The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

However the rest shakes out, Bernard at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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 No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Max Iheanachor · OT · rank 46
Max Iheanachor at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
They let Christen Miller come to them and pounced at the 67th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Germie Bernard · WR · rank 58
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Germie Bernard in slot 102, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Treydan Stukes in Round 4, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Dametrious Crownover · OT · rank 143
A conviction pick on Dametrious Crownover at No. 134 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 177
Zane Durant at the 175th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 174
Nice patience on Domani Jackson, who had no business lasting to pick 185. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 215
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaelon Black. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Eric McAlister · WR · rank 195
Circle this one: Eric McAlister at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
