Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall
B

FutureB-
The Raiders left with their quarterback, and a B to match. 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. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That McCoy pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In No. 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in pick No. 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
