Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B- for the Raiders.

The war room fell hard for Roman Hemby, and it showed at slot 184: 104 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Getting Golday where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 1 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 3: Connor Lew for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 117th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kage Casey
They paid a round early for Kage Casey in pick 135, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in pick 176 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
They talked themselves into Kalil Alexander at the 181st pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
They reached into another round for Roman Hemby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
By-the-book stuff, Brett Norfleet at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
