Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sanders is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Shedeur Sanders is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Evans at that price is a win they earned. The cost of the Dotson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to Round 2, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 68 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mello Dotson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mitchell Evans in the 180th overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Corey Kiner
Taking Corey Kiner in No. 213 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They will replay Karene Reid at slot 215 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Hancock in pick 222. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
