Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D+.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Raiders shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 3 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
They took Monroe Mills at par in slot 187, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Josh Moten
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Moten. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
