Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

On value alone, Stewart makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Iheanachor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 2, Pick 4 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in the 67th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They jumped the gun on Chase Bisontis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Iheanachor in the 117th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They did well to land CJ Daniels in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
Taking Terion Stewart in slot 180 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jermaine Mathews Jr. still on the board at pick No. 183. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
They read the board right and Kevin Jennings was the payoff at the 219th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
