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

Unread 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 ?

I know I'm just an old man yelling at a cloud but if a website demands I disable ad blockers (plural) I just leave.

I did that for a while but then Charlie kept posting links from that site so I figured he must have a better way to view than me. Or he's just doing it to piss me off. I do like the content on that site.

MexicanHulk wrote: Wed Mar 25, 2026 1:38 pm I’ve been a bit disappointed in not signing a FS during FA but, I figure Spy will being drafting one or two. Just wondering if it’ll be day 2 or 3. If day three, I hope early, if the right one is there. I’m hoping 3rd round or later since I want a DT in round 2. Again, only if one of the top DTs is there at 36.

After the “top 2” FS (DT/EMW), I have;

1) AJ Haulcy - I have him ranked higher than E.McNiel Warren. If he falls to the 3rd, that’d be awesome but doubt it. He is an absolute ball hawk & around the ball every play. He’s like Antoine Winfield with his gameplay &, instincts.

2) Treydan Stukes - I see him as Haulcy lite &, a FS not CB. But a FS with versatility. But I believe he’s best as a ball hawking FS who comes downhill very well as a safety to help in the run game. 3rd or a dream 4th round pick.

3) Bud Clark - Again, in the same style of player as the two above just another tier below. Like Haulcy is the top of these guys. Stukes a tier below &, Clark another full tier below. But can actually be a solid starter.

4) Jakob Kilgore - Has some upside to be a center fielder. Very good athleticism, speed &, some kick returning ability. His coverage ability on the back end looks solid actually &, can come up & play man at times. Probably a 5-7 round pick. That could be a really good pick.

5) Cole Wisniewski - Big guy at 6’4” that plays well deep &, reacting to the play in front of him. Has solid insticts in zone/bracket coverages. He also likes to come down hill to help in the run game. He has pretty good tackling technique for a tall guy. He breaks down at the right time, gets low, wraps & tackles. Projections show him as 6th-UDFA. That’s really underrating him imo. He’d be a great second FS to get in this draft.

These are not in-depth scouting reports from me. I just don’t have time to write down more of their games. This is the lazy versions of what I used to do a few years ago.
im with you on dt/nt in the 2nd rd a huge need for a team moving to the 3/4 defense

i like bud clark rd 4

kc concepcion in for a top 30 visit

ESPN’s Ryan McFadden reports the Raiders completed a top-30 visit with Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion this week.
The Raiders are prioritizing building out a young and stable offense ahead of the likely selection of QB Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. The team signed Jalen Nailor out of free agency, but still has a thin wide receiver group. Concepcion caught 61 passes for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in his final college season, gaining steam as a late-first or early-second round pick. The 21-year-old is only one in a long line of receivers the Raiders will talk to prior to the draft, though Las Vegas holds pick No. 36 and would be in prime position to draft Concepcion.

The two knocks on him are his run d is bad although it’s a work in progress & he ran a 4.55 40 but that sort of time is fine for a smart player with great field vision at the position although his game speed looks good
Haven’t watched much of Fitzgerald. The little I’ve seen, he looks like a solid mid round pick. His speed looks adequate. A little quicker than fast which is every bit as important as overall straight line speed. Because it’s about your burst acceleration towards the ball once you dissect the play. He looks adequate in this area. Not elite, not fast but, not slow or a detriment.

The other guys I mentioned as mid rounders, I definitely like over him but, I’d say he could be right after them. I like Stukes & Clark more for sure but, he could be a solid 5th rounder. That’s more my range for him.

Oh yeah it is frustrating to miss out on a good article, and I gather there are ways to get around it, I just haven't bothered to learn them yet. That's why I say 'I'm old man, etc.'

So the truth is that Charlie is just doing it to piss YOU off. That checks out.

I'm using my laptop and I get the option "I'll fix it next time".

I don't get that option anymore. I might have picked next time too many times.

Excellent listen, thanks for sharing. I like Greg Cosells sleeper pick at WR ranked in the 70s. He looks great at the catch point of attack. Catching with the hands is big with me and he looks really good there.

I clicked on an ad site and tripped over a small article. That site is a mess...
