Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

Nobody else had Noah Thomas anywhere near pick No. 212. The Raiders did, by 123 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Higgins. So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 1st pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A clean, defensible pick in No. 34 with a little surplus value in Tate Ratledge. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
The board fumbled Tyler Booker all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 72 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jordan James
You do not let a running back like Jordan James reach the 138th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in the 212th pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 7, Pick 2 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 217th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
