Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will need Koziol to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 16th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick31 Rnd1 Brandon Cisse
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick No. 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They took Lee Hunter at par in the 63rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in pick 67 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick95 Rnd3 Caden Curry
No edge and no loss on Caden Curry in No. 95; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at slot 102 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner Koziol this early at pick No. 117. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Logan Jones
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Logan Jones. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
Nothing to complain about; Eric McAlister went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They paid sticker price for Thaddeus Dixon in the 180th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key at pick 183 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joey Aguilar. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
