The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Shelton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Landing Chambliss that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
