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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They will need Rolder to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
No drama and no debate, Dillon Thieneman went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 4. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Rodriguez at pick 67, and it noticed. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Lance a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 117th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
They paid sticker price for Gracen Halton in slot 134, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
They reached into another round for Toriano Pride Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at pick 183 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Fair-plus on Kaelon Black, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
