Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Black pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Stukes value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

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 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in pick No. 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in No. 102, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A cornerback of that caliber at the 117th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They let Will Lee III come to them and pounced at pick 134. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J'Mari Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They reached a country mile for Kaelon Black at the 185th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at the 208th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Landon Robinson
Landon Robinson in Round 7, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
