Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueD+ NeedB TradesC- FutureC
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a C weekend for the Raiders.

There is reaching, and then there is JoJo Earle at the Round 4 slot. The Raiders jumped the board by 168 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at Round 2, Pick 4 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Pat Coogan
They reached a country mile for Pat Coogan at the 67th overall pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Rodriguez at pick 88, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 100th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They took Zachariah Branch at par in slot 102, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kage Casey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kage Casey this early at pick No. 117. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 JoJo Earle
JoJo Earle in pick 134 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
They reached into another round for Jordan Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Value said wait; Kalil Alexander in No. 180 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaleel Skinner
A real head-scratcher, Jaleel Skinner in the 183rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Denver Harris
Denver Harris at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Raul Aguirre Jr.
Raul Aguirre Jr. in the 209th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jeff Sims
A big swing on Jeff Sims at slot 219, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at slot 232 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kendal Daniels
They talked themselves into Kendal Daniels at No. 242, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tywone Malone Jr.
Tywone Malone Jr. at pick No. 243 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
A wild overpay on Zen Michalski in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 E.J. Williams Jr.
E.J. Williams Jr. at Round 7, Pick 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Trey Cooley
Trey Cooley at pick 256 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
