Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says B-. 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.
The Rutledge pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Cooper Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick36
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Hill Jr. at slot 36 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102
Rnd4
Omar Cooper Jr.
They let Omar Cooper Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 102. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
They reached into another round for Keylan Rutledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Value with a capital V on Tacario Davis in pick No. 134, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aaron Graves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182
Rnd6
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at pick 182 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185
Rnd6
Aamil Wagner
A straight-up fair deal on Aamil Wagner at slot 185, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219
Rnd7
Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
