Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Zvada reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 1 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They took CJ Allen at par in pick 36, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
A big swing on Monroe Freeling at the 67th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in No. 102 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in the 117th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A slide stopped in slot 134, with Michael Trigg worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
They reached into another round for Dominic Zvada, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Value with a capital V on Jaydn Ott in Round 6, Pick 1, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A tidy little value on Bud Clark in the 183rd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Luke Altmyer in pick 219, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
