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

The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Davis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ray Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ray Davis this early at the Round 2 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in slot 77, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in pick No. 86 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
