2026 Draft - Raiders & all teams (April 23-25)
Obvious Mendoza #1 no consideration of trading that pick.
But who you got picks 2 - 4 thats going to help Mendoza.
#2 Raiders should be able to select WR Chris Bell or WR KC Concepcion with our early 2nd.
#3 I forget who it was, but someone here mentioned that the best pure dominant RT coming out of college could be got in the 3rd. And stated hes played his whole career at RT, and not being moved around the line.
Sounds like solid gets
Id hope the rest of the draft is building the trenches, with maybe 1 DB in there
Who else you like ?

A run plugger only in the 4th is fine. Or pick up a vet but from the looks of the prospects I wouldn't draft a DT at 36.

Check this guy out for right guard or right tackle.
Of what I project to be left available at 36tackle, id go with Gennings Dunker.
Can block in space, mauler run blocker, quick kick step , plays till the whistle.

Corleone, Jackson & Orange all do the one thing you want them to do which is anchor & hold there ground but they all have pass rush questions mind you there are sign that they could develop more of a pass rush.GoodTimeCharlie wrote: Tue Mar 17, 2026 5:44 pm If we needed a penetrating pass-rushing DT, I’d agree. Thankfully we’re now more in the market for a massive plug/occupy/crush the middle type. For that we have a few excellent possibilities in Big Orange, Jackson Jr., and The Godfather.
Personally I’d like Big Orange in the 3rd and Godfather in the 4th to give Big Orange the occasional breather when necessary yet not take too big a step-back talent-wise.
Kayden MacDonald & Lee Hunter are wildcards if they drop to the 2nd because they are a little above the guys mentioned, i can’t see either being there though.
As for Banks if he makes it to the 4th then you have to take a shot at a talent like that cause if you can get him healthy then the potential is there for a great 3-4 DL. This isnt Wilson in the 1st with a foot injury this is a day 3 pick where your taking a flyer at potential

The gets in the backfield & is a disruptor from the NT position there is a little Vince Wilfork in him when you watch him

Nothing we have done in free agency changes what we will do in the draft. This is a great draft for OL and DL very deep into the 4th and I expect we will be filling those slots. My personal goal is that we draft in such a way that Meredith is obsolete on the roster. We have for a long time relied on borderline backups as starters.

I want either a DT, O-line, or CB with our second pick, I would be irritated if we grabbed a RB in the 2nd.

Dt free safety and OL are what I would like our focus to be. Yes we could definitely use some upgrades at cb. But we have zero free safties on the roster. The only possible. And I stress possible nose on the roster is peguese and he's definitely not experienced in it. Wr we would all love to have a true number 1 but we have some 2's and 3's which you can win with if the coach schemes them right. We might have guys on the ol with the guys drafted last year. But we don't know and even if we do we still need quality depth.

Oh we're gonna draft one. Just not in the 2nd round. Kubiak made it clear this is gonna be a 2 back offense, just like Seattle was.mstrbass2000 wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 3:03 pm smoke screens do happen...no way in hell should we take a rb in teh 1st 5 rds of the draft...hell we could just sign one after the draft
