Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

The Princewill Umanmielen selection is the head-turner. The Raiders reached 99 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The Casey value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 36th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
The board had Darrell Jackson Jr. higher than pick No. 67, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Monroe Freeling. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick134 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Domani Jackson at slot 134. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Princewill Umanmielen this early at the 174th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 182 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Bryce Boettcher
No drama and no debate, Bryce Boettcher went about where he belonged in slot 185. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
A big swing on Jamal Haynes at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
