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 ?

Pavia is a shorter version of Johnny Manziel only undrafted.

The Athletic Football Show’s Dave Helman believes Bills WR Skyler Bell could be “Ja’Marr Chase lite” in the NFL.
Taken by Buffalo with the 125th pick in the 2026 draft, Bell — a hyper-productive wideout at UConn — joins DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Keon Coleman in an underwhelming receivers room. Bell, Helman said, enters the NFL with a multifaceted skill set that is highly valued among most NFL front offices. “This is probably the most reckless thing I’ll say on this show,” Helman said. “This is Ja’Marr Chase lite. He’s a freak athlete, he’s explosive, but he’s very powerful and strong. And watching him, I was just like, obviously, he’s not Ja’Marr Chase ... but he does all that type of stuff. He can take it to the house. He can just body people out of the way. He can high point the ball. If I was trying to get Ja’Marr Chase’s skillset on late day two or even into day three, I’m all the way in on this guy.” Helman wasn’t along in his praise of Bell, who last season was second among all college wideouts in yards per route run. Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia said in March that Bell, 23, was close to a Round One prospect. The Bills took him late on the third day of the draft.
But you know, i was on his nuts n all
We will regret passing on him.

I am good with the Washington pick. Bell is small framed and is never going to break tackles. Not really great against press coverage as a result of his frame. Chase comparison may be a stretch. Washington has the three skill sets that will help Mendoza, he runs lightening fast, blocks very well and catches the ball extremely well. But either guy would have been fine for me but I know why they went Washington and I agree with the pick overall. Next year we can focus on Mendoza's number one target. And that timing will make sense because by then Mendoza will have the game speed down.BoKnows81 wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2026 10:36 am The Athletic Football Show’s Dave Helman believes Bills WR Skyler Bell could be “Ja’Marr Chase lite” in the NFL.

Agree on Washington and also we'll know a lot more during this camp about Thornton and Bech's future here. Spy drafted them with some sense of knowledge as to what they can (hopefully) become.Attyla wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2026 10:49 am I am good with the Washington pick.

Yea I'd take Bell 100 out of 100 times over Washington. WR usually gets the nod since their NFL lifespan is longer. I like Washington but his pass protection and fumbles worry me.Attyla wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2026 10:49 am I am good with the Washington pick. Bell is small framed and is never going to break tackles.

I know we're not running outside zone exclusively but another knock on Washington is that he's not ideal fit for itBoKnows81 wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2026 3:46 pm Yea I'd take Bell 100 out of 100 time over Washington.
