Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: A-.

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. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Coleman Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Bowry reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with CJ Allen worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
By-the-book stuff, Keionte Scott at No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Value with a capital V on Skyler Bell in the 102nd overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
They jumped the gun on Jude Bowry, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bishop Fitzgerald at pick No. 117. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 134th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick 176 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick180 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu in pick 180 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in the 183rd overall pick, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in Round 7, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
