Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Roman Hemby. He came off 126 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Nothing to complain about; Arvell Reese went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick36 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 36th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday is a better player than pick No. 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in No. 117 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A reach on Chris McClellan in slot 118; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Farmer in slot 128 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in the 134th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Riley Nowakowski
A big swing on Riley Nowakowski at Round 5, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They reached a country mile for Zxavian Harris at No. 182, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
They talked themselves into George Gumbs Jr. at the 219th pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
