Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Raiders.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Black 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. However the rest shakes out, Hunter at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st overall pick they get a long-term answer under center at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They took Omar Cooper Jr. at par in slot 36, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at pick No. 67 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 2, where Zakee Wheatley graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in pick 117 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Fair-plus on Gracen Halton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kaelon Black
A real head-scratcher, Kaelon Black in No. 175 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
Value said wait; Riley Nowakowski in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They read the board right and Taylen Green was the payoff at No. 208. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They reached into another round for Robert Spears-Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
