Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Kilgore makes the weekend a net positive.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Fair-plus on CJ Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
A quiet steal in the 102nd overall pick: Malik Muhammad for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Lee III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
