Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
Grand theft in No. 173: the Raiders steal Simpson and grade out a B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaylin Simpson tumbling to the Raiders in pick No. 173 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A quiet steal in the 44th pick: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
The board had Matt Goncalves higher than pick No. 112, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Adams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 15. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ben Sinnott at pick 150 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Fair-plus on Jaylen Wright, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zion Tupuola-Fetui in No. 168. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the 173rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They let Zakhari Franklin come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
