Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Sanders: B-.

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.

The McCord value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 6 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 37 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jack Bech. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 6: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and RJ Harvey at the 180th pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Value with a capital V on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 213, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
They paid sticker price for Luke Elzinga in the 215th overall pick, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shemar James
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shemar James in No. 222, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
