Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Raiders a B+.

The Raiders went off the board in a big way for Shilo Sanders, 69 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Marks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 6 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
They let Azareye'h Thomas come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 4. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe slipping to slot 108 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in the 143rd pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 180th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Addison West
No edge and no loss on Addison West in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 222nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
