2026 Draft - First Round - Thurs.4/23 - 5/8 pm

Unread post by RunOverByHubbard »

99% chance the Raiders start things off with doing what we all want them to do. Less than a 1% chance they trade the pick? Yep. There will be some interesting trades in the first round, including a possibility our new management trades up into the first round using the "extra" picks we have this year. But, I am expecting an evening of observing and anticipating rounds 2 & 3 tomorrow night.

Enjoy one of the best sports events of the year -- the NFL draft.

Well the times have certainly changed. I'm ecstatic that Fernando won't be there in Goodell's presence. Per Schefter his very first ever announcing of the first draft pick was our last #1.
No "Cooties" this time!

Dude was built like a greek god, bummer he couldn't play well. I love how all of our scrubs who get bounced from the league are forever Raider fans. The brand is strong.

They just did bold predictions for 1st round on NFL.Com and Steve Wyche predicted the Raiders will trade back into the 1st round, specifically for Denzel Boston. Im not sure i agree with the player but I do think we could see a trade back into the 1st round.

Zero chance we trade back. But maybe the Cardinals will.

Trade back into the 1st I said.

"Zero chance" is a 100% false statement. Why in the world would you think that?

I think Kubiak really likes Boston and I don’t think he will be there in the second. In the day 2 prediction thread I said Boston with a small trade up. If somehow he’s sitting there with the Hawks on the clock I think we trade up.

IF Dal can’t trade up for an Edge and comes calling again for Maxx would we do it? Wingo says Raiders and Dal are still discussing a trade. I don’t like Wingo and feel like since Maxx is all about the Raiders again they won’t trade him but imagine taking Mendoza/Vega/Boston out of the first round.

I'd still trade Maxx in a heartbeat but the Cowboys aint giving us two 1sts and they dont have a 2nd this year as of now.

But for me, I'd still trade him for #12 this year and a 2nd next year and fly him out 1st class.

The Miles Burris video above is pretty damn funny. I mean, clearly set up, but still funny. I just read that he is an actor now and, clearly, he is hitting the weight room.
