Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B+ for the Raiders.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Reaching for Hunter left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Mendoza at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick18 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In pick 18 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A tidy little value on Jake Slaughter in pick No. 49, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 John Mateer
John Mateer in slot 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They paid a round early for Jack Endries in the 101st overall pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Lance a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bray Hubbard in No. 118, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A straight-up fair deal on Keylan Rutledge at Round 4, Pick 36, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at Round 5, Pick 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
They did well to land Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 182, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They talked themselves into Lee Hunter at the 183rd pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Raylen Wilson at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
