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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Cameron Ball a full 114 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They took Fernando Mendoza at par in the 1st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A tidy little value on Keionte Scott in Round 3, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in slot 80 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They went early on Michael Trigg in pick No. 102, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Bryce Boettcher
They talked themselves into Bryce Boettcher at slot 134, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick175 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 175 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on VJ Payne. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cameron Ball
A real head-scratcher, Cameron Ball in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Jeremiah Wright. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
