A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B- weekend for the Raiders.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Landing Scott that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 1st pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
No edge and no loss on Sonny Styles in No. 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Fair-plus on A.J. Haulcy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at Round 4, Pick 2 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deion Burks
A tidy little value on Deion Burks in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at slot 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They read the board right and Kage Casey was the payoff at pick 174. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aamil Wagner. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the 185th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219 Rnd7 James Smith
James Smith at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
