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

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.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Reaching for Perkins Jr. left real value on the table behind him. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They took Dillon Thieneman at par in Round 2, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 67: Omar Cooper Jr. for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brian Parker II well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They reached a country mile for Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at slot 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Isaiah World
No drama and no debate, Isaiah World went about where he belonged in the 134th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
They robbed the room for Reggie Virgil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
A wild overpay on Sawyer Robertson in Round 6, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
They did well to land Keagen Trost in slot 185, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady is a better player than pick No. 219 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
They read the board right and Diego Pavia was the payoff at No. 250. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
