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 sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That Allen pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 67th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They let Treydan Stukes come to them and pounced at slot 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Nice patience on Jack Endries, who had no business lasting to the 117th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in No. 134 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 36: Cyrus Allen for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu at pick No. 180 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in No. 183 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Nwokobia in pick No. 219; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
