Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
A straight-up fair deal on Fernando Mendoza at slot 1, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick27 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 27 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 32 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A clean, defensible pick in the 51st overall pick with a little surplus value in Emmanuel Pregnon. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Connor Lew
No edge and no loss on Connor Lew in the 67th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A tidy little value on Earnest Greene III in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric McAlister at No. 180. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in Round 6, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
No drama and no debate, Isaac Smith went about where he belonged in the 219th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
