Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If Randall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

However the rest shakes out, Styles at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles slid further than he should have, and No. 36 is lovely value for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at pick 67 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chris McClellan well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in the 117th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
No drama and no debate, Dametrious Crownover went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 34. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Value said wait; Zxavian Harris in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick182 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A straight-up fair deal on Taylen Green at the 182nd pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They jumped the gun on VJ Payne, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick219 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They reached a country mile for Adam Randall at pick 219, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tyler Onyedim
Tyler Onyedim at pick No. 225 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
