Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Raiders.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hill Jr.. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Good price on Dontay Corleone in No. 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 2: Daylen Everette for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at pick 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalen Stroman
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Stroman at pick No. 134 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in the 174th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They read the board right and Taylen Green was the payoff at slot 180. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miles Kitselman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at Round 7, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
