Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

However the rest shakes out, Green at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the McKinney reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 5th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 32 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Good price on Darrell Jackson Jr. in No. 67, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick105 Rnd4 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the 105th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
A reach for DJ McKinney in Round 4, Pick 12; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at slot 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A tidy little value on Aamil Wagner in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick 185 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd7 Taylen Green
You do not let a quarterback like Taylen Green reach slot 220 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
