Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Fa'amoe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Everette. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They jumped the gun on Lee Hunter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They went early on Jacob Rodriguez in the 67th pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The board fumbled Daylen Everette all the way to No. 102, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A straight-up fair deal on Chris McClellan at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 185th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick213 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zxavian Harris. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
