The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Barber to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
