Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: D-.

The Raiders spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Domani Jackson, and the board is going to hold them to it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 24th pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They reached a country mile for Domani Jackson at the 134th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Le'Veon Moss
A real head-scratcher, Le'Veon Moss in pick No. 175 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaden Wetjen in Round 6, Pick 4, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at pick 208 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Nwankpa at the 219th pick, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
