Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend 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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Nowakowski to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Stukes steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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 pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A reach on Lee Hunter in No. 36; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in slot 67. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Circle this one: Treydan Stukes at the 117th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They paid sticker price for Chris McClellan in pick No. 134, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 175 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 VJ Payne
The board had cheaper options than VJ Payne at Round 6, Pick 1, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick185 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They talked themselves into Zxavian Harris at Round 6, Pick 4, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at slot 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
