Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B-

NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Raiders. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
They took Elijah Sarratt at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
