Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Shedeur Sanders, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Sauls has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Sauls pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at pick No. 37. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in the 68th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ben Sauls
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Ben Sauls adds a specialist while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick143 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 5, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in the 180th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
The board fumbled DJ Giddens all the way to pick 213, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick222 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Jackson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
