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 would consider drafting Taylon Green out of Arkansas in the 4th as backup QB option..
Was looking at him early on.

And he's a FA that could move over and knows Kubiak's system

Agreed and have been stating so for a long time now. No need to wear him out and it makes sense to have a blazer back there that can catch the ball out of the backfield as well so when AJ comes off the field there is zero loss in the passing game from the RB position. Nick Singleton maybe in the 3rd or 4th? Unless of course Walker isn't acquired in FA...

Interesting wide receiver prospect - Ted Hurst , caught a lot of attention at the senior bowl, kind of looks like Randy Moss

I’m with you on Rutledge, he looks like an NFL caliber IOL to me, I think he’ll go NLT the 4th rd in my opinion.

DJs mock draft 1.0 crushed my dreams of getting Hunter, IDL in the 2nd and Miller, OT in the 3rd

So difficult to predict before free agency…but with all our holes this thing is wide open after Mendoza.
Brandon Cisse in the second has a little juice..elite athlete and potential to be a corner that follows their top guy around.

Unless we sign like 3 FA O linemen we need to think O line in the 2nd.

I think we have a shot at Linderbaum. I just read that the Ravens declined an option that would have been much cheaper than if they were to tag him. I would love to jump up a little bit and grab Pregnon. Plug and play day one starter who is versatile in different systems and is equally good at the run and pass protection.

Not a big deal. I believe they have to tag him as an O lineman not just a center so there was no way he was getting tagged. It's not really an option. I have read he isn't planning on going anywhere it's just a matter of what they settle on.
We have to take a big swing at him IMO. I just don't see him leaving Baltimore

The option that was declined on Linderbaum was last offseason, when they declined his 5th year option. It was way more than any other center had ever made and fully guaranteed if they exercised, so it was a no-brainer to decline it.
I've been vocal in wanting Linderbaum. I will say, however, that fans shouldn't expect him to be a massive powerhouse - he's a technician who's going to make the right line calls and move well, rather than a road grader. He's essentially the opposite of JPJ at center and his tools tend to make the guys around him look better. Thus why I like Linderbaum at center and JPJ at guard where his focus is 100% on mauling.
