FutureA+
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says B. The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Moss pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Igbinosun has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Perkins Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In slot 32 they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Nyck Harbor
By-the-book stuff, Nyck Harbor at No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64
Rnd2
Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at the 64th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cayden Green
They did well to land Cayden Green in Round 3, Pick 30, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 109th overall pick on Harold Perkins Jr. with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick134
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 134 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Max Iheanachor
A quiet steal in pick 171: Max Iheanachor for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in pick 175 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at No. 187 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 210th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at pick No. 227, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254
Rnd7
Miller Moss
Miller Moss at slot 254 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
