Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Rodriguez pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 36th overall pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 67 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A straight-up fair deal on Caden Curry at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in Round 4, Pick 17 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Elarms-Orr at No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at pick 180 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in the 183rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Miller Moss
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miller Moss. The roster fit checks out.
