Keep an eye on Taylor Price

(especially since the Raiders used a top-ten pick on a wideout last year), there's a receiver to keep an eye on as the draft approaches.

Taylor Price, who played for Peter King's alma mater. Pegged as a mid-round pick early in the process, we're told his stock is rising because he's one of the few high-end receiving prospects not dogged by character (Dez Bryant), injury (Demaryius Thomas), or size (Golden Tate) concerns.

I'd love to get him in the 3rd round. I have a feeling he is going to be this year's Donnie Avery and go early. However, I don't see him going before Bryant, Tate, Benn or Thomas. He could jump over Damian Williams and LaFell but not those first four.

Huge class of WR's this year, we have a good shot at getting a quality one in the 3rd round, and what is funny, I don't think picking one earlier with our 2nd round pick really gets us that more quality. :)

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
