Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The tape said wait; the Raiders did not. Wesley Williams went at slot 219, a good 96 picks before the board was ready. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. The Wagner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
No drama and no debate, Dillon Thieneman went about where he belonged in the 36th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in Round 3, Pick 3 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at pick No. 88 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at No. 102 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 J'Mari Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J'Mari Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They let Aamil Wagner come to them and pounced at pick No. 182. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jeff Caldwell in pick 189, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
Wesley Williams in Round 7, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
