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.

Reaching for Randall left real value on the table behind him. The Sarratt pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In pick No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Max Iheanachor · OT · rank 46
A reach for Max Iheanachor in pick 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 70
Chase Bisontis at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in No. 102, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Genesis Smith · S · rank 101
Value with a capital V on Genesis Smith in Round 4, Pick 17, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 133
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domani Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 179
Zane Durant in the 185th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Kaden Wetjen · WR · rank 223
Kaden Wetjen at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 275
They talked themselves into Adam Randall at pick 219, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
