2026 Draft - Raiders & all teams (April 23-25)

Unread post by RaiderFan1 »

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 ?

Not a bad mock at all except for the 5th round DT.

I agree. Think he can compete at LG without messing with his development. But he is a long term LT prospect

6’9” 325. Imagine that next to Laki Tasi, 6’6” 373 playing Guard.

Lomu falling that far? Doubtful but crazier things have happened before.

I’d be incredibly stoked if we were able to get Bell in the 4th. Seems mid to late 2nd to me. But hot damn, if we drafted a 1st round stud WR next year and Bell was the WR2!!! Bowers, Jeanty, with Mendo in his 2nd year. That is f[raiders_icon]cking lights out.

Yeah I'd actually be pretty happy with the first 4 picks. I'd be happy with dt in the 5th but I would rather see a more of a big tree stump space eater as I think that's the biggest need on dline right now

Haulcy I would be on the fence on, mainly fit and I don't think the value is there, I think a DT needs to be 2nd or 3rd rd

Bell no way I'm taking any players coming off injury, a receiver coming off an acl, probably not going to contribute, hard pass, I would rather go with a guy like Ted Hurst

Coleman nothing special there I think you can pickup the same player in later rds

Just my opinion

Fair enough. But I think the value is there for all those players in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th. I agree about the DT though.

I don't think he falls out of the 1st round but it comes down to team needs and there are always some surprise players that slide

Yeah, Haulcy in the 3rd would be awesome. I don’t see him falling to the third since, I personally think he’s better than McNiel-Warren. Haulcy probably goes in the first half of the second. My guess.

& Bell would be frickin’ great in the fourth, injury & all. That’s the only reason he’d fall to the fourth. He’s a fringe first round talent.

Coleman I do really like as RB & backup but, for the mock, I’d have picked two DT in the fourth after Bell.

Another player I’ve become a big fan of in this draft, LB Kyle Louis. Undersized at 6’1” 220lbs but, man is he a ball hawking heat seeking missile to the ball. High IQ &, leader type. This is the type of player the Raiders LB’ing corp still needs (good coverage LB). Quay so far has not developed in that area at all since being drafted so, a great coverage LB is needed to at least rotate in. I think he’d earn lots more snaps in time too. Obviously a weakness would be his size &, get lost in crowds but, he does navigate well before getting to those crowds so, it doesn’t happen often. & if the Raiders have big dlinemen to keep him clean, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Here’s a quick highlight clip. I know highlights are the best to reference since anyone can look good in them but, you can still gather good info from them.

Zero idea if these guys are any good or not or how they will turn out to be in the NFL. Looking at the boards I frequent it doesn't seem like Lomu will make it to pick 36.

Currently Haulcy is rated right around our pick 67

Bell at 102 is currently pie in the sky

Mixed reviews on Schrauth as to wether he is going to be selected in the 117 range

Coleman could be a stretch at 134

And Onyedim is expected to be right around our pick 175

I would say if Lomu isn't there at 36 and we don't draft some other OL there it might throw his entire draft off.

His competitiveness and contested catch ability were never in question, so that speed might have teams a little more interested. I'm sure some scouts are digging into the tape to find out why everyone thought he'd be slower.
I’d think his draft stock should do a 180 with those numbers. For a guy his size, that’s a rock solid time. He was getting late 1st, early 2nd round mocks near the end of the season and then suddenly it cratered largely on the assumption that he just doesn’t have NFL speed, even for a big guy.
