Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Roman Hemby at No. 257, a reach of 100 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Ponds pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in slot 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A reach for Jalon Kilgore in pick No. 102; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in the 120th pick, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They went early on Beau Stephens in the 134th overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in No. 174 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Elarms-Orr went about where he belonged in pick No. 180. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in Round 6, Pick 4 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They read the board right and Taylen Green was the payoff at slot 199. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
The board had cheaper options than Aiden Fisher at the 219th overall pick, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in pick 257, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
