Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Gumbs Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Stukes pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 4. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 67th overall pick is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Treydan Stukes at No. 110. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark slipping to pick No. 134 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They paid a round early for VJ Payne in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick197 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zxavian Harris this early at No. 197. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
A big swing on George Gumbs Jr. at Round 7, Pick 3, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
