The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jam Miller at pick No. 208 is 76 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Anderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In slot 1 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · CJ Allen · LB · rank 31
They did well to land CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 106
Keylan Rutledge at pick 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Darrell Jackson Jr. · DT · rank 96
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Isaiah World · OT · rank 141
They talked themselves into Isaiah World at No. 117, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · VJ Payne · S · rank 187
VJ Payne in Round 4, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Isaiah Nwokobia · S · rank 212
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 175th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.1 · Pick 182 · Toriano Pride Jr. · CB · rank 201
This one needs a full-page explanation: Toriano Pride Jr. in No. 182, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Aaron Anderson · WR · rank 172
Aaron Anderson in pick 185 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Jam Miller · RB · rank 284
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jam Miller well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Jimmy Rolder · LB · rank 213
Jimmy Rolder at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
