Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Raiders, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The cost of the Freeling reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.15 · Pick 15 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 23
In slot 15 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Akheem Mesidor · DE-EDGE · rank 37
A straight-up fair deal on Akheem Mesidor at pick 36, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
