They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The cost of the Wilson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
