FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Sanders. The board says D-. Some picks age like wine; DJ Campbell at pick No. 145 will need to, sitting 69 spots clear of his grade.
However the rest shakes out, Mondon Jr. at that price is a win they earned. Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
They took Shedeur Sanders at par in the 1st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A tidy little value on Kenneth Grant in pick 34, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at pick No. 65. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the 72nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 4, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at No. 138. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 145th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Value said wait; Ricky White III in pick No. 177 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick212
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 212 for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216
Rnd7
Miles Frazier
Good price on Miles Frazier in Round 7, Pick 2, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A wild overpay on Shilo Sanders in slot 217, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
