McCarthy is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a A-. 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.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cost of the Hopper reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early.
Pick44
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
You do not let an offensive lineman like Troy Fautanu reach pick No. 44 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 77 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 81 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Devontez Walker in the 83rd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at pick 112 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyrone Tracy Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128
Rnd4
Ty'Ron Hopper
A wild overpay on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 4, Pick 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade is a better player than slot 148 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
The board had Ro Torrence higher than the 191st pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192
Rnd6
Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at pick 192 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take LaDarius Henderson this early at the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
A big swing on Tyler Owens at pick No. 223, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
