After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In slot 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 33
Chris Johnson in the 36th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Zachariah Branch · WR · rank 65
No edge and no loss on Zachariah Branch in No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
