Dane Brugler's latest seven-round NFL mock draft includes ten picks for the Raiders, starting with quarterback Fernando Mendoza from Indiana at pick 1. The second-round pick is defensive tackle Kayden McDonald from Ohio State.
It was just last week that Dane Brugler put out his The Beast draft guide. Now he's turned right around and did the other thing. Brugler put together a moster seven-round mock draft. All 257 players taken. But for our purposes, we're going to hone in on the Raiders picks. There are ten of them, in fact.
Here's how Brugler has the Raiders draft going down:
Notes: He has the Raiders addressing most every need they have, in basically the order they would need them, more or less. They have an empty hole where a nose tackle in needed and McDonald fills that nicely. Then he gets Mendozas security blanket receiver from Indiana.
To start off day three he attacks the secondary, getting a cornerback first and then addressing the safety spot which both head coach Klint Kubiak and John Spytek have said they would like to do in this draft. Then it's the offensive line that gets some attention, another area Spytek recently said they would like to go after in this draft. After a couple probably flyers, they round it off by going after probably the only kicker worthy of a draft selection this year.
The only positions not addressed here that probably needed attention are running back and linebacker. But otherwise nice work by Brugler. Especially when you consider he had 32 teams to think about to put this together.
