Las Vegas Raiders

A passer of the future in Simpson, and a B-, for the Raiders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Ty Simpson, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 10
In the 12th pick they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Ty Simpson · QB · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 36, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
Steal is underselling it; Lee Hunter at slot 67 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Keionte Scott · CB · rank 63
A cornerback of that caliber at the 92nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Brian Parker II · C · rank 110
A conviction pick on Brian Parker II at pick 102 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Trey Zuhn III · C · rank 127
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Will Lee III · CB · rank 126
They read the board right and Will Lee III was the payoff at pick No. 134. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.35 · Pick 175 · Caleb Douglas · WR · rank 167
Caleb Douglas slipping to slot 175 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.4 · Pick 185 · Ar'maj Reed-Adams · OG · rank 175
The board had Ar'maj Reed-Adams higher than pick No. 185, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 208 · VJ Payne · S · rank 201
Fair-plus on VJ Payne, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.3 · Pick 219 · J'Mari Taylor · RB · rank 195
The board fumbled J'Mari Taylor all the way to Round 7, Pick 3, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
