The Raiders passed this draft with flying colors. The biggest issues for the Raiders the last two years, aside from being a talent deficient team with no depth, have been no consistency at quarterback, a poor offensive line and a weak front seven. This draft alone addresses a lot of those key points.

Mack will come in and be a full-time starter right away. Head coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver will use him in multiple ways. Mack was one of the draft's elite pass-rushers and he'll give Oakland's pass rush a boost in 2014.  

Carr gives the Raiders a plan at quarterback beyond the 2014 season. Prior to 2014 under Reggie McKenzie, the Raiders have used fourth-, fifth- and sixth-round draft picks to acquire quarterbacks. A second-rounder is the highest pick that McKenzie has used on a quarterback so far. 

There was no Andrew Luck in this class. There were several quarterbacks in the class who all had some talent, but needed more development or lacked ideal size. Carr was considered to be the best pure passer in this draft and also comes into a situation where he doesn't have to start right away. He can take 2014 to work on his weaknesses and improve at his craft. 

Oakland may have found their starting guard in the third round. The interior of the offensive line for the Raiders has been a mess the last couple of years. Only Stefen Wisniewski has been a bright spot. Jackson is a beast and should find himself in the starting lineup the first week of the season. Jackson and Austin Howard are most likely to be the starting guards for Oakland in 2014. 

The fourth round brought two players that will see playing time in 2014 on a rotational basis. Ellis will probably get the second-most snaps out of any defender taken in this class. The Raiders depth is thin at defensive tackle and Ellis has the size, strength and ability to make an impact for the Raiders.

McGill is a big cornerback who will probably find himself playing special teams to start. He may work his way onto the field more later in the season or if there is an injury to one of the starters at cornerback. I love his size and his confidence. 

The seventh round brought in some interesting players for the Raiders. Guys like Dowling and Harris had some issues with their college teams. Dowling was kicked off the Florida Gators and Harris was dismissed from his team in 2013. Had they not had issues in college, we could be talking about these guys being taken in the top half of the draft.

McKenzie did well picking these players up and giving them a second chance. If they can put any off-field issues behind them and play football then the Raiders found themselves some talent in the seventh round. Carrie may be the only player that makes an immediate impact from the seventh round. He'll get an opportunity to field kicks and his athletic ability may get him more playing time on special teams.
