Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Sanders: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Riley left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to Round 2, Pick 5 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jack Bech
No edge and no loss on Jack Bech in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
They jumped the gun on Nohl Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A premium they did not need to pay, Bhayshul Tuten a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A big swing on Quincy Riley at pick No. 160, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in No. 213 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick222 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Desmond Watson. The roster fit checks out.
