FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a D-, for the Raiders. The phones were a trap the Raiders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The cost of the Cooper Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick16
Rnd1
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick25
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in No. 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A quiet steal in the 57th pick: Emmanuel Pregnon for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
A big swing on Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 67, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick102
Rnd4
Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at Round 4, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
No edge and no loss on Chase Bisontis in slot 117; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A reach for DeMonte Capehart in pick 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
