[Xramfan]

Who do we want?

McDonald is preferred by most in here so youse nose that’s the kiss of death.

he may be an afterthought because I see him as a top 2 in the second, could be wrong, but at worst I think the Bills could come calling unless they go Boston. So much at play in this top end of the round.

[16 to 88]

If McDonald’s is there, I’m guessing that’s who they go with. If not, I have a sneaky suspicion that they would like to draft Bernard.

we all knew who we were picking with the first pick so this is basically the starting point of the draft for us. In an unknown way that is…

yep, way too many options and any and all options are on the table. Trade into one of the top spots, trade down and pick up ammo or stand pat and take a day one starter. I want the third option but it has to make sense in the plan.

At 36?!

Heads up for all the mock drafters out there. What is success in round one if you are a major player in the mock draft business? Try 7 picks right is outstanding and 3 right is considered very good.

So, again, it has never been about being right, it has always been about clicks and conversation.

mcshay and shrager r the best of the bunch...kiper has always been just good for tv ...anyone know if mayock did put out one ???

If no Boston at 36, which I don't think we'll take him there, then maybe Ja'Kobi Lane or Malachi Fields in subsequent rounds. Both are X-type WRs that can be had later on.

I’d hate that. These are the WRs that are making people think this draft is deep at WR. I dislike most of them. Not a Labe, Fields, or Brazzell fan at all. I hope they’re not on the Raiders board. They have crap route running, deception in their footwork, nor much nuance at the WR position. They’re pretty much just size, speed guys. Or just one of the two. Without getting separation due to their IQ &, breaks in & out of their routes.

Boston, Hurst, C.Bell are a few of the exceptions. When it comes to size speed. They have more to their game than just that &, they use their size speed more intelligently in their game.

steve smith said his favorite wr in this draft was ted hurst ...i like him too

[haji81872]

I vote that whoever we pick there will be people who love the pick and people who hate it.

[mstrbass2000]

steelers r trying to trade up for wr
2nd 56
3rd 76
3rd 85
3rd 99

raiders picking 36

would you trade down with the steelers for pick 56 and 76 ???

[KillerRaider30]

If we think Meredith can stop the likes of Leonard Williams or any of the elite DTs that go select a slot corner.

Personally I only see him getting pancaked.

[BoKnows81]

hearing way too much chatter about Stukes as the 2nd round pick for my liking.

God I hope not. That would be absolute terrible value and especially over who is guaranteed to be there.

[Rabidraider]

I wonder if we jump Buffalo to get MCDonald. It looked like Buffalo strategically traded to just above us for a reason.

[mranquales]

The way Spytek spoke after the first-round interview, I think we might go offensive line in the second.
