Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Boston went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 67th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
