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

[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 ?

The answer is yes. A good amount so far

I got us at 7 of the picks are signed, But these are rookie contracts which these days are pretty easy to get done. Notable for not having signed are Mendoza, Crawford and Mccoy. The rest are done.

Thank you.

[Attyla]

Thank you.

Mendoza should be fairly easy to get done. He is motivated to get to work, but will be extremely limited in what he can do before camp. But the deal will hinge on fully guaranteed vs the standard language. I suspect we will want to get a fully guaranteed deal unlike a lot of teams that do not want that language. I think it is going to be based on our confidence that we got the right guy.

But I don't think this takes us long to get done.

I know we're not running outside zone exclusively but another knock on Washington is that he's not ideal fit for it

He played for 3 different college teams and all 3 ran the power inside zone. When I look at his highlights i didn't see any where he plants his foot and cuts back.

But watch this vid. Sometimes you dont cut back.



He just jets through.

[KillerRaider30]

his blocking issues are way overblown. his fumbles? That ids a correctible issue most the time

I agree. To start with there's no way he'll be out there on 3rd down.

That is why we got a fullback

[Goodtimes333]

That is why we got a fullback

Whose also a Swiss army knife FB/TE with good hands, can block, run well etc. Nice reminder, Heyward was a great signing

The gathering of the info seems a little creepy, plus I don’t even have an “X” or “Instagram” account, but then, I’m old as f[raiders_icon]ck.

This article has all the info for “following” the rooks.

That is the max deal for his slotting. It is a 4 year deal, so 13.25M per year. Unfortunately, he is making a lot more than some established top tier RBs. It is one of the reasons I am largely not interested in RBs that high in the draft. But Jeanty's deal is just shy of 10M per so there is some context. When Jeanty signed his deal, he was immediately one of the top paid RBs in the league.
