In the wake of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have bolstered their roster under the guidance of head coach Pete Carroll. However, some analysts, like Ian Valentino, argue that key players remain available to further enhance the team's performance. Valentino suggests targeting Justin Simmons, a former Pro Bowl safety, who has struggled since his time with the Atlanta Falcons but previously excelled with the Denver Broncos.

Valentino points out Simmons' unique role in Denver, where he was able to thrive due to a more robust defensive scheme. With the Raiders featuring standout pass rushers like Maxx Crosby and Malcolm Koonce, Simmons could regain his form in a more favorable environment. Although the Raiders have added Jeremy Chinn to their secondary, there’s still room for improvement, especially given their 25th ranking in points allowed last season. Simmons’ potential addition could provide a much-needed upgrade in safety.
