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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Slaughter reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
