Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- 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.

If Dennis-Sutton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dani Dennis-Sutton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A tidy little value on A'Mauri Washington in pick 67, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at slot 102 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick117 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 117: Earl Little Jr. for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Johnson at Round 4, Pick 34 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They paid sticker price for Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 174, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
Value with a capital V on J'Mari Taylor in the 182nd pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in the 185th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Rasheem Biles
Nothing to complain about; Rasheem Biles went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
