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 ?

Both of them had time on the field last year so offseason, training camp and the speed of the game they will already have a very good feel for it all. Just a matter of Kubiak and company getting the most out of them and putting them in positions to succeed. Bech, Bowers, Mayer and Thornton are all tall targets and Bech, Bowers, Thornton and Tucker all have good wheels.
I just don’t know that they did enough to be considered more than depth at this point. Jury’s still out but relying on them to occupy starting roles seems like a big risk. Both of them just looked like they had no ability to get open.

I like Peter Woods.

I saw guys in the other thread talking about Ioane.

Who are you liking at 14?
Or what moves do you want to see made with 14?

Vega is a LG blindside 10 year starter. Its a no brainer for our crappy line.

Healthy Miller, Loane, and Linderbraum on the blind side for Mendoza. Must protect the kid.

My first preference is to trade down. Maybe we can get a another first round pick next season (7 QB's could go in the first 10 picks). Between our pick and the Ravens pick (which I think may be much higher than people think), we are already in great position. Adding another first would be incredible. Easier said than done, but we can hope.

Is there someone that falls which entices us to trade up? There sure is and that is Downs. I know many have used generational talent over the years. This kid is legit generational talent and will be the next Ed Reed (not to shabby).

Most mocks have Vega sitting there for us. He would be an INCREDIBLE pick. The Max trade hopefully becomes Vega, a first next season, Linderbaum, and some cap space. That trade goes from A+ to an A++++ if it works out this way.

I’m really surprised by that. I would have thought that 2019 was better, 4 picks in the first 40 something. And doesn’t someone (Jets?) have 3 firsts this year, must be thin in later rounds.

I’m sure Spytek will be trying to turn a couple of the 4ths and the 5th into something better.

We have 3 Fourth rounders? Need to ship a pick or 2 out for 1 or 2 quality young players is possible.

Does anyone know how much needs to be put aside for the new draft class?

All these signings make me want Peter Woods on our d-line more.

Looks like it's about $26 million at the moment.

I’m hoping we go back to back DT with the 14th and 36th. We desperately need an influx of talent for the DLine. Woods and Lee
