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

Post by 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 ?

Teams can bring in up to 30 prospects for pre-draft visits

Pick 36 has to be the best DT(nose) or oline player available at this point.

I'm amazed how much better the defense shaped up just in free agency.

Just need a great nose tackle and a shut down corner/safety.

I am getting a lot of looks at Pregnon as our second pick and I like that a lot.

I’m all for it. Best thing you can do for a rookie QB is not pass catchers, it’s the o-line. Give him protection and a ground game, upgrade your playmakers later if you need to. I’d personally prioritize RT over LG but either would be a welcome addition. I’m not a Glaze guy though so I may be a bit biased

We won’t really know the FO’s thoughts on Grant until the draft. If we grab Miller in the 2nd, Grant ain’t it and there’s a brawl to be RG. We grab Pregnon, Grant can man the RT spot.

If there's a stud RT available at 36, then just draft him even if you like Grant. Give Grant some more time behind Kolton Miller and then trade Miller at the deadline or next offseason and you're cheaper and younger at tackle. Don't let good players keep you from drafting great players.

I think either way we still need another OT and OG long term!
So with that said, you and your evaluation team selects the best options available if they are your best player on your board, no matter who you have or don't have.

I agree with Chucker, you take one and then look to trade Miller if Grant does seem to be working out. Grant to me is NOT an option to start the year at either spot. I'd preferred we pick up Decker for RT and select another RT in the draft.

So we want to draft a 2nd round RT to start when we have a 3rd round RT on the roster who we could develop & start i like the idea of competition but we have holes to fill

Since when did 3rd round picks mean nothing, people around here told me that 3rd round picks should be starting.

Grant & Rogers did enough for me at the end of the season for the starting gig to be theirs to lose, if Grant really is your LT of the future then getting him reps at RT would Be invaluable to his development

Taking QB out the mix then NT is THE biggest need on this roster & after that it is FS

People are underestimating just how important a good NT is to a 3-4 D & also that if the opportunity to get a good dynamic NT like Hunter, Corleone, Orange or MacDonald (if he drops) presents itself you take it

Again it all depends how the draft cards fall & who drops

im leaning for dt/nt in teh 2nd rd more n more the 3/4 defense does not work if you aint got big bodies on teh front, we also need a wr1 type that can win 50/50 and bust the long ones, i have rt as a need further down the list

I'm not sure how much teams are allowed to do, but since The Raiders have a new head coach so they get a practice/OTA or two prior to the draft.

Imagine getting Pregnon with our second rounder and Zxavian Harris in the fourth.

Pregnon could fall, but Bisontis is a solid option. But at that pick if Pregnon does not fall, Iheanachor will likely be there and he is a good option as well.
