Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match. The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Louis. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The Hunter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
They paid up for Lee Hunter at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A tidy bit of business in the 67th pick, where Emmanuel McNeil-Warren graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102
Rnd4
Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in Round 4, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Mike Washington Jr. at No. 117 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun slid further than he should have, and pick No. 134 is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
Value with a capital V on Febechi Nwaiwu in slot 175, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ted Hurst in pick 182. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189
Rnd6
Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost slipping to the 189th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at pick 208 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at Round 7, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
No edge and no loss on Zavion Thomas in slot 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
