Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: D-.

Somebody took the Raiders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

However the rest shakes out, Hall at that price is a win they earned.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They took Fernando Mendoza at par in the 1st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 25 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
No drama and no debate, Brandon Cisse went about where he belonged in pick No. 36. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
No edge and no loss on Chase Bisontis in slot 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deion Burks
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deion Burks. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They jumped the gun on J.C. Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They paid sticker price for Bryce Lance in the 117th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They did well to land Will Lee III in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
By-the-book stuff, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 129th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 134th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Louis Moore
The board fumbled Louis Moore all the way to slot 174, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A straight-up fair deal on Zane Durant at No. 176, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 180 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bryce Boettcher in pick 183. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick193 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
They liked Rayshaun Benny enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 14. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at the 199th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Fair-plus on Kaelon Black, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Steal is underselling it; TJ Hall at No. 254 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
