Skruger DRAFTING FOR THERaiders
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Raiders

FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Sanders: 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.
They banked enough surplus on Watts to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will need Burke to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In No. 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III slipping to Round 2, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick68
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Circle this one: Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They paid a round early for Denzel Burke in the 108th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
A tidy bit of business in slot 143, where Brashard Smith graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Briningstool in the 180th pick. The roster fit checks out.
