reach pick 33 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at pick No. 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 68th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at slot 107 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at pick 144 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They liked Raheim Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 145. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 182nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at the 214th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dorian Strong in No. 218, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in Round 7, Pick 6 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
