FutureA+
The Raiders found their guy under center in Mendoza: B+. Start where it matters. The Raiders took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive.
Adding Tyrel Dodson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 10th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at slot 83 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
