Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Simpson is the plan now, and the Raiders grade out a B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Raiders spent their marquee pick on Ty Simpson, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Freeling to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kilgore. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
No drama and no debate, Anthony Hill Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 36. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Lee III
A reach for Will Lee III in slot 67; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
The board had cheaper options than Monroe Freeling at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the 112th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
The board had Jalon Kilgore higher than the 134th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick173 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at pick 183 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
Fair-plus on CJ Daniels, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner slid further than he should have, and slot 220 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
