Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders found their guy under center in Simpson: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Ty Simpson is the Raiders' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In pick 7 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They took Jake Slaughter at par in slot 38, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Nice patience on Ja'Kobi Lane, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jalon Kilgore in the 136th pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick No. 173 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
The board had Jermaine Mathews Jr. higher than the 187th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jahiem White
Jahiem White at No. 222 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
