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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Allen pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They are betting Reid proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick 5 they get a passer to set the clock by, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Isaiah World
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah World. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 CJ Allen
They will replay CJ Allen at Round 3, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 105 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Earl Little Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Earl Little Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick134 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They paid a round early for Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 134, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
No edge and no loss on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 183rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills in pick No. 185 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 220th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
