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

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.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Bryant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Landing Fannin Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in No. 37: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board had Harold Fannin Jr. higher than the 68th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They went early on Cobee Bryant in Round 4, Pick 6, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
They let Riley Leonard come to them and pounced at pick No. 143. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Nothing to complain about; Ollie Gordon II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson slipping to the 213th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at pick 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick222 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in slot 222 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
