Start where it matters. The Raiders took Ty Simpson to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Kadyn Proctor · OT · rank 13
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.18 · Pick 18 · Ty Simpson · QB · rank 14
In the 18th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 72
They took Jacob Rodriguez at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
A reach for Daylen Everette in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 87
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in No. 87; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
