Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

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. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Terrell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
No edge and no loss on Fernando Mendoza in No. 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick32 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They paid sticker price for Elijah Sarratt in pick 41, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 102, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A straight-up fair deal on Parker Brailsford at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the 134th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Taylen Green
The board had Taylen Green higher than the 174th overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 180, where Eric McAlister graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 183rd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
