2026 Draft - Raiders & all teams (April 23-25)
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 ?

Already a home run draft with Mendoza 99.99% locked in.
Would love a run stuffer in the 2nd but I do wonder if Spytek would be tempted with Boston or perhaps McNeil-Warren if available or wanting to be aggressive to trade up to within reason.
Markel Bell would be a nice mid round pickup and one wonders if Mendoza will be joined by fellow Hoosiers (Black, Fisher, Kamara perhaps?)
In any case, love the draft and all the different permutations so bring it on!!!

I'm liking the fact that Mendo is not going to the draft. Show's he not into all the fakery and flash.
Plus he is showing good sense in not wanting to hug Goodell (eeewwwwww)
PS why can't Goodell just shake hands?

Why am I not surprised he would say something like that?. The more he speaks, the more he resembles Skip Bayless.

You always know when the Raiders do something right because the media comes up with all sorts of stupid bullshit without any logic to make us look bad
Mendoza not attending the draft was made into something bigger than it was & it’s a nothing burger, i cannot remember anything being brought up about it when Lawrence or Walker did it
The media hates it cause they can’t laugh at us for doing something stupid so they’ve tried to make it like there are huge red flags about Mendoza game or his straight laced personality & i absolutely love it a 1000%

Good question...shaking hands in different ways or even the "man hug" I see a lot today, can be a bit awkward when you greet another guy for the first time.

I mean, there's no way of knowing which type of greeting they prefer or are used to and vice versa. For example, I'm sure that most folks on here have probably intended to only shake the other guy's hand but instead he grabs your and then pulls you into close to him. And maybe you think, "Hey, is this guy just being friendly, or is he hitting on me?"...again, "awkward".
FWIW, I give this post a "creepy factor" of 6 out of 10).
