Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall

FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-. 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 punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Chris Brazzell II
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Brazzell II. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
