Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
The Raiders found their guy under center in Ward: B-.

The Raiders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 153 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They are betting Simpkins III proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 6 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 19 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in No. 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 4. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 143rd 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.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Fair-plus on Jack Nelson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at pick 213 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
A wild overpay on Torricelli Simpkins III in the 215th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
