Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Shedeur Sanders, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The King steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shedeur Sanders at Round 1, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in No. 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas slipping to pick No. 68 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at the 108th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kobe King
The board had Kobe King higher than slot 143, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Giddens in the 180th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick213 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at pick 213 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick215 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kobe Hudson at pick No. 222 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
