Annotation by Gabe Thompson
explainerQuick map of why Kiper's Raiders A- is right and his Rams C+ is wrong. Vegas got QB1 plus 9 more picks — that's a roster reset, not a draft. Rams reached for Simpson but he's the only QB in this class with an actual NFL play-action operation. McVay knows what he's doing.
Selected passage
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza went No. 1 to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Los Angeles Rams pulled a shocker by selecting Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick.
