Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Raiders answered their biggest question with Simpson. Grade: C.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Raiders shredded theirs for Raul Aguirre Jr.. He came off 390 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

Landing Thieneman that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Whatever Ty Simpson becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In slot 1 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa in pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Raul Aguirre Jr.
Raul Aguirre Jr. at the 67th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in No. 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in Round 4, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jerand Bradley
Value said wait; Jerand Bradley in No. 175 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
You do not let a tight end like Nate Boerkircher reach pick No. 208 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at pick 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
