Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureC-
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Raiders committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If Wallace pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The Raiders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
They jumped the gun on J.J. McCarthy, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in pick 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to Round 4, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick208 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the 208th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
