The Way Too Early Grade The Draft Thread
D+ we did not get our number one WR LOL
Actually, I like this draft, Spytek moved around a lot and got us some nice pieces. We did not get everything but it feels like Raiderland Christmas.
So let's see those overreaction grades. I know, I know, you cannot grade a draft for 3 years. Boo f[raiders_icon]cking Hoo. Lighten up Francis and grade this glorious weekend.
Mendoza by himself does not get us an A but the rest of the group certainly has to impress when put together. McCoy if he heals up makes the robber barons of the draft.
And there will be UDFAs and post draft pickups and drops. Tyree is going, well eventually, I mean the door s 40 yards away so it will take some time.
Grade A- but if McCoy pans out the grade could change.

The only player that will start is the safety. Everyone else is depth at best. If it weren't for Mendoza, it would be one of the worst drafts of all time.

Welp, I didn't need anymore more confirmation on my opinion that this was a great draft up & down but, I got it. This cements that it's fact, a great draft. No need to even wait 3 years anymore.mranquales wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2026 3:30 pm We wait until the 4th round to go BPA. Too little, too late.

A from me, no reaches no unreasonable bets. Thought we needed a dt but if the value isnt there its just not, cant address every position in one offseason/draft.

We had by far the best draft in the AFC west as of today.

Did anyone see the chargers were looking for any fans to be at the draft?

Grade A from me. Seems like we finally have the right people in the building that are serious in getting the Raiders back to being relevant and competitive.

...got the face of the franchise for the next few years in mendoza, got an actual draft pick[!] for tyree wilson [wow], got a RB2 that can actually contribute and send laube to the gulag, got a kr/pr, revamped the secondary...first year of the rebuild appears to be solid so far

The mood in here is way different than the mood 5 minutes after each pick.
Mendoza himself gets this an A, I think Washington, McCoy, Stukes are all going to be big contributors this year and beyond. 4 starters from a draft gets an A

B+
No NT and the questions about McCoy keep us from A+

I would give us a B+. McCoy may need another surgery and not play this season.

Worst draft of all time? This also the guy that was banging on about Hendon Hooker on the Lions, but didn't know he had been traded...
