The Raiders finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. The war room fell hard for Dominic Zvada, and it showed at the 219th overall pick: 71 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The whole projection now runs through Ty Simpson; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Coleman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In pick 4 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in pick No. 35 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
They let Jonah Coleman come to them and pounced at No. 66. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
A reach for D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at the 111th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Value with a capital V on Bryce Lance in the 134th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at Round 5, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at the 181st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185
Rnd6
CJ Daniels
A tidy little value on CJ Daniels in the 185th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dominic Zvada well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
