Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That Caldwell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They will need Crownover to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller slipping to the 67th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A reasonable price with a little left over, Treydan Stukes in No. 102. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
Steal is underselling it; Brenen Thompson at Round 4, Pick 17 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid a round early for Dametrious Crownover in pick 134, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A straight-up fair deal on Zane Durant at slot 175, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
No drama and no debate, Seth McGowan went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at the 219th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in pick No. 221, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Nwokobia in Round 7, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
