Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Boettcher lower, and that gap is the story. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Slaughter.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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