Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
C-
ValueA+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a C- to match. Thirty-one other rooms let Jermod McCoy slide, and the Raiders were the ones holding the card at No. 242. Highway robbery. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.
They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
The Raiders paired the rookies with proven help, Riq Woolen leading the way.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In slot 27 they get a passer to set the clock by, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jordyn Tyson
They barely believed it either: Jordyn Tyson still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in pick 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102
Rnd4
Mansoor Delane
You do not let a cornerback like Mansoor Delane reach pick No. 102 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dante Moore
Dante Moore at Round 4, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano at the 117th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kenyon Sadiq
Taking Kenyon Sadiq in No. 129 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134
Rnd4
LT Overton
The board fumbled LT Overton all the way to the 134th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kayden McDonald
Steal is underselling it; Kayden McDonald at slot 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145
Rnd5
Colton Hood
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 145 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at slot 163 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165
Rnd5
CJ Allen
They robbed the room for CJ Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cashius Howell
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Cashius Howell in pick 174, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd5
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 182nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185
Rnd6
Trevor Goosby
Somehow Trevor Goosby was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 4, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick187
Rnd6
Brandon Cisse
They will replay Brandon Cisse at No. 187 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jonah Coleman
Somehow Jonah Coleman was still sitting there in slot 198, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd7
Romello Height
Romello Height at pick 219 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 221st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cayden Green
The board fumbled Cayden Green all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in Round 7, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243
Rnd7
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler in No. 243 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
