Mason Graham or Jeanty for me at 6. (IF they are both available)
I know some people are saying: "we should consider trading back with the Saints at 9". So they could draft Sanders at 6, but Shedeur has to get passed the Titans, Browns, & Giants first.
& if he doesn't get taken within the first 3 picks, then Sanders probably falls to New Orleans at 9 anyways. So I am not to sure the Saints will be eager to trade up, when they could just stay pat.
If we have the option to get a day 1 contributor like Graham or Jeanty at 6, I don't think we risk trading back & missing out on either of them. if Graham's there at 6, then we can just target a RB later in a loaded RB draft class. A strong pass rush always makes defensive back's lives easier
Graham posted pass-rush and run defense grades of 81.1 and 92.6, respectively, in 2024, showing he can make a huge impact in both areas. If Graham becomes the player many think he can be, the Raiders would have a nightmare duo up the middle, and impressive depth with Butler rotating in.
Adding Graham to a defensive line that contains Maxx Crosby, Christian Wilkins and Malcolm Koonce could be a quality move by the Raiders front office.

& I know some people will be happy with either Will Campell or Armand Membou. But i just don’t see the Patriots passing on a Left tackle, if the first three picks are Ward, Carter, & Hunter.

I’m trading down, if possible, unless Hunter or Carter somehow fall to 6. The Raiders need more draft capital to build this roster.
And Jeanty posted 94.9, grades don’t make the argument you think it does
Yeah, adding a projected top 5 player will add talent to any team. Not exactly rocket science
