Say what ya want about the shoulda coulda woulda part of of this. That pic tho. Those colors tho. Reminds you that the Raiders have the best uniform in the game.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST WIDE RECEIVER DUO IN #NFL HISTORY:

The Las Vegas #Raiders could have had Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb paired together…

In the 2020 draft, the Raiders had the 12th and 19th pick in the draft; they respectively selected Henry Ruggs III and Damon Arnette.

Ruggs and Arnette were both major busts for different reasons… while Lamb and Jefferson have become All-Pros & are statistically on pace to be two of the greatest receivers of all time.

Just imagine JJ and CeeDee together in the same offense.

Which Teams Made Most of Their Picks?
- 150 points for player ranked 1st overall, 149 for player ranked 2nd …

- Players outside Top 150 = 0 points

- 150 expected points for 1st overall pick, 149 for 2nd overall pick …

 - Picks outside Top 150 = 0 expected points

What a crazy, full-circle moment for Xavian Sorey Jr.

I spoke with him at the #SeniorBowl about playing with Brock Bowers at UGA, and now he's heading to the Raiders as a UDFA.

Oh, and he played alongside Quay Walker and Nakobe Dean, who Las Vegas added in free agency (🧵)

[Levi Dombro @levidombro]

Glad to know that new #Raiders LB Xavian Sorey Jr. can continue learning under these Las Vegas studs.

"John Spytek has nailed this draft. It's as simple as that."

ESPN draft analysts gushed about the #Raiders' 10-pick haul headlined by Fernando Mendoza:

"This is one of the best drafts I've seen this year... It's easy to do that when you have the No. 1 pick, but they're doing it consistently in every round. Jermod McCoy was the top corner in this draft for me. If he can get on the field... he is an absolute star, an All-Pro caliber corner... (Safeties) Stukes and Johnson are such great athletes." - Matt Miller

"The only team that has five of my top-100 players in this draft, Las Vegas Raiders. Six of my top 109... The difference between this version of the Raiders and what we've seen in different years/administrations is the alignment being much more connected now... I like the initial outlook for Fernando Mendoza and this offense." - Field Yates

"You got pieces around the QB... You add Mike Washington Jr. to Ashton Jeanty. You got Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. You added Jalen Nailor. Glaze can come through at RT. Defensively you added pieces. Watch out. Once Mendoza figures it out, it's not going to take him long to crack the code... Once Mendoza establishes himself, they're off to the races. This team is being built to win." - Mel Kiper

"I personally think it's incredible... (Round 6 pick) Malik Benson played big-time football for Oregon down the stretch... ripping good defenses. That's how you maximize value at every part of the draft... Develop and implement these guys on the field so you get tangible results. But as far as the GM is concerned, John can sit back and say, 'I did what I had to do.'" - Louis Riddick

New Las Vegas Raiders WR Malik Benson led Oregon in receiving this past season. He also ran a 4.37 at the NFL Combine. #NFLDraft

Raiders fans, get to know Malik Benson and his inspiring journey via his NFL Draft SI interview:

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

I’m starting to wonder if the Raiders are planning to bring in Juwan Jennings. Malik Benson aside, I wonder if their thought process was of the board doesn’t fall our way at WR, contingency FA

[Arizona Football @ArizonaFBall]

welcome to the darkside @Raiders

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

Back together in Vegas

[PHNX Wildcats @PHNX_Wildcats]

Dalton Johnson and Treydan Stukes walk off the field for the last time as Wildcats 💔

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

Ok then.

#Raiders CB Hezekiah Masses

"I'm coming in to change the program around"

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

I believe @TampaBayTre had this guy as a good fit for Raiders predraft. I like the pick.

[Las Vegas Raiders @Raiders]

Alert the Masses 📢 #RaiderNation

We have selected Hezekiah Masses with the 175th pick.

Mike Washington Jr. is officially my RB2 after getting a chance to see the full extent of his receiving skillset at the Senior Bowl

Powerful linear athlete with a nasty stiff arm who offers upside as a receiver

Fun fact about new #Raiders CB Jermod McCoy

His first career interception came against Fernando Mendoza when he was at Cal

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

There were 2 guys left I had on my initial list of 36 prospects I liked for Raiders. Jermod McCoy and Jalon Kilgore. We got one of them already.

[Asher Mathews @AsherMathews]

It's an annual tradition for @RaidaPlaya and I, going back to when we both were writers covering the #Raiders, to post our personal Raiders-specific list of players, in order, up to their pick.

This year we went up to 36 and that's made our lists very different!

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

Something to watch

[Hondo Carpenter @HondoCarpenter]

I am NOT reporting anything is imminent, but I am hearing the Raiders are still working the phones. Can absolutley stay put, but multiple players, with value significantly higher than where the draft is, on the board.

[Hondo Carpenter @HondoCarpenter]

The value of this pick, if he doesn't heal, and they expect he will, you lose nothing. If he is fine, you get the best CB in the entire NFL Draft. Value, value, value. Spytek is Spyteking

[RaidaPlaya @RaidaPlaya]

💪

[🏁 🏴‍☠️ 🏈🥊🌉 @AyeAlston]

Now that's a good ass pick!

[Matt Miller @nfldraftscout]

The Raiders continue to crush this draft. So happy for Jermod McCoy
