Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Every board in the league had Hemby lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

That Slaughter pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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 pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Sarratt at Round 2, Pick 4 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 67th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A tidy little value on Jalon Kilgore in pick 117, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick134 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
A straight-up fair deal on Max Iheanachor at pick No. 134, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at slot 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Josh Moten
They took Josh Moten at par in No. 183, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
No edge and no loss on Miles Kitselman in Round 6, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A big swing on Roman Hemby at No. 219, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar in the 226th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
