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 ?

According to the full statement he was blocking egress into a building. Was asked to move numerous times and just held his ground. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

If this was a recent arrest, I wouldn't draft anyone that stupid to risk his draft status this close to the draft.

But he did prove that he can block. That's important for a WR in Kubiak's offense.

He's off their board. He can block but can't think on his feet.

I guess he made his point (whatever it was) but may have cost himself some Ben Franklins by lowering his draft status.

Woods has been sinking like a rock lately. Was considers a lock in the middle to back of the first round.

Crazy how he has fallen. I remember an early mock where they had him as the #1 pick.

I understand he is more a 4-3 tackle and was under the impression not a fit on the new 3-4. But then I read we will probably be running the 4-3 the majority of the time anyway.

He would be a nice pick but prefer MCdonald or Hunter.

I do want a NT/DT early regardless.

I think that other players have moved up and he's just a victim of the numbers game.

Remember that moving up and moving down is based on mediots' mock drafts. Other than a couple of draft guys who are pretty plugged in, it isn't necessarily representative of teams' views. It's all we have to talk about at this point, but it may not mean anything.

If we move up, I think it will be for a WR based on the visits we had. I am not saying I agree with it, but it just feels that way to me. At the end of the day, WTF do I know. Nothing (like everyone else).
