2026 Draft - First Round - Thurs.4/23 - 5/8 pm

Unread post by RunOverByHubbard »

99% chance the Raiders start things off with doing what we all want them to do. Less than a 1% chance they trade the pick? Yep. There will be some interesting trades in the first round, including a possibility our new management trades up into the first round using the "extra" picks we have this year. But, I am expecting an evening of observing and anticipating rounds 2 & 3 tomorrow night.

Enjoy one of the best sports events of the year -- the NFL draft.

No. I love Maxx. Maxx is worth multiple 1st rounders

Probably could have stayed put and got him, but they were saying the other top corner has an injury. They wanted to make sure they got him. Gave up a 3rd, so not that much. If anything it was the Browns who were desperate to trade down.

I don’t mean the trade, I’m speaking to the state of the franchise. It’s crumbling, and it’s certainly not “dynastic” like all the TV bobbleheads were goin’ on about just a few years ago. f[raiders_icon]ck the Chiefs.

Mauigoa has a disk issue with his back and it was stated he would eventually need surgery.
