Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Boettcher pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They paid a round early for Fernando Mendoza in the 7th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at pick 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A premium they did not need to pay, Brian Parker II a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A conviction pick on Tacario Davis at the 106th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at No. 115 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bryce Boettcher
They talked themselves into Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 135, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trey Moore
They liked Trey Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 221 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
