Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Raiders.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hood. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Barham pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, tight end and other spots.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
They paid up for Fernando Mendoza at No. 5 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at pick 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick105 Rnd4 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in the 105th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jaishawn Barham at linebacker with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open.
Pick173 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Duce Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 183rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in slot 185, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
A straight-up fair deal on Quinten Joyner at the 220th pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
