Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Sanders: B-.

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Malcolm Greene a full 146 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Fannin Jr.. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shedeur Sanders at slot 1, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at pick 68 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 73rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at No. 142 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marcus Dumervil
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marcus Dumervil in pick No. 178, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at pick No. 212 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
A big swing on Bryson Nesbit at the 216th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222 Rnd7 Malcolm Greene
They reached into another round for Malcolm Greene, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
