Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
McCarthy is the Raiders' new face under center. Grade: B+.

The search is over. The Raiders handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Hadden at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Taylor III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 20th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick31 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 31 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Fair-plus on Ja'Lynn Polk, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in No. 98; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 20; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau is a better player than slot 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in pick 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They took Frank Gore Jr. at par in the 223rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
