Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

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.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Golday. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Nothing to complain about; Keionte Scott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 102 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in pick 117, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They paid a round early for J.C. Davis in the 134th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They read the board right and Kage Casey was the payoff at the 175th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 4 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at slot 208 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dalton Johnson
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Dalton Johnson for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
