Draft Grade — Raiders

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Pavia pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
No drama and no debate, Fernando Mendoza went about where he belonged in pick 2. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Taurean York
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Taurean York at pick No. 66. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick101 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Tiernan at Round 4, Pick 1 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A safety of that caliber at the 115th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
They robbed the room for Diego Pavia here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. The roster fit checks out.
