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 still have a feeling Jerry is going to trade us pick #20 and something else to get Maxx just around draft time.

So from there where the hell do we go?

I'd be good with it. Would prefer #12 but #20 and a 2nd in '27 for Maxx I'd be fine with. Go best O lineman or Cooper there at 20.

Just know, Lying season is here. Teams are going to lie nonstop and "leaked" draft secrets are merely lies or some idiot in a basement making shit up

Yea I'm definitely over Maxx...who's to say what the drop off will be after the supposed knee clean out turned into a full blown knee surgery...he may be at 63%;)

I hear ya, but it does happen.

Tyreek Hill
Julian Edelman
Doug Baldwin
Victor Cruz
Michael Thomas
Donald Driver
Brandon Marshall
Jakobi Meyers

None of these guys had what one might define as productive seasons but they turned out to be great pros. Would love to see Thornton do the same. He certainly has all the tools to do so.

Think it's Bo's nephew.

Im not optimistic about Thornton. I think Bech could be a good player though.

Im leaning twords DL 2 weeks out at 36

If we talking need on offence outside of OL then i don't think it’s WR, i think it RB because Jeanty cannot & should not carry the full load if we want him to be the talent we know he is

With who we have right now it looks like we have the guys to fill in every role but that Charbonnet physical type runner to pair with Jeanty

Nailor/Tucker = Shahid
Bech = JSN
Bowers = Kupp
Jeanty = Walker
??? = Charbonnet
Mayer = Barner
Heyward = Ouzts

Individually the production or talent might not be as good at some positions but the fit & scheme might spike that especially with someone like Nailor

If we could grab physical runner like Jonah Coleman or Adam Randall in the mid rounds to relieve Jeanty i think this offence could be sneaky good

I’m a build the trenches guy if the talent is equal & it is where i think we should prioritise, if a guy like Cooper drops that is to good to pass over at 36 then we have to take them.

I'm feeling a trade down, from what I'm reading, (could be all smoke and mirrors) but there's talk that no DTs will go in the 1st rd, and also that teams might wait on receivers so there may be a lot of depth falling to the 2nd and 3rd rds.
