Now that the NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, it’s time to dive right back into the mock draft madness. Version 1.0 of my mock draft was absent of trades; however, this version includes deals, thanks to the excruciating wait from pick No. 19 to No. 80. This seven-round beast, like it’s predecessor,
Raiders Mock Draft 2.0: ‘Trade’-craft
In your scenario I can absolutely see us taking Hurts at 27 just to get that 5th year option.
The opportunity is there at 59 to get a great player, especially with all the depth at WR.
Raiders won’t take a LB in the first round given they invested in that position via FA. They have a glaring need at CB, which is just as important as WR. Raiders will take a CB in the first round.
In addition, Raiders most likely take Ruggs over Jeudy, if both are there (which I think will be the case, since I don’t think Lamb makes it to pick 12)
Agreed. I was eyeing a CB at 27, but 5 CBs went off board in 1st round and when I got to pick again at 27, all the CBs left were “reaches”.
I think there’s a possibility that the Raiders draft CB Henderson with their 12 pick. They have to realize the chances of him falling to 19 is extremely remote. That leave 19 to draft a WR say Jefferson or trade down as discussed. I for one would be in favor of this move if Mayock has a grade on him similar to the ones he gave M. Lattimore or D. Ward. It’s pretty telling that the area left untouched during FA is CB..we’ll see.
