The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Nowakowski lower, and that gap is the story. Golday falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
