Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Mendoza. The board says 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. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. That Thompson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 1 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They took Anthony Hill Jr. at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in the 67th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
They read the board right and Brenen Thompson was the payoff at pick No. 102. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at Round 4, Pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne slipping to No. 134 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A slide stopped in slot 174, with Sam Roush worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kaleb Proctor
A tidy bit of business in the 180th overall pick, where Kaleb Proctor graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219 Rnd7 Miller Moss
They paid sticker price for Miller Moss in the 219th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
