Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jam Miller at pick No. 208 is 76 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Anderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They did well to land CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at pick 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They talked themselves into Isaiah World at No. 117, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in Round 4, Pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick175 Rnd5 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 175th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick182 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Toriano Pride Jr. in No. 182, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in pick 185 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jam Miller
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jam Miller well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
