I knew I forgot to do something yesterday. The Raiders predraft moves are probably just about complete, so we can have a pretty good idea about their draft needs.

Their most notable losses were two starting safeties, a starting nickel corner, and a starting LB.

Other than those positions, O-Line and RB are probably the most pressing needs. They did have the worst running game in the league last year.

Let's restrict trades to at most one trade up and one trade back, and no trading your 2026 1st round picks.

Any mock draft simulator is fair game. Here's my recommended one.

This time, I'll just be judging the entries.

Bidding up the Yankees when their best pitcher is out for the season and 3/5 of their starting rotation is hurt is an interesting strategy. They are still a good team but I don't think they are the clear favourite in the AL anymore.

Vegas knows more than I do.

Yankees play in the best division in baseball. We will see what the odds look like 1/3 of the way through the season when it’s clear the Yankees won’t run away with the division and might be a wild card team. Yankees odds should be slightly better than orioles, Red Sox, Astros range. Maybe 4%.

I quit with this friggin site today. Of course another pop up pops up just as I am taking a screenshot and it blocks the two last picks. They were IOL Jake Majors and DL Vernon Broughton.

This is still a great draft even if it is must a hair below perfection. Starks in the second. Carter and Walker great value as well.

I've noticed that I don't get DT's as often with this site as I do with PFN.

Obviously, I love the Hunter pick and Judkins is worth slight bonus points, since they have a preference for Chip's guys.

I liked the other draft better overall, even though I didn't get to finish it, but this one addressed your biggest needs pretty early and took a flyer on a QB later which might be a better option now that you have Geno.

I've been increasingly intrigued by Shough as a day 3 QB. It sounds like his talent is pretty top tier, but there are age and injury concerns. Sign me up for that! The Raiders have the best staff and facilities for strength training and rehabbing injuries.

Size, arm strength. He is definitely worth a flyer. Injury concerns and apparently he needs a good offensive line because he gets rattled and makes bad decisions when pressured. Sounds like Goff.

I don't like that. I'd rather have an irrational confidence guy at that position.

Perfect Raiders draft coming up shortly.

I am beyond frustrated. I had to abandon a draft that had Hunter, Dart, Mukuba and a trade back to get you 2 more picks because Mock draft database kept freezing. What a shame. Trying again but I can no longer promise perfection.

That is frustrating.

I lost in trading, maybe I was unlucky, like the trading experts.
