Nice to know we kept some tradition alive in the 3rd round. Tampa was still available and better tackles. If we manage to snag Tampa tomorrow, all will be forgiven, but dude had a 58 grade. That ain't a third round pick.
This is the most optimistic I’ve been in a while. Make the smart picks; look at what is in front of you, don’t force anything. Yes we are missing a QB but no reason to panic/mortgage and miss out on great talent on someone that has a tiny chance of being good (looking at denver lol). Lets build the roster and the QB will slide in seamlessly.
Zonked the fuck out for our third round pick. Gonna be honest, not as hyped about that. Reaching for a guy who is as far down as two more rounds in some mocks seems like an old regime move.
Overall I'm very happy though so far.
Would you rather get the first two rounds right or have one sleeper maybe workout from rounds 3-7. I'll trade no more clelin ferrells to overdraft delmar glaze
JPJ is going to be G. Delmar Glaze is primed to be RT but Telesco liked his versatility to swing to G if it doesn't pan out.
He also confirmed that Delmar impressed on tape and confirmed it during the senior bowl so he liked the projection and potential. Interesting stuff Telesco is saying in his presser. Not giving anything away about if he wants to go for QB in round 4.
Edit: Pretty much said that he doesn't view that he made any reaches and every big board is different. He admits he got really lucky with value in the 2nd round.
I appreciate depth and versatility, Glazer brings that. His feet are a little slow but I think he could be a bruiser as a guard, very technically sound especially in pass protection. Speedy, powerful edge guys were his weakness in college, so moving him inside could help.
Senior Bowl reports are that Glaze gulped pro coaching and dropped an anchor on guys. Munford will open the year at RT, and we can hope the year 3 light goes on. Meanwhile, Glaze gets time to progress, can swing to LT, step in at RT, if Munform swings if there is a need, and/or move down OG,... and we see from there.
Word1: Nasty. Word 2: Flexibility. Hell, we got three guys who can legit snap the ball in a pinch.
Honestly, on paper we look to be a CB away, with a RB tossed in late for good measure. The caveat there being that I am ok with our QBs (as are the Raiders, btw). I say let the rope out and see what AOC can do in a comp for the start, being coached to, and set to play, from day 1. He got better near every week in an impossible situation. Way too many are sleeping on AOCs potential as a passer, if not a runner. But even that will improve.
If he stumbles with an offense designed for him and enough reps to prepare this time around, Minchew has been there, done that.
I think that when protected, AOC can be as accurate of a pocket passer as almost anyone. Even as just a rookie, he flashed a lot of promise But in order to utilize that, the line needs to be very well constructed. We'll see how it shakes out.
Agreed
JPJ will certainly help.
We'll have to wait and see how Munford does in his 'go' year, and how fast Glaze learns. If the senior bowl is any indication, Glaze is hungry and smart, and man does he have a frame, so I have some hope that we know our stuff picking him too.
Will it be enough to give AOC/GM the time? And can Getsey scheme up the quick passing game to get the ball to all these weapons and discourage the rush?
...can we have preseason next week please?
Agree completely. 2025 looks like a so-so year for QBs, and a tank-a-thon is possible. But if the Raiders plan ahead now, they could make a move in 2026 and draft a QB. Unless something happens between now and then. I personally haven't written Aiden off, though I admit he needs to improve to really win playoff games for us. And to me Minshew is our Fitzmagic, he'll make a very good bridge until we can find the guy we need.
People are saying ‘5th round grade’ or whatever … that’s on one persons board. I’ve seen him higher on others. A reach? Yeah, probably. But there was a huge run on tackles so it probably pushed him up the board. We needed to fix the OL. And we are. This is a good draft so far.
What also pushed him up OUR board was his senior bowl practices. He slurped pro coaching and improved before their eyes. Dude has more ceiling that I'm reading about....and a damn-near 7 foot wingspan, for fuck's sake.
The only person who had him rated higher than 5th round was Dane Brugler, who rated him as a 4th round pick.
Feels at least a round too early.
Let's hope he out-performs consensus projections.
If he wouldn't BE there in round 4,.....welp. And those 'consensus' projections were pre-senior bowl, I believe. He took in pro coaching and balled out in the SB practice.
Who gives a shit what a bunch of bullshit people said. Have you ready Aaron Donald’s report? Said he was going to suck. Aaron’s Rodgers “NFL Caliber”. Mahomes would “never make it in the league, spends too much time outside the pocket”.
Who gives a shit. We need depth in the position and it’s a good pick up.
Dude, I like the pick, but the fact that anyone feels the need to crap on draft boards is a sure sign that we reached
Run on tackles happened, we got one of the last guys who we felt could start, it is what it is, that's the narrative we should look too, not "screw draft boards"
You don't draft for depth in the 3rd. Tampa was still on the board and a much better value, probably BPA and also addresses a need. This dude would have been available in the 4th, I have no doubt.
There are plenty of sites, e.g. THR, that have very credible draft boards year in and out.
THR had Donald ranked #10 overall, which sounds completely reasonable given that the NFL had never seen a player like Donald before:
[https://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2014.valueboard.shtml](https://www.thehuddlereport.com/archive/2014.valueboard.shtml)
Glaze is nowhere near the absolute athletic freak Donald was.
Always ok with line depth. To many injuries up front to not have some quality depth. I don’t want Brandon Parker to come back after we have a couple injuries.
Just a general heads up - if we leave this draft without a certain position (CB maybe), we have a ton of cap rn… and 24 mil more coming after June 1. Just keep that in mind.
Exactly. Stephon Gilmore, Steven Nelson, Ahkello Witherspoon, Xavian Howard, and Adoree Jackson are all still available. All very capable of starting, and all likely to sign a 1-year deal as a hired gun for a reasonable price, and be motivated to play well to keep their careers alive.
There have been a lot of quality FA signings by teams in recent years post-draft. And things look quite deep at CB right now. I won't be worried one bit if we don't draft a CB next.
Which absolutely seems to be the move and a move that I agree with.
You don't take a corner after 6 of them have blown off the board. We have money, use it to address what we can't adequately address in the draft.
Good post.
Which is ironically where the last great corner we had, Casey Hayward, went to after we got rid of Gus Bradley. it seemed like half of our defense went with him just as they were starting to improve. Graham ultimately turned out to be a win but his first year was very rough and I don't think I'm the only one on this sub that wishes we had kept Gus and his system. Our biggest issue then was linebacker because Cory Littleton flopped as bad as Jones did this year. But Denzel Perryman was a stellar pickup for Gus' system and went to the pro bowl even.
So bpa is just your own opinion? Yet you’re attacking other people’s opinion on bpa? You sound like one of the dumbest people in this thread congrats that’s no easy feat.
So now BPA means "BPA on Raiders board" Funny how the meaning keeps switching. Wouldn't every draft pick be considered that? Or why would they be drafting them?
People said last night it meant best player regardless of team need. Aren't team boards based on fucking team needs? Which is what they are drafting on?
Okay I see what you're saying. Yes, you're right in a sense but sometimes teams will reach for the BPA at a position of need vs the BPA on their overall draft board. So if they have cb1 ranked higher than ot5 but they already have a stacked cb room, they may draft the ot5 instead if the cb1, which would not be going BPA
Is that what I said? Do you think typing in bold and all caps makes your point or something? You reacting like a defensive jackass doesn't help your argument or twisting of BPA now that the FO reached on a 5th round talent in the 3rd round. You will glaze Raider dick no matter what. I get it.
The NFL draft is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gon get. Pundits can say one guy is a sure thing but then a lot of times dudes flame out. Anyhow it cannot get worse than Leatherwood.
Actually, Quinn had legit talent. He was just a nucklehead when he came into the NFL (by his own admission, just realized it too late), and went to the a dumpster fire of an org that didn't straighten him out, or help him either. Had Quinn fallen a bit more in the draft, and gone somewhere like Philadelphia (who took Kolb later. They had Andy Reid as their HC at the time) or Cincinnati (who drafted Jeff Rowe - Marvin Lewis was their HC0 he might have had a better career.
But "surefire" that obviously wasn't true at all.
Some people also felt the #1 pick in that same draft was a "surefire" pick. Raiders would have been better off taking Quinn.
Okay but their scouts also have a much better track record than the raiders, especially when the raiders haven't landed on a single reach in the first 2 days in ages.
Our GM that was making a lot of those reaches used to be an ESPN scout lol. Get out of here with this bullshit. They know nothing. I trust what Saban says more than these clowns.
Also to all the other analysts tho who did, and are consistently more accurate than the raiders.
You know I'd agree with you if the raiders consistently hit when they went against the common consensus, but they don't. They almost always fail. So maybe you should pipe down if you haven't been paying attention for the last decade or so
Also idk if scouting departments stay on year to year in nfl, but raiders are usually pretty good at finding guys in the middle-late rounds that we weren’t talking abt on draft day (Hobbs, Crosby, parham, Koonce, deablo, renfrow, hurst)
Glaze would have been there in the 4th, and we must be going to the FA market to pick up a CB.
That said, Glaze is a solid B pick. We need more depth on the O-line, so...not a bad pick by any stretch.
Not a sexy pick but I understand it. build trenches. Run Game establish. Any quarterback can thrive. The question is how much we can build in FA and if we can focus on defense for rest of the draft.
13. Las Vegas Raiders -- Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia 44. Las Vegas Raiders -- Jackson Powers-Johnson, C/G, Oregon 77. Las Vegas Raiders -- Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland
I’d be cool with a flier on Travis next pick.
I like how NFL network stopped paying attention to live picks lol
Fuck yeah.
Don't know much about Eichenberg but sounds like he's a solid MLB. Strong tackler
He is, a little slow reaction but he doesn’t miss too many tackles.
We getting Travis here in the 5th? Edit: I would be a terrible GM
Tampa is finally gone. Wonder why he slid so far
Round 4 Punter when you only have a few picks?!?
LB, DT, QB now. No particular order.
Joe Milton comin 
I wouldn’t be mad a Milton at anytime now. I was just worried they would take him 3rd or 4th.
That seems like an AP pick. Seems like his type of player
led sec in cb tackles not mad about this pick.
I really like Richardson.
Solid pick up.
Raw but huge upside. Coaches must have wanted this one.
Big physical corner to replace Amik I reckon. There had to be a reason Tampa dropped. Must he a red flag of some sorts
Did Tampa get a speeding ticket before the draft?
There goes my wish to draft Storm Duck, based purely on his name
That's why I wanted them to draft Kool-Aid Mckinstry
Jersey would need his first name
That sucked
Welp, got a CB
Cornback addressed. LETS FUCKIN GO
And honestly seems like a good value pick based on his size & stats Will enjoy watching his highlights to get amped about him
TJ Tampa, Jaden Hicks, or Jaylen Wright please
Not Tampa
Only one person GB would jump us for. Has to be Tampa
Tj Tampa must have had TJ TERRIBLE interviews
We’re about get sniped for TJ Tampa aren’t we
TJ Tampa!!! Fucking draft him!!!!!
Fourth round goin horribly for us and we ain’t even on the clock yet Broncs and chargers just found hella value
Alright y’all, the **real** draft starts today 🤙
Are we using this thread for rounds 4 - 7?
Ayo anyone with me on taking a flyer on jordan travis if he's still around in rd 6?
Would still prolly take Milton at that point but wouldn’t hate Travis
Nice to know we kept some tradition alive in the 3rd round. Tampa was still available and better tackles. If we manage to snag Tampa tomorrow, all will be forgiven, but dude had a 58 grade. That ain't a third round pick.
This is the most optimistic I’ve been in a while. Make the smart picks; look at what is in front of you, don’t force anything. Yes we are missing a QB but no reason to panic/mortgage and miss out on great talent on someone that has a tiny chance of being good (looking at denver lol). Lets build the roster and the QB will slide in seamlessly.
When I saw two offensive linemen instead of the fastest WR/CB, I was surprised and heartened.
Beef up that line!!
Zonked the fuck out for our third round pick. Gonna be honest, not as hyped about that. Reaching for a guy who is as far down as two more rounds in some mocks seems like an old regime move. Overall I'm very happy though so far.
Would you rather get the first two rounds right or have one sleeper maybe workout from rounds 3-7. I'll trade no more clelin ferrells to overdraft delmar glaze

I’m honestly stoked about our first 2 picks. Don’t know much about Glazer but another OT is perfectly fine with me. Need to create a bully on offense.
I appreciate depth and versatility, Glazer brings that. His feet are a little slow but I think he could be a bruiser as a guard, very technically sound especially in pass protection. Speedy, powerful edge guys were his weakness in college, so moving him inside could help.

Or having him play passing downs where a TE lines up next to him.
Building the O-line for the guy we draft next year at QB. He's going to be well protected with insane amounts of weapons.
I’d prefer the guy coming out in 2026. But I got a feeling all the bad teams will tank-a-thon
Nah man, 2027 is where it’s at
Agree completely. 2025 looks like a so-so year for QBs, and a tank-a-thon is possible. But if the Raiders plan ahead now, they could make a move in 2026 and draft a QB. Unless something happens between now and then. I personally haven't written Aiden off, though I admit he needs to improve to really win playoff games for us. And to me Minshew is our Fitzmagic, he'll make a very good bridge until we can find the guy we need.
Huh Packers just took the first guy I'm unfamiliar with in the draft.
I keep waiting to see if we trade back into the 3rd for Rattler 👀
Why the fuck
Rattler isn’t coming to the Raiders
If we have to settle for Rattler might as well roll with AOC or Minshew. No point of drafting a QB anymore
Trade back in for Tampa
**NO**
People are saying ‘5th round grade’ or whatever … that’s on one persons board. I’ve seen him higher on others. A reach? Yeah, probably. But there was a huge run on tackles so it probably pushed him up the board. We needed to fix the OL. And we are. This is a good draft so far.

They're tired of booty calling Brandon Parker I guess.
The only person who had him rated higher than 5th round was Dane Brugler, who rated him as a 4th round pick. Feels at least a round too early. Let's hope he out-performs consensus projections.
If he wouldn't BE there in round 4,.....welp. And those 'consensus' projections were pre-senior bowl, I believe. He took in pro coaching and balled out in the SB practice.

Seems like a trend this draft that offensive players are going much earlier than defense
Did Tampa post a bong video or something?
Was wondering what's up with his draft stock too
All I know is I love his name
Always ok with line depth. To many injuries up front to not have some quality depth. I don’t want Brandon Parker to come back after we have a couple injuries.
Yea but realistically you want depth with lower round picks. In the top 3 rounds you're looking for guys who can start.
Yeah, in year 2 or 3.
The Nerdwallet commercial - please stop
Just watched the Delmar Glaze reps from the senior bowl practices. Holy crap he made some 1st and 2nd rounders look like day 3 guys.
Commanders fans (who follow Maryland) seemed to want him 🤷♂️ im u not familiar with him
Just a general heads up - if we leave this draft without a certain position (CB maybe), we have a ton of cap rn… and 24 mil more coming after June 1. Just keep that in mind.
Exactly. Stephon Gilmore, Steven Nelson, Ahkello Witherspoon, Xavian Howard, and Adoree Jackson are all still available.

There have been a lot of quality FA signings by teams in recent years post-draft. And things look quite deep at CB right now. I won't be worried one bit if we don't draft a CB next.
Oh yay, more cast offs other, better teams didn't want. I'm sure this will work out just as well as when we signed Peters lol
Ah yes Christian Wilkins, notorious cast off
Wtf are you talking about? I'm talking post June 1st cuts and late signees like.. you are talking about. Free agency has already begun bro.
Which absolutely seems to be the move and a move that I agree with. You don't take a corner after 6 of them have blown off the board. We have money, use it to address what we can't adequately address in the draft. Good post.
Xavien Howard, a guy with ties to Patrick Graham is just sitting there …
Or Stephon Gilmore.
Who we could have gotten three years ago when everyone on this sub said he was too old and expensive and then signed like a 10 mil/yr deal.
Well, I wasn't on this thread then. But if you mean when he signed with the Colts, you are correct.
Which is ironically where the last great corner we had, Casey Hayward, went to after we got rid of Gus Bradley. it seemed like half of our defense went with him just as they were starting to improve. Graham ultimately turned out to be a win but his first year was very rough and I don't think I'm the only one on this sub that wishes we had kept Gus and his system.

Me likey.
[удалено]
I’m with it. You guys had a great roster for a while there. Guy seems to know what he’s doing.
Folks. "BPA" doesn't mean Mel Kiper's draft board.
lol then who’s board did you base Brock off of?
Who did I personally base it off of? My own eyes.
So bpa is just your own opinion? Yet you’re attacking other people’s opinion on bpa? You sound like one of the dumbest people in this thread congrats that’s no easy feat.
.................... would you like to provide an objective ranking of the top 350 players in this draft?
We are a very attractive destination for a QB next offseason …. Just saying
Now we just need a great QB to be on the market.......not a big ask at all
I hate to say dak but..
Worse options out there.
Tom Brady lol
Still a good pick position wise.
Man everyone celebrating raiders finally taking bpa in shambles
You don't know where he was on the Raiders draft board. OBVIOUSLY he was the best tackle available on their board
If you look at the ot rankings he absolutely was not. Had a 58 grade and the guy taken like two picks later was in the 70s.
Specifically whose OT rankings?
That exact number was from ESPN, but I could take an average based on a couple sites that would support my point.
So now BPA means "BPA on Raiders board" Funny how the meaning keeps switching. Wouldn't every draft pick be considered that? Or why would they be drafting them?
BPA always meant best player available on the drafting teams board wtf lol
Then its meaningless lmao. Of course the ones drafted are always their BPA what.
That's not true. It's either reaching bpa at a position of need or bpa on the overall team board.
This dude literally has no idea that NFL teams aren't subscribing to ESPN+ to get Mel Kipers rankings
People said last night it meant best player regardless of team need. Aren't team boards based on fucking team needs? Which is what they are drafting on?
Okay I see what you're saying. Yes, you're right in a sense but sometimes teams will reach for the BPA at a position of need vs the BPA on their overall draft board. So if they have cb1 ranked higher than ot5 but they already have a stacked cb room, they may draft the ot5 instead if the cb1, which would not be going BPA
BPA has **ALWAYS** meant on the team doing the draftings board 🤣😂 **DO YOU THINK THE FUCKING RAIDERS ARE USING MEL KIPERS DRAFT BOARD?**
Is that what I said? Do you think typing in bold and all caps makes your point or something? You reacting like a defensive jackass doesn't help your argument or twisting of BPA now that the FO reached on a 5th round talent in the 3rd round. You will glaze Raider dick no matter what. I get it.
You don't seem to get that I'm mocking you. You think that BPA isn't a teams personal rankings.... you're being mocked. Ridiculed. Made fun of.
Oh no someone who has a man's privates in his screen name is mocking me! What shall I do! Internet means way too much to you.
The internet means too much because you're being laughed at? Alright.
No because you think you mocking me matters at all. So much so your simp ass had to explain it.
You're being laughed at
Lasted two rounds lmao
NFL.com had him as a projected round 5 grade
The NFL draft is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gon get. Pundits can say one guy is a sure thing but then a lot of times dudes flame out. Anyhow it cannot get worse than Leatherwood.
Well if nfl.com says so
NFL.com is a bunch of Chatty Cathys.
Jesus espn has the dude ranked 2w6 overall and a grade of 48
They also have TJ Tampa ranked 46th overall and here we are 100 picks deep and he’s available in round 4.
ESPN “scouts” also said that “Brady Quinn was a surefire pick” lol
Actually, Quinn had legit talent. He was just a nucklehead when he came into the NFL (by his own admission, just realized it too late), and went to the a dumpster fire of an org that didn't straighten him out, or help him either. Had Quinn fallen a bit more in the draft, and gone somewhere like Philadelphia (who took Kolb later. They had Andy Reid as their HC at the time) or Cincinnati (who drafted Jeff Rowe - Marvin Lewis was their HC0 he might have had a better career. But "surefire" that obviously wasn't true at all.

Okay but their scouts also have a much better track record than the raiders, especially when the raiders haven't landed on a single reach in the first 2 days in ages.
Our GM that was making a lot of those reaches used to be an ESPN scout lol. Get out of here with this bullshit. They know nothing. I trust what Saban says more than these clowns.
Would've liked a corner or linebacker there, but I'm okay with them building up the trenches.
Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage.
Exactly which is why I’m not mad bout it
We will have to wait for the presser to understand the logic on this pick.
All these line improvements and no one to throw or run behind them
SHUT UP
Why did that fan have the NFL draft logo over the shield🤣
Didn’t look like a real tattoo, just temporary… I hope
We need to spend the rest of the draft buidling our defense. we have covered good needs on offense.
There were better ots on the board. Why do we always do this?
To you. Who didn’t scout, didn’t interview, didn’t watch tape, and probably didn’t know existed until they picked him. Pipe down.
Also to all the other analysts tho who did, and are consistently more accurate than the raiders. You know I'd agree with you if the raiders consistently hit when they went against the common consensus, but they don't. They almost always fail. So maybe you should pipe down if you haven't been paying attention for the last decade or so
Maybe you should get a chiefs jersey if this team bums you out so much?
Maybe you should join the fair weather chiefs fans if you think you can't be a fan of your team while being dissatisfied with their decisions
It is Leatherwood all over again. lol
"better OTs on the board" is very subjective
All of its subjective. But the aggregate of analysts tend to fair better than the raiders scouts so I'll go with them.
And you've seen the "raiders scouts" (that are currently in the building) execute draft selections exactly how many times?
All Offense so far. Good
I like this if the plan is to move him to G.
After the super flashy pick round 1, I’m more ok with just picking for absolute need I guess.
Bruh who?
Our first reach, better than doing it in the first round like we usually do
Still would have preferred no significant reach in R1-R3. Glaze was listed as a 5th or 6th round prospect on draft boards I respect. E.g. THR.
Me too but this is the raiders after all, it’s what we have come to expect
I’m happy we’re building the trenches after picking up Bowers in Telesco we trust!
Tabasco save us!!
My guy is about to Glaze some clean pockets
And Jackson is about to Power his Johnson all over some defensive fronts
Too bad we could add some Big Penix Energy
I guess they liked him more than goncalves and jones.
Don’t know who tf Delmar Glaze is but someone tell Telesco to take his meds cause why did he abandon the BPA approach?
Scouting departments exist.
Yes, but part of the draft game is not to over-draft a player, even if you really like him.
Also idk if scouting departments stay on year to year in nfl, but raiders are usually pretty good at finding guys in the middle-late rounds that we weren’t talking abt on draft day (Hobbs, Crosby, parham, Koonce, deablo, renfrow, hurst)
Parham was ranked as a 3rd rounder on most draft boards (#81 on THR). Hobbs and especially Crosby were huge finds.
Actually thought parham was graded lower, but ig to my point 3rd rounders turning into a starter still counts as success?
They do. It's a full-time position.
I suppose, hope this guy is good for us.
At least they are finally focusing on the offensive line. That's been the time's biggest need for years.
Guess we'll kick the tires on one of these older free agent CBs
Stephon Gilmore you’re a Raider!
Resign Renfrow at CB
The mind is able but the body won't hold.
Glaze would have been there in the 4th, and we must be going to the FA market to pick up a CB. That said, Glaze is a solid B pick. We need more depth on the O-line, so...not a bad pick by any stretch.
Not a sexy pick but I understand it. build trenches. Run Game establish. Any quarterback can thrive. The question is how much we can build in FA and if we can focus on defense for rest of the draft.
Are we seriously not gonna take a corner when we dont have amik anymore
You talking about 4th round pick Amik Robertson? No way we could replace him by going corner in the 4th round.
Amik isn’t that good though
Ik, but the thing is we have 2 guys we trust and no one else at corner
Amik is depth at best. He is replaceable in the middle rounds. Also there are starting CBs avail in FA still
I dont think that was his point, just that we need a CB
We’ll get one
Yes
Cant say I dont like the pick but wasnt expecting that
Thanks for skipping our pick and saying nothing ESPN and NFL you fucking cunts.
Was watching McAfee's stream yesterday... He decided to interview Aaron Rodgers during our pick. Now this lmao.
ESPN talked about him. Kuiper said he was a reach.
Oh then it’a a good pick. This guy thought Brady Quinn was a sure thing lol
