FutureB-
The Raiders bet the future on Simpson. The board says B. The Raiders spent the pick that matters most on Ty Simpson, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Maiava pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 39, where Denzel Boston graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in pick 74 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 109th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson slid further than he should have, and slot 134 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Boettcher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick187
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in No. 187 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
DeAndre Moore Jr.
The board had DeAndre Moore Jr. higher than Round 7, Pick 10, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
