Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D, for the Raiders.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Raiders would have aced it. Amari Kight at pick 179 is 66 spots clear of where he belonged.

Taaffe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 3 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at No. 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 60th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They paid a round early for Denzel Burke in pick 67, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nic Scourton
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 7, where Nic Scourton graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 103rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 1, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick179 Rnd6 Amari Kight
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Amari Kight well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at the 212th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Steal is underselling it; Barion Brown at pick 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Circle this one: Lander Barton at slot 218 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
