Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Elliott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In pick 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Blake Miller · OT · rank 46
The board had cheaper options than Blake Miller at the 36th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 63
Fair-plus on Keionte Scott, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Keyshaun Elliott · LB · rank 124
A reach on Keyshaun Elliott in the 108th pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 85
Taking Skyler Bell in slot 117 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Bishop Fitzgerald · S · rank 125
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 34: Bishop Fitzgerald for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Kage Casey · OT · rank 162
Kage Casey at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Caleb Douglas · WR · rank 167
Caleb Douglas is a better player than pick No. 175 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Dae'Quan Wright · TE · rank 189
No edge and no loss on Dae'Quan Wright in pick 185; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Ephesians Prysock · CB · rank 192
A slide stopped in slot 208, with Ephesians Prysock worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Landon Robinson · DT · rank 220
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Landon Robinson. The roster fit checks out.
R7.41 · Pick 257 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 247
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
