FutureF
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, 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.
Allen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
KC Concepcion
A reasonable price with a little left over, KC Concepcion in the 36th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Will Lee III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Lee III in the 67th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
CJ Allen
Steal is underselling it; CJ Allen at Round 3, Pick 10 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
They let Skyler Bell come to them and pounced at No. 91. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Josh Moten
Josh Moten in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
