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

The Raiders torched the value chart for Demon Clowney, taking him 146 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Landing Mathews Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Mendoza at the 1st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They took Ja'Kobi Lane at par in pick No. 67, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in the 112th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A reach for DeMonte Capehart in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in pick 134 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A quiet steal in the 174th overall pick: Jermaine Mathews Jr. for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Demon Clowney
Demon Clowney in pick No. 180 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at No. 183 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at pick 219, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
