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

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. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Shelton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Landing Coleman Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Value with a capital V on Kenyon Sadiq in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
A real head-scratcher, Drew Shelton in pick No. 67 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 4, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the 117th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Good price on Hezekiah Masses in No. 134, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in the 174th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Taylen Green
No edge and no loss on Taylen Green in slot 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at the 183rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
They took Isaiah Nwokobia at par in No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
