Really happy with this draft in a few different ways. One no picks left me scratching my head saying wtf.devilraid316 » Sat Apr 27, 2024 3:54 pm
For me what set the whole draft up was a team doing what the Raiders typically would do and draft the wrong guy. The Donkeys selecting Bo Nix, helped the Raiders draft a hell of a tight end that was projected go as high as 6. They got him at 13.LayneStaley » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:00 pm
Seems like we got ball players to me. I feel more confident with this draft than almost any other I can remember. Seems we are building the team the correct way.DSOTM » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:04 pm
Pretty solid draft overall. While I’m not a fan of drafting Bowers seeing how we moved up last year to get Mayer I’m at least glad they didn’t reach for a guy at 13.haji81872 » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:06 pm
I just love the fact we didn't panic. We valued our picks. I have no clue if we ever had someone we wanted selected before us, but they definitely had plan B and C and stuck to their board. Our picks went up there quick everytime.Be_Easy_25 » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:12 pm

I was worried that we would trade the kitchen sink for a QB. Even though I would have loved Daniels in Vegas, there were too many holes that even a good QB couldn’t make up for.Hellbound » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:17 pm
My favorite part was not selling the farm for a qb, letting the draft play out and having a legit top 5 talent fall to you because of qb fomo. Kept the picks and built up some very much needed depth across the roster. Now all that we can do is wait to see who pans out and who doesn'tJune510 » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:20 pm
If you couldn't grab one of top 5 QBs none were worth drafting IMO. I would've wanted to trade back if it was possible to acquire more picks but, it may not have been an option.Amish Cabal wrote Sat Apr 27, 2024 3:32 pm:The only area of need we didn't address in this draft was QB, but it wasn't in the cards and I didn't think it would be. We got some great value players from 1st pick to the last. No reaches IMO. Time will tell, but I like it.
I especially love what we did with the oline. I feel much better about that group now.

I give it an A. We got weapons and utility players that we can design plays around. We have nasty oline players and situational defensive players. I love this draftBoJacksonRules » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:30 pm
According to Drafttek only 2 of our selections were drafted were reaches and one of those was only -6 (ranking-where selected). Hopefully a lot of us and draft sites just missed on Glaze, because he’s the only player that was drafted way before his projected ranking.Scarpariello » Sat Apr 27, 2024 4:55 pm
I’m very happy with the draft. Everyone is unsure about Glaze but they must have really liked him on a consensus basis to grab him earlier than he would have gone. Have to trust their analysis. Bowers is maybe 1 of 5 guys in the draft that has the potential to be an elite game changer. I’m happy they had the balls to pull the trigger on him. I really liked the pics today. They got a mix of upside guys and flat out production guys. I really am happy that they can identify the types of players they want and execute a cohesive plan. This is new after the last 20 years!
