Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on McCarthy. The board says 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.

The Torrence pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They will need Owens to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 13 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A premium they did not need to pay, Braden Fiske a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid up for Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Fair-plus on Elijah Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They took Tyrone Tracy Jr. at par in No. 148, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Steal is underselling it; Ro Torrence at the 208th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in pick No. 223 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 229th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
