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

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots went begging. Landing Ramsey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 4. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 67th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kamari Ramsey
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kamari Ramsey adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane slipping to the 117th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They read the board right and Will Lee III was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
