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

The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 181st overall pick on Roman Hemby a full 107 spots early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They paid sticker price for Elijah Sarratt in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at pick No. 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to slot 102, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Fair-plus on Jalon Kilgore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kage Casey
A reach for Kage Casey in No. 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zane Durant at slot 176. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in No. 181 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in pick 184 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Taking Jalon Daniels in the 219th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
