Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

Some picks age like wine; Roman Hemby at the 219th pick will need to, sitting 128 spots clear of his grade.

So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. On value alone, Slaughter makes the weekend a net positive.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Sarratt at pick 36, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in No. 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in Round 4, Pick 2, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They did well to land D'Angelo Ponds in slot 117, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slipping to the 134th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 174th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
They read the board right and Tanner Koziol was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in No. 185 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A real head-scratcher, Roman Hemby in pick 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
