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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Holly at Round 6, Pick 4, a reach of 71 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. That Pavia pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
They took Brandon Cisse at par in slot 36, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the 74th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A clean, defensible pick in pick 102 with a little surplus value in Jacob Rodriguez. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick109 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A reach on Keylan Rutledge in Round 4, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They jumped the gun on J.C. Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at No. 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at slot 180 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Trey Holly
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Holly in pick 183, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 219, where Diego Pavia graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
