Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

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. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They are betting Hemby proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Golday pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in slot 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A slide stopped in the 67th overall pick, with Jake Slaughter worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Somehow Jake Golday was still sitting there in No. 102, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: D'Angelo Ponds for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 153 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
No drama and no debate, Oscar Delp went about where he belonged in pick No. 176. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at Round 6, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jermaine Mathews Jr. in Round 6, Pick 4. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
You do not let a quarterback like Noah Fifita reach the 219th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Hemby well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
