Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says B.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will need Rutledge to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The board had Dillon Thieneman higher than No. 59, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Antonio Williams
They will replay Antonio Williams at the 102nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They paid up for Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 118 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A tidy little value on Lander Barton in slot 176, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Nice patience on Jermaine Mathews Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 181. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Desmond Reid at the 219th pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
