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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Green reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in pick 80 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caden Curry
No drama and no debate, Caden Curry went about where he belonged in the 102nd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at the 113th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A clean, defensible pick in No. 117 with a little surplus value in Bryce Lance. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taylen Green well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kobe Baynes
Fair-plus on Kobe Baynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at pick 180, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at the 183rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
A reach for Dominic Zvada in the 219th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
