Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The Roman Hemby selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 171 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick 36 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They took Elijah Sarratt at par in No. 67, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Nothing to complain about; Genesis Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in Round 4, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They paid a round early for Taylen Green in No. 175, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
Value said wait; Roman Hemby in pick 185 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Nowakowski well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
