Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Raiders drew a line under the quarterback search with Simpson: D-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Raiders spent pick 185 on Riley Nowakowski, a name the board had a full 40 spots lower. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Ty Simpson gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Corleone.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In slot 12 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 13th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 32 they get a load in the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren went about where he belonged in No. 39. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick44 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They paid up for Germie Bernard at No. 54 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in the 103rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 VJ Payne
VJ Payne at Round 5, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick185 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
They reached into another round for Riley Nowakowski, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in pick No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
