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. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allar. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nothing to complain about; CJ Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Miller
They let Blake Miller come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 3. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers slid further than he should have, and No. 102 is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan in the 134th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in the 175th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor slipping to pick No. 182 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
They read the board right and Febechi Nwaiwu was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
No drama and no debate, Raylen Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 3. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
