Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Raiders found their guy under center in Mendoza: B.

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

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Rodriguez pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza at pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in pick No. 66 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A quiet steal in the 101st overall pick: Keon Sabb for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at Round 4, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Rodriguez a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick175 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 175th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
They went early on Lee Hunter in No. 182, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Lander Barton at slot 184. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
