They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop.

Every board in the league had Allar lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Fernando Mendoza · QB · rank 4
In pick No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In the 16th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
A slide stopped in slot 36, with Sonny Styles worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
Daylen Everette is a better player than No. 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 132
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Harold Perkins Jr. at linebacker with running back open.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 142
CJ Daniels in Round 4, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 156
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in the 117th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Mikail Kamara · DE-EDGE · rank 152
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mikail Kamara. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 152 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 177
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zane Durant this early at Round 5, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Aamil Wagner · OT · rank 171
They did well to land Aamil Wagner in pick No. 175, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Anez Cooper · OG · rank 184
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Anez Cooper. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · Jeremiah Wright · OG · rank 216
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Wright in the 208th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · Dallen Bentley · TE · rank 197
They robbed the room for Dallen Bentley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
