Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says 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.

Every board in the league had Freeling lower, and that gap is the story. Getting Moss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at slot 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
They talked themselves into Monroe Freeling at Round 3, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Steal is underselling it; Malik Muhammad at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in pick No. 117 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
You do not let a safety like Jalon Kilgore reach the 134th overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They took Pat Coogan at par in No. 174, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric McAlister at pick 180. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Good price on Rayshaun Benny in Round 6, Pick 4, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss in slot 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
