Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Sanders. The board says 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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That Evans pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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 the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 5 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 68th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A quiet steal in pick No. 73: Deone Walker for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 107th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick182 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach pick 182 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
