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 ?

And he will be somewhat pricy. Jeff Driskel is out there and will be a cheap very experienced guy.

I haven't really looked at Cousins' contract. Isn't he gonna be a minimum salary guy because he got paid a bunch by the Falcons already and so whatever you pay him ends up as an offset? If so, he will likely go somewhere that he has a good chance to be a full season starter.

[Jeevo]

Doesn't Pittsburg make a lot of sense for Cousins? I mean what else is McCarthy going to do, Rodgers again, Murray?

yep, you are correct, I missed that tidbit

[Cruisin with Tooz]

I am not touching Allar. I am drafting one QB in this draft and using draft capital to move around in the draft, certainly try to get back into the third round if possible.

Who? In which round?

rodgers actually had a pretty decent yr last yr

not taking him period. Even with our last 7th it is a wasted pick

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler reports USC WR Makai Lemon ran a 40-yard dash in the “4.48 to 4.53 range” at his Pro Day.
Lemon chose not to partake in any of the athletic testing at the NFL Combine, though he did participate in the gauntlet drill. Either way, he was all but locked in for first-round draft capital already. Though he didn’t blaze the 40, the range scouts timed him at his more than enough to keep him in top-10 contention come draft night. Coming off a 79-1,156-11 receiving season at USC, Lemon will be one of the first receivers off the board both in the real draft and in early dynasty drafts.

Florida DT Caleb Banks broke his foot at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler reports that Banks will be sidelined until June. The fracture occurred in his fourth metatarsal, which was surgically repaired by Dr. Norman Waldrop on March 9th, 2025. Banks totaled three solo tackles, one TFL and three quarterback pressures last year. Banks suffered a foot injury during Florida’s 2025 training camp and missed the first two games. He played in his team’s third game but suffered a foot fracture that required surgery, sidelining him until Week 13. It is unclear whether his most recent injury is a re-injury or a separate issue.

Big fat guys breaking bones in their feet multiple times is no bueno. I hope this guy is off the Raiders' board until at least the 5th.

[DanKD]

Id have him off the board or maybe 7th round at most now.

[chucker]

Tyree Wilson is almost recovered from his foot injury. You can expect a breakout season from Tyree. Book it Daniel.

[BoKnows81]

Id have him off the board or maybe 7th round at most now.

That's a hell of a drop. I think he'll go earlier than that.

[Attyla]

That's a hell of a drop. I think he'll go earlier than that.

5th round, maybe upper 6th

[Rabidraider]

If Penn States running back Kaytron Allen falls to the later rounds I wouldn't mind adding him to the RB room.

[DanKD]

That's a hell of a drop. I think he'll go earlier than that.

It only takes one team but id be hes flagged and off the board of most teams now
