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 have been all over Pregnon. Hopefully, he is there for us. Many mocks (if you take stock in them) have him available to us. It is still a head scratcher for me that he would be there (especially after having a good combine). I just think we have to go guard because of value (the NFL still does not value the position like it should).

He is not in jeremiahs top 50. He is 49 on espns list
Not claiming thats gospel but there are obviously differing opinions on him.

it is because he needs to add a bit more muscle. He is not going to move around on the line and his speed was not there so next level blocking is limited a bit. That said, his burst is crazy good and his run blocking is really good. I want him to add about 20LBs of lower body muscle to drive those blocks a bit more but he is every bit a top 50 guy

Love Pregnon and Bisontis. They are Day 1 starters at guard. I'd still prefer a starting right tackle at 36 but wouldn't be upset with a Day 1 starting guard.

I can go either way, I know I don't want to neglect the line in the second and I can easily make a case for the third as well. Zxavian Harris in the fourth, yes I am beating the drum for this guy.

He looks slow with poor technique after watching 5m of tape so what do I know.

he is a run block guy, but he is solid foundationally. He is a bit slow but he is definitely a guy who could blossom within his game. I like where we can get these guys, very much some value picks

If he wasn’t such a goober, I’d think he was making such a shit mock on purpose. Hondo’s dogshit mock 9.0.

I trust your analytics.
For years I dove into prospect film and nobody i liked was ever drafted so ive given that up for the most part.

When we had pick14, I would have loved Pounds at that spot. Now, it needs to be a lineman.

Ponds? In what world is he worth the #14 pick?

I have zero bad things to say about any Hoosiers’ players. Class team. Great coaching. Ponds though is 5’9” 173lbs. That’s pretty f’n small. Can’t imagine a scenario where drafting him wouldn’t feel like a punch to the gut. Glad we’re not in the position to ever have to make that choice unless he falls to the 4th.

It's talked about plenty. I think FS is as big a need as NT. But I don't care how bad our CBs are, I'm not taking a 2nd or 3rd round undersized CB in the top 15 of the 1st round. Those days are long gone.
