Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B, for the Raiders.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Styles. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They paid sticker price for Fernando Mendoza in slot 1, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 36 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 102 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Miller. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 135th pick on Jaishawn Barham with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick176 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
A tidy bit of business in pick 176, where DJ Campbell graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A tidy little value on Pat Coogan in Round 6, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A slide stopped in No. 184, with Xavier Nwankpa worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brandon Inniss
They took Brandon Inniss at par in pick 219, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
