Btw - Hunter isn't the only 2 way player in this draft. Jj Pegues is a DT/FB. Im very intrigued with him as a 6th/7th rounder

How the hell is a DT gonna get up to speed to block for the RB?

It has gotten so racist that the last three first overall QBs were black. Or multiple black coaches and GMs passed on Prank Call Sanders.

Using the race card is easier than admitting that Sanders overinflated his stock and NFL teams won't put up with that level of ego unless you are HOF material. Even then (see Terrell Owens) players tend to wear out their welcome quickly.

And Slough threw at the combine. Sanders skipped.
 

NFL Draft best available players for Las Vegas Raiders: Shedeur Sanders, Quinn Ewers​


By Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur

HENDERSON, Nev. — Well, well, well.

Shedeur Sanders’ slide has taken on epic and sad proportions. A few days after he was apparently still in the mix for the New York Giants at the No. 3 pick, Sanders will be available on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Raiders have passed on him seven times over the first two days — the five times they made a pick and the two times Friday they traded down — and the Cleveland Browns took a 5-foot-11 guy (Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel) over him.

The Raiders hit on some needs Friday and could still use a slot cornerback, a linebacker and … yes, a quarterback to groom.

Here’s a big board of the top remaining prospects the Raiders could target with their remaining six scheduled picks on Saturday.

Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas​

Ewers has questionable size, athleticism and durability, but he has a rocket for an arm, is incredibly tough and ran an NFL-style offense under Sarkisian at Texas. His game needs a lot of refinement, but the upside is there.

Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma​

Bowman primarily lined up at safety last year, but the Raiders would start him out at nickelback, which is a major need. He has the speed, athleticism and man coverage skills to stick there.

Jay Toia, DT, UCLA​

This former rugby player weighs 342 pounds, took on blockers and freed up traffic for linebacker Carson Schwesinger to make a lot of plays. The Raiders could use a nose tackle.

Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado​

Sanders is a polarizing figure, but he has the prerequisite accuracy, awareness, football intelligence and leadership skills to be a solid starter in the NFL. At some point on Day 3, isn’t that worth the potential circus that will come with him? He could still sit and work on that behind Geno Smith.

Will Howard, QB, Ohio State​

Howard helped Ohio State win a national championship last season while thriving in Kelly’s system. He has prototypical size and good enough athleticism and arm strength. He’d give the Raiders an interesting quarterback to develop behind Smith.

Kobe King, LB, Penn State​

King is a big inside linebacker who can do it all inside the box and loves to hit people. His lack of speed and agility hurts him outside the box, so his upside is that of a two-down starter.

Myles Hinton, OT, Michigan​

His father, Chris, was a seven-time Pro Bowler. Hinton started 10 games at left tackle for the Wolverines last year and has the size (6-7, 323 pounds), long arms and bend that teams want. He just needs to work on keeping his pad level down, his hand use and finishing plays.

Chris “Pooh” Paul Jr., LB, Ole Miss​

A little undersized at 6-1, 222, Paul hits the gaps and takes down running backs. He runs sideline to sideline and is also not that bad at covering backs and tight ends.

Sebastian Castro, S, Iowa​

Castro turns 25 in October and doesn’t have ideal speed and range, but he played a lot of games and made a lot of plays for a top Iowa defense. He was an All-American in 2023,

Cam Miller, QB, North Dakota State​

A sixth-round QB for minority owner Tom Brady? Miller is a dual-threat QB with a quick release who threw for 33 touchdowns against four interceptions last year. He also ran for 48 scores in his five years at NDSU and won two FCS national championships.

Yahya Black, DT, Iowa​

At 6-foot-6, 336 pounds, Black would provide a body type the Raiders simply don’t have. He doesn’t offer much value as a pass rusher, but he could be an impact run stuffer.

Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee​

Thornton is a 6-foot-5, 205-pound burner with inside-outside versatility. He may still be available on Day 3 due to his need for development as a route runner and mediocre college production.

Cool. Last two are in my Lil Al.

Why is everyone who has the potential to be clicked on arguing that Sanders is even worth a roster spot on the Raiders? Look at the guys drafted: they love and RESPECT the game, are top-shelf character guys and teammates, and have both humility and confidence.

Cam Miller or Will Howard if Spyguy takes a QB.

I only take Sanders with a full willingness to put stuff in his contract that can get him cut for conduct detrimental to the team.
