99% chance the Raiders start things off with doing what we all want them to do. Less than a 1% chance they trade the pick? Yep. There will be some interesting trades in the first round, including a possibility our new management trades up into the first round using the "extra" picks we have this year. But, I am expecting an evening of observing and anticipating rounds 2 & 3 tomorrow night.

Enjoy one of the best sports events of the year -- the NFL draft.

Malachi Lawrence. Great pick. Way better than Faulk for sure

I think Lawrence is a bit of a reach here. Good player though.

We had a meeting with him IIRC

Cooper has risen too high to be worth it imo.

I honestly forgot about Lomu.

11 picks away.

5 more picks is where they'd move up

I. never liked Faulk myself in the first. I see him more of late 2nd. I just don't see any juice in him. Looks too slow

WR I want the most is Becker next year.

Edit: And Smith of course, but I don’t think we’ll be picking that high.

Please do not trade up for Lomu or Cooper.
