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 ?

I can't wait for Thursday to get here. After that, we can start a whole new moaning, bickering and bitching thread to see how wrong our thoughts, wants, not wants and slandering/calling out of other fans' opinions is/was. This should be fun.

For sure, but it will start on Friday as our Thursday pick is noncontroversial. For me, the biggest wildcard (although unlikely) would be trading Maxx to get another pick in the first round. That would liven up the Forum Thursday evening.

Unless we trade back into the 1st round. Which is a possibility.

i don’t see us moving off of Maxx now. We are still good on cap and he makes our front better. Mayer, Tyree Wilson , and AOC are movable to trade up, plus we have three 4th round picks. We could also trade down like last year in the 2nd and 3rd rounds to pick up more picks.

As much as it’s generally more likely to assume we don’t trade - moving up from 36 to get cooper seems like something to watch for. Lot of reports this may be a trade heavy draft which usually means the trade premiums are likely low. 2022 was like that where teams were moving up for 3rd and 4th round picks. The lions that year moved from 32 to 12 for a swap of 2nds and a 3rd.

I don’t see us selling the farm to move up for cooper - you could argue he’s overvalued right now because it’s not a great receiver class. But if you can move up 6-10 spots for a 4th or something like that - I could see it.

I've been saying i wouldn't be surprised if we trade back into the 1st for Cooper. Would of been great to have pick 33 instead of 36.

And bumping the chiefs pick from 11 to 9 was nauseating

Yes, that too.

I have no problem trading up for any position if that's what they want to do, however Im not very high on Cooper at all. Of course Im also sitting on my couch while I type this so what do I know

He's likely being overvalued but the familiarity I think is huge for our new QB. I guess I could say the same about Sarratt too but we already have a guy similar to his play style on our team in Bech.

[Xramfan]

Admittedly I only watched the national champ game but Sarratt was not impressive in my opinion.

Same here. I think he is over valued because of his connection to Mendoza. I don't want to reach and certainly not move up for him. He seems like a decent player but nothing special and we have a ton of holes to fill

the passing game was stymied thanks to bain,mesidor and company being in fernandos grill on just about every play

[CWood24]

I mean we will need a couple of tight ends next year as Mayer & Thomas are free agents

Even with Mayer & Thomas on the roster i’d say Sadiq would make as much sense as a true No.1 in Kubiak’s offence

He does like to utilise an H-Back which at the moment is Heyward but if a guy like Sadiq was there then he be a big upgrade & perfect for that role

Outside of QB in the 2nd then any position should be looked at

i think cooper will be gone by the end of the teens...i like kc as a great route runner and explosive after the catch or boston both fit playing the x position too...later on i like hurst

Seems like a "let's see what sticks to the wall" article by The Sporting News . . .

Browns trade proposal(?) - Raiders Get: Dillon Gabriel. Browns Get: 2027 5th Round Pick, 2027 Conditional 7th Round Pick (6th if 3+ Games Started, 5th in 5+ Games Started)
