Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a A- 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.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Coogan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a passer to set the clock by, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 17 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers in slot 117 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at the 130th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They paid a round early for Jacob Rodriguez in the 156th pick, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Tao Johnson at pick No. 157 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 30 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
A quiet steal in No. 174: Jaden Greathouse for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 185th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A real head-scratcher, Pat Coogan in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
