Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: A-.

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 18th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmett Johnson at Round 4, Pick 3 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Joly at No. 117. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Good price on Tacario Davis in the 119th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They did well to land Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
A quiet steal in pick 180: Marlin Klein for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
They let Jeff Caldwell come to them and pounced at pick No. 219. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
