FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Sanders: B-. Start where it matters. The Raiders took Shedeur Sanders to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shedeur Sanders. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Nice patience on Kenneth Grant, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 5. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68
Rnd3
Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at pick No. 68. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 108 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
No drama and no debate, Quincy Riley went about where he belonged in slot 143. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180
Rnd6
Jalen Rivers
Jalen Rivers at the 180th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at the 213th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in pick 215 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
Kain Medrano at pick No. 222 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
