Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: D.

The Raiders bet big and early on Elliot Donald, 151 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Downs.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 2 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs is a better player than the 10th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Caden Curry
No edge and no loss on Caden Curry in No. 102; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Blake Miller
By-the-book stuff, Blake Miller at the 117th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in slot 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Pat Coogan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick180 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss at pick 180 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Josh Moten
Josh Moten in No. 183 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd7 Elliot Donald
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elliot Donald well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
