Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They are betting Delp proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

That Stewart pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 CJ Allen
No drama and no debate, CJ Allen went about where he belonged in pick 36. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick77 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick No. 77 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 102nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in Round 4, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oscar Delp. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Bud Clark
By-the-book stuff, Bud Clark at the 184th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick219 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
Good price on De'Zhaun Stribling in the 219th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
