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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

That Nwaiwu pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If McAlister pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
