That would be a dream!!! But like others said, no way Styles gets out the top 7.

Also I do love DT K.McDonald &, highly doubt he makes it to the second round. I think he’s the top DT. He’s is massively underrated as a DT prospect. It’s him or Banks at DT1 in this draft.

At 16 off top of my head, I’d like Banks, McDonald, maybe Makai Lemon.

But as always, trade down for maybe a first next year is actually my preference by far. Then take Banks or McDonald later. Or Peter Woods. & also Lee Hunter at 36. Take two DTs! I been wanting this for years lol. I think most have. We need dominant dline. With the switch to 3-4, we need beef in the trenches. McDonald, Lee Hunter, with two of FA’s Khyiris Tonga (underrated), Rankins, Reader, Billings, D.Tomlinson (does he still have juice), that would be the makings of a really good DT rotation for a 3-4.

Anyway, just a couple thoughts atm. I gotta start doing more research on 1st rounders. I wasn’t doing much cause, Raiders weren’t in it after Mendoza. Draft just got more exciting

Edit:
Just saw after doing some research on Makai Lemon. He may have big time character red flags. So he might be off my board. Talent wise, I had him as my WR1 prospect this year till I heard this

Well now we can get who we want in the draft and the top center is now free with 8 million left over.

No on Lemon. Dude gives creep vibes.

Build the OLine thru FA, use draft for several D players,

Ravens pick trade down for a lower 1 and more picks preferably a second 2 if at all possible
Obtain a potential second 2 trade down again and continue rebuilding thru draft

OT Lomu, S Thieneman or DE Bailey. Or trade down into 20s for Lemon. My first thoughts. If Bailey drops I'd be thrilled.

Charlie Campbell mock has Raiders taking Carnell Tate WR Ohio St

After the 1st pick and free agents Pierce and Lindenberg spend picks 14 though 7th round on defense along with 80 million in cap.

Huh?????

Do you guys think Vega will be there at 14?

The guy is a beast!

Still too early, I think. FA will shift things and a few more Pro Days might as well. But certainly BPA no matter what. OL, WR, anywhere on DEF.

This team should not be taking a WR with any first rounders.

Gotta get a skill player with a luxury pick. We need a no1 receiver

The DT/NT and big f’n DL positions looks to be the deepest position in this coming draft. I don’t know how much has been savvy planning by our FO or blessed luck, but what a perfect draft for switching to a 3-4 and building the DL.

There’s a decent depth of “good” LBs and Safeties, but the “great” ones are mostly gone by the mid 2nd. Not so great at CB.

FA will be telling. Whether we get the guys we go after or not will at least let us know what they think of the OL. I’ve got my fingers crossed that we aren’t as desperate for talent at the T/G spots than it seems.
