Thought I would do something different from the other mocks out there…

A trade down!

We give the Raiders our 1st and receive their 2nd and 3rd round picks.

This could honestly happen because 1) the Raiders don’t have a first round pick, as it is now they wouldn’t pick till #48, 2) it is a fair trade on the draft value chart, and 3) Al Davis is always open to trades…maybe he wants a QB or another track star bust.
