Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Hecht makes the weekend a net positive. If Bell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nothing to complain about; CJ Allen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick67 Rnd3 Markel Bell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Markel Bell in Round 3, Pick 3, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The board fumbled Daylen Everette all the way to slot 102, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
You do not let an offensive lineman like Sam Hecht reach the 117th pick and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at pick 134 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
The board had Cyrus Allen higher than pick No. 174, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in the 180th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
Nice patience on Jalen Stroman, who had no business lasting to pick No. 183. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219 Rnd7 Robert Henry Jr.
Robert Henry Jr. at No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
