Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Mendoza: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Hood at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Colton Hood worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Connor Lew
By-the-book stuff, Connor Lew at slot 67 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in the 102nd pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A tidy bit of business in the 117th overall pick, where Zachariah Branch graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Nothing to complain about; Ar'maj Reed-Adams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at pick 174 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Good price on Le'Veon Moss in No. 180, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
The board had Sawyer Robertson higher than pick No. 183, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
No edge and no loss on Ahmaad Moses in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
