Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Raiders.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Zuhn III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Fitzgerald at that price is a win they earned.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A reach for Germie Bernard in Round 2, Pick 4; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in slot 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caden Curry
By-the-book stuff, Caden Curry at pick 102 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald slipping to pick No. 117 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
They went early on Max Iheanachor in the 134th pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
