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.

You forgot DT Miller. Or do you not like him?

I also have Stukes as a FS. Who could come down into the slot/man cover if needed. Haulcy I love too. I have both ahead of EMcW. Would be nice to get one of them with McDonald.Probably would have to trade back into the 2nd for that tho.

18 of the 32 picks were on either the O or D line. If you can win the LOS battles …

I am going Christen Miller or Germie Bernard. Slight bias to Miller.

I like those two as well. Maybe slightly early on Bernard. You not a fan or McDonald? I'd say him & Miller are near equal type rating/ranked.

I think its going to be a WR or DT. McDonald or Miller both would be good fits. I also like Bell and Boston but trimmed it to my favorite 2 on the board.

I'm a big fan of C.Bell too. Even with his injury. I'd like him with a trade back tho. Bell or Bernard with a trade back.

Both my projections from the betting thread are there, Boston and Bisontis but I’m starting to hope we take one of the best DTs in the draft than either. I do think a WR of Boston’s size who can catch would be nice.

Missed a fair bit in the middle, Philly traded up, with Dallas no less, to take a WR? The rumoured Brown trade to New England is on?

Absolutely, but after Jun 1st I believe. Can’t remember why that is, but there was some financial reasoning. Chucker probably knows.
