Looks like there's a lot of good players to start the 2nd round. 

Guice, Landry, Oliver, Jackson, Jefferson, Stewart, lots of ways we could go. 

I think I want Landry the most out of the guys you listed. Need another pass rusher

[BABYLON 5]

I wouldn't mind Guide but we really need some defense bad. I doubt Landry will be there when we pick but I will be really happy is we land him

[CaliforniaKid7]

Yes some great talent available tomorrow. 

 

1. Landry

2. Guice

3. Oliver  

for me

Guice, Landry, Jackson, Hurst, and Key(potential is there)

[BigD1123]

Those 3 or Hurst or even Jackson and I'd feel better about this draft.

[OG_C2X]

Landry                   
Hurst
Davis
Jackson
Oliver
Guice
Chubb
Chark
Averett

I would be excited about the first 3. I would really like the next 4. And I wouldn't be mad about the last 2. 

[Geezy]

Man, we need defense but if Guice is there at 41 wow, hard to pass up, he is the real deal. 

Rap mentioned we were trying to move up. I wonder who it was for and if our target was selected. We got a ton of ammunition to move up.

Still have our 2,3, 4, 3 5s, 3 6s...

[RaidersAreOne]

One thing I will say is it appears we care less about BPA and picked for need out of desperation. RT was arguably our biggest need and we most definitely "reached" for the #2 T in the draft.

Don’t be shocked if the Raiders strongly consider taking another tackle in the second round tomorrow. Gruden really, really wants to upgrade the position.

Michael Silver tweeted this not sure if its been shared here, but I am one of the few Raider fans on Twitter that he hasn't blocked lol

 

Reading this made me sad. Taking two OT's early on in the draft when its considered to be a terrible OT class doesn't seem to be the brightness move.

Defense Defense Defense 

 Maurice Hurst 

Harold Landry 

Josh Jackson 

Arden Key

This I can see happening over us actually taking someone we all believe they should take. I'm over getting my hopes up thinking they'll actually take the highly rated talent over some prospect only they see has more upside.

Taking Miller over James or Edmunds??? What an f'ing joke of a staff. Carr and Mack is about the only thing holding my fandom of this team at the moment.

This is the absolute worst outcome I could imagine for the 1st round. We passed on Minkah, Vea, Edmunds and James for Miller who is such an unbelievable reach and Bryant. This is extraordinarily desperate and reaks of Gruden wanting to win now by over reaching to fill the biggest hole (RT) and giving himself another weapon on O regardless of the risk involved. Reggie has had questionable draft picks over the past few years, but one thing I admired about him was his long term view. I worry that this is Gruden's desperation to having a winning season this year rather than building things up patiently to have lasting success.

Im not usually this negative but I'm struggling to see any positives from this.

man..... you might be right

[oakdb36]

Go get Hurst.

[riceman80]

1st night of the draft and Miller already sucks before he's played a down, Gruden is a moron before a single game, and Reggie is a terrible GM again. The draft cracks me up.

For real tho, some of yall need to burn one and chill. ?
