Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureC+
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B. The Raiders put a flag in the ground for Aidan Hubbard, 104 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Masses where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker in No. 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick52
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
A clean, defensible pick in the 52nd pick with a little surplus value in Lee Hunter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Sarratt. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
Good price on Ted Hurst in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 102nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
No drama and no debate, Jakobe Thomas went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in No. 154 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 160 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185
Rnd6
Pat Coogan
They went early on Pat Coogan in pick 185, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
They paid sticker price for Kaelon Black in slot 215, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Aidan Hubbard
They talked themselves into Aidan Hubbard at Round 7, Pick 41, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
