The Raiders treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 134th overall pick on Patrick Payton a full 65 spots early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Everything downstream of Fernando Mendoza depends on Fernando Mendoza, and the building knows it. Landing Muhammad that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
