Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend 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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wheatley.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Reaching for Owens II left real value on the table behind him.

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. A real need, handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They took Omar Cooper Jr. at par in the 78th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Somehow Zakee Wheatley was still sitting there in No. 102, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at Round 4, Pick 7 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Scott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
By-the-book stuff, Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 117 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in slot 174 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 183rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
No drama and no debate, Ahmaad Moses went about where he belonged in the 219th overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A wild overpay on Rueben Owens II in pick 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys at Round 7, Pick 19 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
