 Hard to say much about the next draft class this early, generally you need to watch at least a few games from the college season to get a good sense of the big name prospects and a vague outline of how the board will be in April. It's pretty useless to do a mock until both the college and NFL seasons are completely over. 

All I can really say is at this point, I think our needs will be : 

1. Young TE of the future (have been ignoring this for way too long)

2. C (Kalil is getting up there need to groom his replacement)

3. DE (even if Hall is good our DEs are all Old otherwise) , maybe even a double dip at DE

4. SS or FS or both (Adams is old, Coleman is good but we at least need better depth and a plan for successors for both of them)--

5. CB depth 

With the exception of  TE and a Center somewhere,  you can expect it to be a return to form for Gettleman and be a defense laden draft. Also be on the lookout for a power RB to replace stewart or at the very least be a good #2 behind McCaffrey for the future. 

Positions that should be good at/not drafted at :

1. DT

2. LB

3. QB

4. K

5. WR

Calvin Ridley or Dante Pettis please

Ridley and Funchess were both born in 1994.  That's crazy.

Safety or DE have to be the Round 1 pick.  Absolutely have to, unless Matt Kalil is a disaster and/or can't play football after this year, then LT.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
