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 ?

I've only seen Cooper mocked in the mid 1st round. 16-22

Yes, we'd likely have to trade back into the 1st for him.

[DanKD]

Pretty amazing the jaguars gave up an extra first to move up for what is amounting to a decent cornerback prospect

Draft kings has some interesting low odds bets out there.

lots of talk that 10-12 oline guys get drafted rd 1

I think it will be more like 7-8 get drafted before our 2nd pick

I have seen as low as 6 but no more than 8 in the first round but I admit they change their mind so often with these mocks that it is hard to keep up. But I personally do not have more than 6 graded out as first rounders. But then again, Oline tend to be over drafted. No way in hell 10-12 go in the first round.

That chart shows how much of a crap shoot it is trying to predict who's getting drafted where.

I bet 100k on mendoza being #1 overall. Will be easiest 5 bucks i ever made

about 3 picks are usually pretty safe bets but yea, hell, we could in theory trade out of the top spot.

We are not going to but in theory.

[mstrbass2000]

Yes, we'd likely have to trade back into the 1st for him.

cooper will be gone early 20's if not sooner, the cost to move from our 2nd rd to 20 is not cheap

Yes, and I'm on record stating that I believe the payoff would be worth it. IMO, familiarity with his #1 WR is a huge deal for Mendoza and would benefit the Raiders greatly.

“I think everyone would love the traditional Megatron X in their offense,” Kubiak said when asked about the need at the position. “You don’t see those guys as much. I think you’re just trying to get your five best eligibles however you can get them and then go get them open on game day.”

Go figure...

love this kid...tall,fast and explosive, needs to add about 15 lbs and play more physical

[16 to 88]

lots of talk that 10-12 oline guys get drafted rd 1

There is 8 guys that are considered round 1 top of 2 before a drop off...

Mauigoa
Ioane
Fano
Miller
Freeling
Proctor
Lomu
Iheanachor

Not necessarily in this order.

Then next level of OL is Pregnon and then Bisontis. Not necessarily in this order. The question becomes, if teams start gobbling up OL when our turn comes around at 36, our the guys on our board that are left over to draft considered worthy of being drafted at that position? If not, maybe you see a trade down to pick up one of the guys left over and acquire another pick? Everyone already knows Fernando will be the first selection. If all 8 of those guys are selected after consider this...

Tate
Lemon
Tyson
Boston
Cooper

All could be selected in round 1 top of 2 before our pick 36.

Love
Styles
Downs
Reese
Bailey
Bane
Delane
Sadiq
McCoy
Thieneman
Faulk
Parker
McNeil-Warren
Woods
McDonald
Mesidor
Simpson
Jacas
Young
Howell
Hood

All to be considered along with the usual surprise pick(s) and the guy(s) that slide out of the first round...
