Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Raiders took Roman Hemby a full 128 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

The Everette pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at No. 67 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They will replay Daylen Everette at the 102nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Kilgore. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
No edge and no loss on Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 134; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in slot 175 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaelon Black this early at Round 6, Pick 1. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski in pick No. 189 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Logan Fano
They talked themselves into Logan Fano at No. 208, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
A straight-up fair deal on Aiden Fisher at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick226 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in pick 226, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
