Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B, for the Raiders.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Alex Anzalone pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Rodriguez has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value.
Pick66 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They paid up for Caleb Tiernan at Round 3, Pick 2 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb is a better player than pick 101 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at slot 115 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. 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. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick175 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Good price on DJ Campbell in the 175th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
A reach for Lee Hunter in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton slipping to No. 184 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Nothing to complain about; Trey Zuhn III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
