Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, 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. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Trotter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They are betting Leigh proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Haulcy pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still on the board.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, A.J. Haulcy adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, cornerback and other spots untouched.
Pick102 Rnd4 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at No. 102 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in pick No. 117 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A clean, defensible pick in the 134th pick with a little surplus value in Ar'maj Reed-Adams. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A reasonable price with a little left over, Pat Coogan in the Round 5 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick183 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tristan Leigh in Round 6, Pick 4, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Conner Weigman
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Conner Weigman in pick 219, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
