Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureC
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a D+, for the Raiders. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Raiders did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D+.
They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
The Barton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Getting Muhammad where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
A clean, defensible pick in slot 24 with a little surplus value in Denzel Boston. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick36
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in No. 67, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Mike Washington Jr. a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117
Rnd4
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in pick No. 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at Round 4, Pick 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Lander Barton
They paid up for Lander Barton at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
Fair-plus on DJ Campbell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 185 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Miller Moss
Miller Moss in the 219th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
