Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says 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. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trotter. If Leigh pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Haulcy pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 36th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots to take A.J. Haulcy, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick102 Rnd4 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in slot 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
No drama and no debate, Keylan Rutledge went about where he belonged in pick 117. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick No. 134. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at No. 174 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 180th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
A real head-scratcher, Tristan Leigh in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Conner Weigman in the 219th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
