NCOUGHMAN Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Let’s get crazy and think outside the box. No trade downs even tho I would. Anyways let’s go.  17) Nick Bolton / lb / mizzo -we need dogs and leaders who bring it. Not sold on kwit and dessie says I can draft a lb at 17 so boom. He can cover and play the run. 48) Creed Humphrey /iol/ okla -not sold on our guard or center depth. Instant starter for 5 years. Hudson is a huge loss. 79) Spencer Brown / ot / ni -since day 1 he’s been my guy in the 2nd wave of ot’s. Natural on the right side. Bookends secured. 80) Kellen Mond /qb / Tex a&m -need some new blood at qb can sit behind carr. Think mm gets traded before season is over. 121) Tyree Gillespie / s/ mizzo -nice sleeper safety who will push to start has great size and ability 162) Divine Deablo / s/ vt -more safety depth so bullet can kick rocks. D cord might can get the best out of him. 167) Elerson Smith /de/ ni -long de with sneaky speed also more depth at de 200) Jarrett Patterson / rb / buff -this guy is crazy and imo can complete the rb room  you know I’m crazy but roast away ps: no dt’s cause we signed about 5 in fa.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I don't even know if Bolton is a top 5 LB in this class for me. That being said, I think these are solid picks. Decent chance at least a few of these guys end up Raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And him and JOK are almost even for me with a slight nod to JOK. As NCOUGH said, I love that Bolton is a dog. And he’s well-rounded and confident he can play all three linebacker positions which is a rarity. Although he’s a true MIKE in the NFL. He probably goes in the first few picks of the 2nd Round, but he’s a player where it’s hard not to fall in love.  He’s also a player with great instincts. He’s never wrong on his reads, like literally never. Edited April 9, 2021 by BayRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like it. I've pounded the table for years for LB. Something I found interesting in Tafur's recent mailbag: Quote Why don’t the Raiders draft a signature alpha male linebacker? They have passed over the position for the longest time. When having to match up with Patrick Mahomes for the next decade, a playmaker chasing after him could be the difference needed. — Kenneth S. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … Nicholas Morrow. How Bradley uses Morrow could be one of the more interesting stories of training camp. Kwiatkoski might be in for a surprise. Bradley has always had great linebackers and leaders on that level. It won't surprise me to see him look at Kwaitkoski as a backup level player and try to upgrade that spot.

Reason for that is the coverage range Morrow brings over Kwit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I like the first round, but can not get around to taking 3 out of 4 Offensive players with our top 4 picks. I want us to draft D big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he’s the qb of the defense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 BPA is a myth.... there is no such thing. Teams draft the best player for their specific needs. Example, Gruden isn't take a WR at 17 if he's the BPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) i dont hate Humphrey and Spencer Brown picks at all (if we could guarantee that Brown will be available in the 3rd, then I'd be thrilled). But I just can't get behind the Bolton pick at 17. in this scenario, I'd much rather we take the best edge at 17, or trade back a few spots and end up with Moehrig or Grant Mond in the 4th would also be quite good (even though I like Carr, and have advocated for his extension) Edited April 9, 2021 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
