Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Alexander reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Neal makes the weekend a net positive.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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