So, I guess this is a way to declare for the draft.

I saw the lack of power in his passes again. The passes take too long to reach the receivers, and that will mean he'll have a lot of interceptions in the NFL. It's a shame there isn't another option. Even Carson Beck, with all his limitations, looked more capable of doing damage with his passes. The Hail Mary barely reached 50 yards. If we draft Mendoza, it'll be another five losing seasons in a row. Didn't anyone else see the same thing I did?

While admitting Mendoza doesn't have an A+ arm, his arm is not much of a concern for me.
My biggest concern with Mendoza is his lack of escapabilty. He runs ok once he gets going, but he's not sudden at all. He's not going to excel at avoiding the pass rush and extending plays. Hate to say it, but I see a slightly better version of O'Connell in that area. It's not a must have, but in todays game it sure is a nice to have.

All the more reason the Raiders MUST focus building a above solid offensive line.

This is to button up his academic life and to make connections for his future.

Yeah he's already working on an exit plan. Some serious smarts.

Andrew Luck is blushing.

“Poor Fernando… anymore eligibility?” a fan said. “A billionaire in sketchers. He means business,” another joked.

Brady probably already told him. Mendoza is excited to be a Raider. Love it.
