Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

They are betting Murdock proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Everette at that price is a win they earned.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in slot 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the 67th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Steal is underselling it; Daylen Everette at Round 4, Pick 2 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Nice patience on Jalon Kilgore, who had no business lasting to pick 118. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Lee III in the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at pick No. 175 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at the 185th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaelon Black in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
They took Riley Nowakowski at par in the 219th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
