Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureA
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B+.

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. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Reaching for Vidal left real value on the table behind him. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
By-the-book stuff, J.J. McCarthy at the 24th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 44 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A reach on Dominick Puni in the 77th overall pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd in Round 5, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at No. 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at pick No. 208 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
They paid a round early for Trevin Wallace in the 223rd pick, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in No. 229 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
