Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureD
Sanders is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: C.

When a board-topper like Earnest Greene III slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. A mixed bag that lands at C.

Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 6th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in No. 37. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery is a better player than Round 2, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 68 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick 73 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in the 107th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at slot 144 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Earnest Greene III in the 214th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 6, Pick 40 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
