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

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Heidenreich to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and tight end went begging. Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at pick 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 67th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A curious use of the 102nd pick. Edge rusher and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Zakee Wheatley did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at Round 4, Pick 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Caleb Douglas
A clean, defensible pick in No. 170 with a little surplus value in Caleb Douglas. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at slot 175 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Travis Burke
Nice patience on Travis Burke, who had no business lasting to pick No. 185. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in pick No. 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A real head-scratcher, Eli Heidenreich in pick 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
