Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Wheatley value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every board in the league had Trost lower, and that gap is the story.

The veteran additions, Quinyon Mitchell chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 36, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elijah Sarratt in pick 102, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They will replay Zakee Wheatley at the 117th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Julian Neal
The board had Julian Neal higher than Round 4, Pick 34, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at the 175th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They paid a round early for Taylen Green in No. 185, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at No. 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
