Rock Ya-Sin

The Raiders-Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts exchange brought Rock Ya-Sin to Las Vegas Raiders and sent out Yannick Ngakoue. On hindsight value, this stands as a clear Raiders win on the final curve; the assigned Raiders grade reflects the same valuation. The decision rests on the useful football value created by the names involved

Indianapolis Colts (franchise now Indianapolis Colts) acquired 2018 1st round pick (6th overall, Quenton Nelson), 2018 2nd round pick (37th overall, Braden Smith), 2018 2nd round pick (49th overall subsequently traded, Dallas Goedert) and 2019 2nd round pick (34th overall, Rock Ya-Sin) from New York Jets for 2018 1st round pick (3rd overall, Sam Darnold). Hindsight favors the Colts side the edge because the incoming value produced more lasting franchise value than the package surrendered. The grade is still scaled to the trade tier so minor cash or depth moves do not receive exaggerated treatment.
