BP-Niner DRAFTING FOR THERaiders

Draft Grade — Raiders

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.
