    ...I know some of you follow the NFL and have favorite teams and may have your sights on tomorrow's draft and may have certain players in mind to fill your team's needs.

    ...I've been a Raider fan for nearly as long as I've been a Yankees fan and the Raiders have done well drafting players in recent years and IMO, they need to address their defense as well as RB. And personally I hope their first 2 or 3 picks all come from my state of Georgia...With pick #10 in the first round I think they should draft linebacker Roquan Smith and then somehow snag Sony Michel and Nick Chubb with their next 2 picks.



    ...feel free to add your own draft picks for your own teams.

    I'd love to see both DE-Bradley Chubb and RB-Nick Chubb on the Raider's. If they can't land Nick, I'd hope to see Bo Scarborough at AL- RB, Chubb over Bo-

    It's a tough call B. Chubb DE-NC St,- or Roquan Smith OLB- I'd take Roquan over Bradley in a heart beat, 1st pick?? imo would be smarter move, Smith is much faster side to side, and would complement Khalil Mack stuffing holes, than a DE would be. Hell, let's take 'em all....

    other possibles, IF they don't land the aforementioned:
    Minkah Fitzpatrich AL-Safety, would/should be a lights out Safety imo.
    Vita Vea WA-DT, could help plug the inside, even tho' Justin Ellis makes a DT pick seem improbable...
    Tremain Edmunds VT-LB? nah-meh... take Roquan in a heart beat.

    Give Gruden a draft or 2, and he'll have a Defensive Ass Kicking Monster. We know Gruden will not settle for mediocrity. T/Raiders are the only Team in all of Caly worth talking about. It's an effing shame Vegas is calling....

    I'll get back on this post, I've yet to really look deep at this years draft

    That's my thinking on R. Smith.

    Fitzpatrick is a fine player too.

    ...the only reason they traded away the #10 pick was because the damned Bears stole the guy the Raiders were gonna pick.

    I’ve been a die hard Giants going back when Yankee Stadium was their home turf........
    really miss those days......this Giants’ team is caught between a rock and a hard place.
    Getting a premier RB was a no brainer. Now they need to get OL picks; otherwise,
    any RB will have a tough time getting ground yards.
    Unfortunately, the Giants have many needs and not enough picks in this draft.

    The Giants made the obvious pick and got a monster RB.

    Now that I've had time to digest missing out on drafting Roquan Smith, I'm OK with drafting Miller, a possible franchise OL man to protect Carr...not to mention that when I woke this morning I discovered that the Raiders flipped that extra draft pick they acquired from Arizona and traded that pick to Pittsburgh in return for WR Martavis Bryant.

    Granted that Bryant had his issues in Pittsburgh but maybe a change of scenery will change that and considering the Raiders only gave up a extra 3rd round pick, they basically got Bryant for free.

    Carr throwing to Martavis Bryant and Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson...wow, that could be the most dangerous receiving trio in the NFL...all in all, smart moves by Jon Gruden and Reggie McKenzie.
