FutureB
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-. The Raiders looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took James Brockermeyer at pick 219 regardless, 88 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That Muhammad pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Taking Malik Muhammad in the 94th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in the 116th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
No edge and no loss on Keylan Rutledge in Round 4, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 130 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at No. 134 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Lander Barton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 36 with a little surplus value in Lander Barton. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183
Rnd6
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at the 183rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in pick 202, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
They did well to land Robert Spears-Jennings in the 215th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick219
Rnd7
James Brockermeyer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, James Brockermeyer well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in slot 225 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Ahmaad Moses
A tidy little value on Ahmaad Moses in pick 229, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
