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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Umanmielen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 4th pick they get the face of the franchise, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They took Sonny Styles at par in No. 35, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at pick 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cayden Green
They read the board right and Cayden Green was the payoff at slot 104. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
The board had cheaper options than Chase Bisontis at the 111th overall pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chris Johnson
A quiet steal in pick No. 134: Chris Johnson for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
No drama and no debate, Duce Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at Round 6, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
A big swing on Rasheem Biles at pick 185, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219 Rnd7 Princewill Umanmielen
They reached into another round for Princewill Umanmielen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
