Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Trotter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse is a better player than the 46th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They robbed the room for Lee Hunter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at No. 77 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They jumped the gun on Jalon Kilgore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in Round 4, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at pick No. 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They liked Xavier Nwankpa enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 174. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick183 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A reach on Pat Coogan in the 183rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
The board had cheaper options than Aiden Fisher at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They paid a round early for Eli Heidenreich in slot 231, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
