Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a B-, for the Raiders.

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

If McCarthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Speights.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 21 they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick53 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick77 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick 77 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Beau Brade
By-the-book stuff, Beau Brade at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to the 150th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Value with a capital V on Javion Cohen in slot 158, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They liked Jaylen Harrell enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 190. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 Omar Speights
You do not let a linebacker like Omar Speights reach Round 7, Pick 14 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
