Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Raiders.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Smael Mondon Jr. tumbling to the Raiders in pick No. 216 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 6 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than Round 2, Pick 12 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
You do not let a wide receiver like Matthew Golden reach the 68th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in the 73rd pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick106 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 142 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at No. 178 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Steal is underselling it; Vernon Broughton at Round 6, Pick 37 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 216 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick222 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at pick 222 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 227th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
