Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Riley Nowakowski at the 185th overall pick is 88 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They went early on Lee Hunter in slot 36, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Sarratt at the 67th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Treydan Stukes in No. 102. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Kilgore. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in pick 134, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A conviction pick on Taylen Green at pick No. 175 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 182nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Nowakowski. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Charles Demmings well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
