Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
Simpson is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a D-.

Somebody took the Raiders to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The whole projection now runs through Ty Simpson; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The Fields reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
They paid a round early for Gennings Dunker in No. 12, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reach for Olaivavega Ioane in the 33rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They left a pile of value on the table to take Malachi Fields this early at pick No. 67. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 102, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in the 111th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at pick 136 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They jumped the gun on Xavier Nwankpa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
