Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Princewill Umanmielen at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 83 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They have staked the next five years on Fernando Mendoza, which is the only story that really matters here. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Cooper Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 5 they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at pick No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
A straight-up fair deal on A.J. Harris at pick 67, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
Earl Little Jr. in the 112th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They liked J.C. Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in the 134th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A reach for Bryce Boettcher in pick 173; a little patience would have been rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
No drama and no debate, Xavier Nwankpa went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 3. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick185 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Princewill Umanmielen this early at No. 185. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. in the 220th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
