Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall F
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureD
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says F.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jordyn Tyson, the 174th pick, roughly 165 picks past where he belonged. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick14 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 14 they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 David Bailey
They barely believed it either: David Bailey still on the board at No. 36. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 67 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at Round 4, Pick 2 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at the 117th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick134 Rnd4 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at slot 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
They robbed the room for Jordyn Tyson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
