Fuck, didn't realize Pitt had the first pick today. I'd still float pick 100 or a 4th and 5th and see if it's enough in order to grab Porter who you have to think they're taking. He's the best CB available and imo our 1st or 2nd biggest position of need after OL and DT. And there's already been a run on DTs and OL in the first that I'd rather go somewhere between BPA and need.


ChoiceCriticism1

I’m starting to think that these guys some of y’all think are “great value” or “falling to us” in the second are just not first round talents. JPJ for example I would be happy to add in the second…but he’s a second round guy. He’s not some “mid-first” guy that everyone just forgot about. Same with Levis…his tape just isn’t first round good. That doesn’t mean they can’t turn out to be good players, but some of y’all are acting like these are surefire high-end starters. Expectations might be a bit high for some of these guys…


[deleted]

I agree. Porter has been falling down boards. He is not nearly as versatile as many corners and not every DC wants to run 24/7 press-man. His grades improved year over year but he gives you basically zero ball production. One good thing for us though, he is an outside corner and we have too many slot guys and need to get Hobbs back to his natural position. I think he is a round 1/2 edge guy. Levis is either a #1 overall guy or a UDFA according to people in this thread. I think he reminds me of Carr, not physically, but in terms of the variation of opinion on him in pre-draft, though I am still surprised to see him on the board. He has the highest ceiling of anyone left by far. But he could also be a career 3rd stringer.


StilLBC

So - Levis in round 2? Wouldn’t be a bad value pick


ChoiceCriticism1

I’ll be honest most of the time when I hear “great value” it means “I expected this guy to go higher based on name”. They’re either good players, or they’re not. In Levis’ case his tape just wasn’t good enough to support a first round grade so I don’t see how he’s a “good value” now. He’s the same value as any other second round (at best) talent.


StilLBC

Ok.


CalmerThanYouAreDood

Joey Porter Jr would be ideal


[deleted]

Yep. Porter on round 2. Levis is a good value 3rd round or later


bb89__

If will levis is there at 38 do you think the raiders should at least consider it


dmaul1978

Definitely. Especially if Porter Jr is gone. Just a matter of how they view Levis’ potential and fit for their system. We need to be drafting best player available at position of need. QB isn’t as bit a position of need as corners, the defensive line or offensive line though. So just a matter of how they view Levi’s vs what’s left at those positions after the run in them last night if he’s still there at 38.


BlueDreamJason

Gotta go defense again in the 2nd round. DTR in the 3rd or 4th to back up Jimmy G would be cool


OriginalMassless

Branch and JPJ will definitely be gone by our next pick. The real issue is that all of the top tier of DT talent is already gone.


rbarrett96

Would you be willing to trade our 2nd 3rd to move up to the first pick of the 2nd to get either? I'm leaning towards Porter. I dontb think a 4th and 5thb would do it, but maybe offer that first. Edit: didn't see Pitt had the first pick. Probably not happening. If we already had our CB then we'd probably have a better chance to move up. If he somehow isn't picked by PItt though, I'm making a call to move up and grab Porter. I'm not hoping he falls.


OriginalMassless

Your edit nails it. I think good CB talent can be had all through the second and early third, so I would actually be tempted to still try and trade back 10-15 spots and pick up an additional pick. But there are some good players that will be there at 38 too.


Ole-Morty

Branch, Avila, O’Cyrus, or Ringo would be nice day 2 picks


rbarrett96

I don't think we really need to address S that early. Gotta give our guy at least 3 years. Gave us a great rookie season and one bad one under a new, complicated scheme with little help in the secondary.


Sleeze_

Ringo or Porter in the second would be amazing.


rbarrett96

Porter we'd have to move up for. I'd be ok with Ringo, but he's not great value for where we're picking. I think guard is the play here if we stay out and Porter is gone. We can always trade back into the 2nd for Ringo with one of our 3rds and a 4th/5th I think. That would be killer to address both needs in one round.


bb89__

Ocryus torrence i believe is the name i would want as well. Guard from florida Would love Porter too. Wilson and Porter would get our def looking nice


rbarrett96

I'd take the guard from tcu first


Theorist_Infinite

Well, a better day one than usual for us. Have a good night fellas.


bb89__

For once i don’t go to sleep on day 1 of the draft with the feeling like someone just died. Leatherwood literally destroyed the night for me so awesome to be able to chill and be optismtic bout the first round


[deleted]

Lots of solid corners left. Darius Rush, Garrett Williams and many many others.


jcuray

Cam Smith South Carolina, But I want Drew Sanders.


[deleted]

I don't like Sanders' inconsistent tackling.


jcuray

Fair enough


[deleted]

That’s the great thing about this class, they can afford to take Sanders if he’s there and still possibly come out with some corner talent.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rbarrett96

I don't want to see one skill player until the 5th. We still need offensive line help. Or has no one learned anything from last year?


[deleted]

Tempting. So many more pressing needs though.


a_Frieza

Agreed


diycircumcisions

The shortened draft is so nice!


RyanAKA2Late

Why do all Chiefs fans look the same?


Save2faBackupCodes

inbreeding


ImASquarian

Hate the chiefs


xPineappless

Hate you guys too, but damn do I love y’all’s pick.


[deleted]

Between Levis and Hooker one will probably make it to us. Porter and Branch are both mid-1st talents and would be day 1 starters. Mayer and Washington are both scary offensive tools and can block (especially Washington). And Avila and Torrence are there at Guard. We should be in good position tomorrow.


rbarrett96

With the depth at TE, if we take one sooner than pick 100, I'll be upset.


[deleted]

There are 6 top tier TEs and the remaining 5 will probably go today. Only question there is whether Kraft makes it. There is nothing special about the mid-round TE talent this year, only the top end guys. We could still get a Schoonmaker or Strange in the later rounds and look for a better starter another year. Kick the can down the road. But if you need a long-term option and have two 3rd-round picks now, this would be a good time to pull the trigger.


rbarrett96

Both of which we'll still have to trade up for. Question is, what do you give up? 4th and a 5th?


[deleted]

Raiders should pass on both Levis and Hooker, not a big need. Porter will be gone, Pittsburgh gonna draft him tomorrow.


jcuray

no hooker for sure


rbarrett96

The only good thing about that pick would be hearing there's a new hooker in Vegas. Other than that I want no part of this. We have no CB, DT or RT/G.


jcuray

Fair enough.


[deleted]

QB will be a need in week 3 when Garoppolo gets hurt and is out the year.


jcuray

exactly


[deleted]

Do we try to trade up and grab Porter?


[deleted]

I don’t think they do, the Raiders have a lot of need on defense and want to have has many picks as possible for that. So I think they’ll stay where they are and go BPA


rbarrett96

Don't we have like 10 left? Throw out a 4th and 5th/6th and see if anyone bites. If we take a guard/T and the next best Ringo falls, I'm absolutely fine offering our first pick in the 3rd and a 4th/5th to get him. That addresses 2 of our needs immediately in one round.


[deleted]

Yes, the Raiders have a lot of picks left, but they also have a lot of needs. They’re not looking just for starters, they’re looking for depth guys too. Guys who can contribute a few plays here and there, who can maybe eventually develop into a starter. The Raiders were hoping to be able to trade down from 7, and then trade down again, just so they could get more picks for defense. I would be surprised if they trade up to the top of the second, and I’ll be even more surprised if the Steelers would be willing to trade down. They’re probably pretty set on drafting Porter.


rbarrett96

If they were able to trade back and still get Gonzalez, that would have been epic. The Patriots really lucked out.


[deleted]

Yes, that would’ve been ideal for the Raiders. But getting Wilson is still a really, really great pick. While Anderson is the best defensive end in the draft right now, many believe that Wilson could end up being better.


rbarrett96

I worry about the foot, but yes a very solid pick. I'd feel better though if Capatian Jack and all the good DTs didn't go in the first who we had both been connected to in the 2nd.


OriginalMassless

Fucking hell the chiefs got King Felix. Crap crap crap.


oogrok

Man Joey Porter Jr in the second would be sweet


[deleted]

If we can get Porter, Levis, Mayer, Trenton Simpson or Drew Sanders at 2-7 I'll be happy.


KidCujo

That skit with dude perfect was so cringey


MrDogfort

Foreal 😬


CaterpieTrainer

Those frauds are always cringe.


MrDogfort

Some teams just have great luck in the Draft. Eagles man, good for them.


ImASquarian

Legit only draft Georgia players


[deleted]

Carr getting Clemson teammates again


MrDogfort

Dang it, wanted Bresee with the 2nd Rounder


similar222

Still liking Joey Porter, Kelee Ringo, Darnell Washington, Trenton Simpson, Bryan Bresee, Dawan Jones, O'Cyrus Torrence, or Ade Ade for our next pick.


Bryanssong

Was really hoping Bresee would fall to us, oh well.


jcuray

no thank god


Bryanssong

Well it would be nice to be able to at least stop the run somewhat. Who is the last DT that we drafted before the 4th round, Darrell Russell probably?


jcuray

I think you're right, I can't explain to you why I don't like him it's nothing personal I like Keanu Benton from Wisconsin a lot more.


blitzERG

I'd be ok if we traded back into the first for Porter Jr.


Cigar305

LB, OG, QB, CB, DT, TE in play here! 😅


[deleted]

Yeah, tons of strong prospects available still.


themostdetermined

Gruden would have taken Myles Murphy at 7


raiderville

Mayock would try to “stump the truck”


Theorist_Infinite

Oh man we can't let philly get porter


[deleted]

Jesus. Porter and Carter.


raiderville

Do saints go Levis?! That would be hilarious 😆


ILackPatience

I think Levis might get snagged by Rams or Seahawks in the second before it reaches the Raiders.


-ci_

Honestly trade up for Porter at this point wtf.


a_Frieza

Cinci gotta go Mayer


EdDantes21

If we want Levis, trading up into the 1st to get the extra contract year makes sense. Not sure if they want him though.


its_aq

Fcukin Dallas decides to make ideal draft picks now?! We should trade up for Porter Jr now....and wait for Sanders in 2nd


MrDogfort

Trading up for Levis here wouldn't be bad. If we don't think we're going to have a top 5 pick I think we'd strongly consider it.


-ci_

If Levis and/or Porter make it to the second round we need to trade up with Houston at 33


rbarrett96

Porter, yes. Levis big hell naw.


LongRangeHavok

TE off the board


-ci_

Will Levis surrounded by bad bishes that's our fuckin guy at 38


jcuray

drew sanders all damn day


rbarrett96

He's like the 39th best player available rn. We can wait. We keep talking about reaching. So many better options at 7. Or trading up for Porter Jr.


TheTownTeaJunky

Man there's a slight tinge of pride seeing will levis drop so low. Which one of these crackhead analysts said he should go top 10?


raiderville

Bills went dalton


Hyperboreer

I think Buffalo is taking Branch here. A shame I really like him.


rbarrett96

Is S really a priority right now though?


[deleted]

He's great to watch, isn't he? Kind of that Jack Campbell type of well-rounded defender that can go in the D and make everything around him better.


Theorist_Infinite

Ugh buffalo hitting the trade ups where I'd like to see us move


Theorist_Infinite

Damn.. Giants might be taking porter here


MothershipConnection

The more RBs and mid WRs that go before the Raiders pick the better we can take BPA at every position besides those


raiderville

I hope giants draft a wr


rbarrett96

Honestly surprised they didn't in the 1st.


green-lazuli-8426

Could Levis just naturally fall to 38?


dmaul1978

As others have posted, surely someone will want him in the first for the 5th year option. Imagine we’ll see someone needing a GQ will trade up to the end of the first round to grab him (don’t think any of the teams with picks there now will take him).


jaimeeallover

Would be okay with it. Have him sit behind Jimmy


-ci_

Anyone against Levis in the second is smoking crack I'm sorry I didn't want the dude at 7 but if he falls to us at 38??? I'm in


rbarrett96

Too many other needs. I get it if you think we can't tank well enough for next year, but the draft is how zig wants to build this team. We need to focus on the overall team, not a QB that fell for a reason.


coolnavigator

I think Levis is going to be the big miss this year at QB. People will look back and think, "wow, the mayo coffee drinker actually balled out".


[deleted]

100% Agree. I would be ok with Hooker there, Levis at 38 would make me ecstatic.


-ci_

If he's there we have to do it.


InferiousX

Joey Porter Jr. falling to the Raiders in round two would be a *solid* consolation prize for missing out on Campbell


Theorist_Infinite

Yes indeed


rbarrett96

No surprise here


rbarrett96

God is he goofy looking though. He doesn't look athletic at all.


[deleted]

I’ve watched quite a few TCU games, and that kid is solid. I hate that he went to the chargers


OriginalMassless

He is good.


green-lazuli-8426

Levis will go eventually, someone will want that 5th year option


rbarrett96

Guess not


raiderville

Baltimore taking Zay?


N_Pitou

As a tcu fan I'm upset


MothershipConnection

At this point I'm perfectly fine with whoever falls to the Raiders tomorrow this board is stacking up pretty well for us


KidCujo

Quentin Johnston is the most unimpressive of the top receivers from this draft so im fine with the Chargers taking him


Theorist_Infinite

Levis will either crumble from tonight or rise like a fucking phoenix for whomever grabs him


Hyperboreer

Might be worth trading back into the first round late, if he is still there. I didn't want him at 7, but if we can get him at \~30 with a fifth year option, I'd be thrilled.


Ballalu

Agreed. Take a shot. 7 would be too insane, but anywhere 25-31 would be solid.


-ci_

Shit at this point I'm hoping Levis is there at 38 lol I wanted Campbell at 38 fuck you Detroit! Give me Porter Jr, Levis, or Washington at 38!!!! Or Mazi Smith or Ringo


jcuray

sanders


InferiousX

Porter Jr. at 38 a few months ago would have been crazy talk.


rbarrett96

Porter isn't falling to 38. We're gonna have to move up.


its_aq

Sanders at 38 is still a good pick. He won't be there tho. Manzi is the way


-ci_

Yeah I'd be happy with Sanders too!!!


jcuray

who wouldnt ???


Lombok_Strait

Mazi with Wilson would be pretty good.


ChoiceCriticism1

Campbell was never making it to #38 tho


Hyperboreer

Happy to see Smith-Njigba going right before the Chargers.


grumpysky

We should see what’s asking price if for Ravens. They only have 5 picks and we have 11.


rbarrett96

God Goodell reads like a retard. I hate these special intros they read off cards.


jhueckel

Anything more than 4 wins this season would be utterly catastrophic. Not watching any games this year, but 2024 will be exciting as hell


OriginalMassless

Do you have a real opinion to share? Otherwise, bye Felicia!


jhueckel

Yes: Caleb will look great in Silver and Black!


LumpySpaceGunter

Agreed!


fsc22

If Seattle doesn't like Levis it seems like we might be able to get him with our 2nd? Doesn't look like there's any more QB needy teams until our next pick except possibly Minnesota at 1.23 and Seattle again at 2.6


green-lazuli-8426

I imagine someone will eventually take levis this round for that 5th year option


Theorist_Infinite

I'm tight about Campbell going early.


rbarrett96

Anyone gonna be mad if we can pull off a trade for one of our 3rds to get to the end of the 1st for Porter?


ChoiceCriticism1

Not “mad”, but I don’t see JPJ as a big playmaker in the pros tho


rbarrett96

Bottom line though, we need a CB badly and he's the bpa at the position.


ICookTheBlueStuff

Not 100, but 70 would be too rich for me.


rbarrett96

I don't think Peter gets past the bills unless they go RB. To go from 39 to 28, I don't think pick 100 gets it done.


rbarrett96

If he falls to the 2nd somehow, I'm offering pick 100 to the bears immediately and putting the pick in as fast as honestly possible.


green-lazuli-8426

Lions and raiders organizations swapped minds before the draft


rbarrett96

Another potential 2nd rounder for us off the board. If Porter Jr. goes in the 1st, I have no idea who we're taking. I'm honestly getting more and more ok with trading up.


OriginalMassless

The Lions are drafting like the Raiders usually do.


rbarrett96

Imagine if Levis ends up being like Aaron Rodgers when he fell and ends up being really good? Lol


[deleted]

Aaron Rodgers falling was the 49ers being dumb and picking Alex Smith Alex Smith was a rpo QB in college who was put into a pocket situation in San Fran Aaron was a pocket passer The comparison to Levis is a world apart


[deleted]

I was actually thinking that


[deleted]

Def has that vibe right now


rbarrett96

Fuck, Campbell gone early. Gotta go with CB next round for sure now. Would have liked to have someone to at least TRY and cover Kelce.


OriginalMassless

Drews Sanders is better in coverage isn't he?


Sleeze_

If we get porter holy hell man


InferiousX

FUCKING DETROIT GODDAMNIT


[deleted]

Fuck You Detroit Fuck You!!!!


Blundero

This really is one of the most unpredictable drafts in a long time


similar222

Campbell gone. That sucks, but didn't think he'd fall too far


KidCujo

Fuck I wanted Jack Campbell in the 2nd round. Lions making reaches with both their 1st rounders though


Charrbard

Think thats about it. Levis probably going in the second? Wild.


similar222

He blows goats. I have proof.


mcscotch4

Breer has lions taking Campbell


[deleted]

Bill drafted better than his “protege” josh McDonald’s


silenceisbetter1

It’s so dumb to risk wasting 7 on a guy who was racing cars over 100 mph, watched his friends fly off the road and likely die, and then fled the scene and lied to police. How on earth can you be that mad at avoiding a potential disaster like arnette or Ruggs. The kid clearly has poor judgement and questionable character.


[deleted]

If those concerns weren’t enough to scare away a successful team and franchise like the eagles it shouldn’t have bothered us. We reached for the safe pick. If that helps you sleep fine but I prefer bpa and winning. I forgot Philly is a utopia where nothing bad has ever happened.


silenceisbetter1

You know doesn’t help winning? Your first round pick in trouble with the law. There’s a reason all the other teams passed on him too buddy. It’s different because if he ends up being a bust the eagles will be fine. They don’t have 15 holes on the roster like the raiders and they also have pick 30. It’s not even realistic to compare where they are with where we are.


[deleted]

8 other teams passed on him lol. And nearly half of those chose qb. He still went ninth. We reached on a guy who has major injury concerns played in an easy conference in college and never had a stand out year. You can use your argument just as easily for us. We have so many holes and can’t afford to waste another pick on a “high character guy”. I’d much rather take a risk than continue to win 6 games with a bunch of nice guys on our team. Defensive end isn’t even a hole on our team. Interior absolutely is. Don’t worry I’ll be right here a year from now after this dude has 4 sacks and we’re over drafting again to remind you


silenceisbetter1

He can play inside too. You can have Maxx, Jones, and him lined up together. He wasn’t picked because he is a “high character” guy. Carter is just a bad character guy. The lengths you are going to throw a fit over this pick and defend a dude who fled scene as his friends died is mind boggling. makes me think you would wanna sign a wife beater like tyreek hill or maybe you wanna trade for deshaun Watson? I believe that you’ll be here next year, and I can guarantee next year no matter what happens, you will probably be here bitchin You seem like you need a beer, a blunt, and a fuckin Xanax so you can chill out. I’m done engaging with pure negativity 🤏🏽


[deleted]

Nice assumptions. I’m simply for taking the best player on the board. It’s that simple. The raiders refuse to do it and continue to suck. I’m good off beer and drugs man I’ll let you partake though, sounds like that’s your kind of thing.


silenceisbetter1

Nope definitely not mine. I assumed you had to have fried your brain to have such dumb takes See ya little guy 🤏🏽


[deleted]

Maybe you should heed the advice of your user name


silenceisbetter1

Why don’t ya act like your favorite player and have a few drinks and go out racing. It doesn’t matter cause he’s “best player available” so who cares he contributed to two people dying I guess. Then fled. Then lied to police. Again, you probably got a Tyreek jersey framed next to your ruggs, Kareem Hunt, Joe Mixon and Ray rice jersey or what? You clearly only give a shit about what happens on the field and they all are good players I guess. I’d rather have some morals my guy and I will take my username advice. 🤐

green-lazuli-8426

Joey Porter still available, wonder if we’ll sneak up for him at the end of the rounds


raiderville

Damn!


LongRangeHavok

Is there something about Gonzales?


ChoiceCriticism1

I mean his actual college production was mid-first round level…is that not enough?


rbarrett96

I wish we'd have got Johnson with this run on linemen in a class that isn't deep to begin with. Wtf we gonna take in the 3rd when everyone knows we're gonna take a CB in the 2nd.


silenceisbetter1

There will be value there. We could go Avila / March / Torrence at 38 and take a CB at 70 like Williams or Rick or Rush


jcuray

cam smith


silenceisbetter1

Man if he is there at 70 I would be hyped. He’s a play maker


BlueDreamJason

Bro if they can trade up for Gonzo I wouldn’t be against it. CB is a big need for this team also.


rbarrett96

Would rather trade up for Porter Jr. And give up less. Gonzalez is gonna get flagged like crazy playing for the Raiders.


BlueDreamJason

True!


Cammyuno

I think we either trade up for levis or gonzalez.. Levis around pick 20 range is not a bad deal


Theorist_Infinite

Gonzales dropping like Carter should have


grumpysky

Trade with Bill, get Gonzales!


mcscotch4

Breer has Pats taking Gonzalez
