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

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Roberts that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Value with a capital V on Deontae Lawson in No. 67, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chandler Rivers at pick 102 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in slot 117 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keylan Rutledge in the 135th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
They robbed the room for Chase Roberts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A tidy little value on Pat Coogan in Round 6, Pick 1, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick No. 184 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
Jamal Haynes in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
