James @tbh_military_chapter (05:20.396)

James @tbh_military_chapter (05:35.03)
Let's see if the bears are willing to trade up with us.

Raider Wil (05:40.121)

To the bears.

James @tbh_military_chapter (05:48.534)

Raider Wil (06:25.561)
Trade has been rejected.

James @tbh_military_chapter (06:26.048)
Wow. Well, the trade's been rejected. I think we're taking Shador Sanders.

Raider Wil (06:33.771)
Wow. The man passes up the electrifying wide receiver quarterback, Travis Hunter. Give me a reason why you passed up on my main man, Travis Hunter. Why do you think should do it as a better fit?

James @tbh_military_chapter (06:52.406)
I think, well, I think Shador is more of a need for the future. And I think the Raiders are going to probably end up going out and getting some more budget options. And I think Jacobi Meyers is clearly going to be the wide receiver one in the room. And I think he's going to just, he's displaying the leadership to already hold that title.

Raider Wil (07:13.327)
Okay, you pass up on defensive tackle Mason Graham out of You passed up Will Campbell offensive tackle and running back Junty because I guess you also would say position of need for the future. Right? Okay. All right. Now you got your quarterback drafted one. Do you want to make another move?

James @tbh_military_chapter (07:29.506)
Yeah.

James @tbh_military_chapter (07:38.688)
Did you draft Sanders, Rick? You didn't draft him yet. You gotta draft him.

James @tbh_military_chapter (14:46.338)
Gimme

Raider Wil (14:57.647)
You want me to click into them and give you a little bit of a scoop? Right, Wyatt Milnum, 66313, his RAS is 808. Relative to average production heading into the 2025 draft, Milnum is a safe projection with proper hand placement. Go ahead.

James @tbh_military_chapter (15:13.71)
You know what? Go ahead and give me a Milne. Yep. I'm good with that.

Raider Wil (15:21.631)
So we're gonna go guard. Now brother James goes and gets the 68th pick which is now in the third round.

Raider Wil (15:38.069)
And the Seattle Seahawks are hungry to trade with Brother James.

James @tbh_military_chapter (15:40.918)
Nope. Nope. got no draft picks because I took them all.

Raider Wil (15:46.831)
You good?

James @tbh_military_chapter (15:48.556)
Okay, let's go to, let's go to, let's go to defense.

James @tbh_military_chapter (15:58.369)
and go to corner.

Raider Wil (16:03.383)
You got Dorian Strong.

James @tbh_military_chapter (16:03.916)
Yeah, I'll take Dorian Strong all day. Right here. All day.

Raider Wil (16:11.375)
Third round, Dorian Strong.

James @tbh_military_chapter (16:12.972)
I don't think I can, I can't be mad about that.

Raider Wil (16:16.303)
There we go. Let's see now you're going to go all the way to the 108th, so I'd be like now you actually are going to throw. think it to the 4th round.

Raider Wil (16:33.423)
Currently, brother, you have...

Raider Wil (16:38.575)
drafted Jackson Dart secured the quarterback spot. Carson Swindon, linebacker secured. Renshan Jerkins.

Secured running back.

secured an offensive guard with Millam and a cornerback position with Dorian Strong. Currently, we're at 108. Where do you want to go?

James @tbh_military_chapter (17:06.136)
Let's go offense and let's go offensive tackle.

Raider Wil (17:15.919)
We have Logan Brown. We have Anthony Belton. We have Jalen Travis. We have Aidenis Cornelius. We have Jalen Rivers. We have...

Jack Nelson, Highland Pierce, Carson Vincent.

James @tbh_military_chapter (17:36.502)
Okay. So let's, what's that wide receiver?

Raider Wil (17:44.857)
Tory Horton, Savion Williams.

James @tbh_military_chapter (17:47.872)
Tori Horton sounds kinda fun.

Raider Wil (17:50.223)
Nice job.

Raider Wil (17:53.85)
All right, Torrey Horton. Gotcha. Hey, he's a casper. He's a playmaker. mean, like, if you watch football, he made some plays for CU. He was their number one receiver.

James @tbh_military_chapter (17:56.174)
Let's do that. That sounds kind of fun.

Raider Wil (18:09.615)
So we get them in the fourth round, to attract a wide receiver. Now we've got another receiver in the room. You're in the fourth round, looks like you're going to 143.

Raider Wil (18:31.491)
Now we're in the fifth round.

James @tbh_military_chapter (18:40.504)
So I think right here, this is where we're gonna need to look and dig a little bit deeper. And I say right here, we should go offensive tackle.

Raider Wil (18:57.295)
We got Agenis Cornelius, Jalen Rivers, Jack.

James @tbh_military_chapter (19:02.082)
And I think I like that. I like, I think right here, I like that. like the Cornelius pick here. I think that's a, that's that's a great option given where you're at in the fifth round. think that's a pretty high value for the, for that pick at that position.

Raider Wil (19:17.578)
Let's go, let's see.

Here we go, we're going through it, we're going through it.

Raider Wil (19:29.017)

He might not be there. Okay, let's do this then. He's a UNLV. That's who he is.

James @tbh_military_chapter (24:29.186)

Raider Wil (24:38.479)
Okay. And now you got another pick in this extra.

James @tbh_military_chapter (24:42.796)

James @tbh_military_chapter (25:11.406)
Let's go offense.

James @tbh_military_chapter (25:19.06)
Actually, better yet. Yeah, yeah, we'll stay here. We'll stay offense and we'll go.

Hmm.

James @tbh_military_chapter (25:29.794)
Fuck it, let's Let's go Kobe Hudson.

Raider Wil (25:34.159)
Toby Hutts.

James @tbh_military_chapter (25:38.628)
Our wide receiver room is pretty small, so.

Raider Wil (25:38.84)
Yeah

Raider Wil (25:43.279)
That is it for this draft right here, baby. Let me see. In the seventh, we're all the way through.

Raider Wil (25:59.969)
All right.

Yeah,

James @tbh_military_chapter (26:04.342)
I think- I think you're just surprised I gave up my- my Shadoor pick.

Raider Wil (26:10.063)
Bro, this move, that was enormous. Look at this haul, baby. Brother James. That's just, I mean, like, I don't think there could be a better draft. Jackson Dart comes in the first. You secure the quarterback position for the Reuters, moving back and picking at 18th. Carson Swindler. Linebacker, USC.

Secures the linebacker position for the Raiders for the next five to six years. Quinshawn Jerkins, absolute stud, knows the system, can come in and be a day one plug-in. Wyatt Millam? He's got his chops cut out for him fighting in that guard spot, but I could see him lining up next to JPJ. Dorian Strong!

You feel like the DB room needs some help and I can see that. get Dorian Strong in the fourth. Another guy that you can add to that room. Torrey Horton, absolute stud, possession receiver. Played Mountain West, I get it. I'd be like, brother, this draft is definitely a loaded draft for you. I believe here you at least got two to three starters for sure. What are your thoughts?

James @tbh_military_chapter (27:41.676)
Yeah, I think I did pretty, I was able to pull together pretty good here between especially Jackson Dart, Carson Schweizer and Judkins. I think the ones that would really set it off for me is if you could see Dorian Strong step in and if you could give, see Trevor Etienne give Judkins a run for his money.

Raider Wil (28:06.979)
man what a one-two punch that can become Trevor Etienne and Judkins I'd like that could be a one-two punch that can electrify Raider Nation for the next couple years I'd be like when we look at that man I mean like that is an electric backfield

That's what I see here. I don't know about you, but you added so much juice in that backfield. Then, again, I mean like you drafted three DBs. So you really feel as in the DB room needs a lot of help.

James @tbh_military_chapter (28:51.308)
I think it's not just that if you think the DB room needs a lot of help, I just think with Jack Jones gone, this allows us to bring in some more young talent that can compete with one another, that can get the best out of one another. Because we may draft Dorian Strong, and where did I draft him? The fourth, right? But that doesn't mean that Jermar Harris, who was

drafting the 6th won't be better than Dorian Strong.

And I think that's the kind of healthy competition we need in the, you know, in the room.

Raider Wil (29:36.72)
Now looking at your draft brother I'd be like literally I'm like I want to break apart your draft I want to break it down I'll be like we look at it you move back from six all the way to 18 then you pulled the dart the Jackson dart you know card what made you decide on Jackson dart at 18 in that time

James @tbh_military_chapter (30:02.818)
I didn't personally with Jackson Dart. think Jackson Dart is a very doubt talented guy. And I think Jackson Dart is going to be the next Justin Herbert in the league. And I really firmly believe that they look like damn near brothers aside from that fact. So I think I just think he's going to be that great. I don't think I think Jackson Dart

Raider Wil (30:22.105)
No.

James @tbh_military_chapter (30:27.83)
is very different from some of the quarterbacks that we saw come out in recent years, like Kenny Pickett. And I think teams like the Steelers who made the mistake with Kenny Pickett know that. And I don't feel that if we didn't pick Jackson Dart at 18, I really think he was going to go to the Steelers at 22.

Raider Wil (30:50.509)
Okay, now in the second round you you've been focused laser focused on this guy out of UCLA. Carson Swinzer, you pull the trigger with him at two or in the second round. What made you decide on Swinzer? What made and what has made you so laser focused on this

James @tbh_military_chapter (31:12.599)
He's just great with run defense and that's something that the Raiders have really struggled with. His people have just been running the ball down our throat.

Raider Wil (31:21.071)
Okay, then we come back and we go again and we get our running back out of Ohio State. Judkins, what was the thought process there?

James @tbh_military_chapter (31:38.19)
I think, I think obviously he's going to have a lot of chemistry having been that he's just finished working with a Chip Kelly. And I think some, some chemistry like that in the backfield is something that would benefit the team is something that we haven't really had in the backfield really, even since Chuckie left with Josh Jacobs. Cause we never, even though, although Josh Jacobs

Raider Wil (31:47.096)
It's good.

James @tbh_military_chapter (32:06.22)
had one of his biggest seasons under Josh McDaniels. lot of that could be touted to the fact that McDaniels wasn't letting Carr throw the damn ball.

Raider Wil (32:18.615)
Okay. Then we come back and you go guard. Talk about a curve ball. You go, why you mailed them?

What made you decide to go O-Line at that time?

James @tbh_military_chapter (32:34.894)
I'm not completely sold that Dylan Parham is going to be a guard long term for our football team.

Raider Wil (32:37.795)
Right.

Raider Wil (32:46.703)
Wow! So you're not riding the Dylan Parham train?

Raider Wil (32:54.625)
Okay, okay. Okay, then you draft a corner. You got Dorian Strong, Virginia Tech.

James @tbh_military_chapter (32:54.71)
I think Dylan Parham might be on his way out.

Raider Wil (33:05.625)
We already talked about it. We know, hey, that DB room is weak. You want to bring them in. We got rid of Jack Jones, El Presidente. Picture hanging on your wall. Spent 50 bucks. So then we go to Tony Horton. Wide receiver. But you said a lot in that when you drafted Tony Horton. You felt as in mayors are stepping up.

Coming back true number one.

Raider Wil (33:40.269)
What made you say that and what makes you believe that Tony Horton is going to be a great addition to that wide receiver?

James @tbh_military_chapter (33:48.044)
I think what's going to make Tory Horton a great addition is similar to what has made Jacoby Myers a great addition. And since Jacoby Myers has been on the Raiders, he was never expected to be a wide receiver one talent. And I don't think Tory Horton is expected to be a wide receiver one talent neither. And I think they have similar play styles being the fact that look, what they do isn't flashy. What they do is not

It's not like Devontae Adams, but what they do do is they grab the ball and they don't drop it and they secure that ball and get that first down. And to me, I think that's what the Raiders should be focused on right now. Not so much the big explosive plays, but the endurance to keep the plays going, to keep them coming out, to keep that green dot calling those plays in that hole, to keep Gino calling run plays, slant plays, whatever it is that he's got called.

Raider Wil (34:36.832)
Thank

James @tbh_military_chapter (34:48.088)
To me, the objective that we should be doing is, and we should be focused on, is our clock management and time of possession. And I think Tori Horton would be a great addition to do that.

Raider Wil (34:59.887)
Absolutely, absolutely. I believe you hit a lot of nails on the head right there. I know a lot of people don't watch the C.U. Rams football. You know, it's not a very popular school. Guys, I would advise you to go back. Look at the tape on this kid. He's an absolute dime piece. And to pick him up there, James did an absolutely fabulous job in this simulation draft. know, spy tech, if you're out there and you see this simulation draft.

Make sure you hit up brother James. He'll get you 4-1-1. All right. Ajani Cornelius, offensive tackle Oregon at 143. What made you go tackle there? I'd be like, we've talked about it. We know that Colton Miller is on that, you know, he's getting a little bit older, but we're still saying he's playing on a real high level. And we got DJ Glaze last year. So.

James @tbh_military_chapter (35:31.543)
See you.

James @tbh_military_chapter (35:53.495)
I think, I just think between Glaze playing as well as he did and Colton Miller, you know, just being himself, I think this would just be a good opportunity to bring someone else in there for iron to sharpen iron. And I think, and we've seen this kind of thing play out. in matter of fact, we kind of saw this with DJ Glaze because DJ Glaze was not really expected to be like a day one starter right off the bat. And

Raider Wil (36:10.114)
Okay.

Raider Wil (36:22.575)
All right.

James @tbh_military_chapter (36:23.956)
You know, it worked out. DJ Glaze got put in there. When he got put in there, he was, he was good. He, his first couple of plays were a little shaky, but once he got past that, maybe that first game or two, he was thriving. He was really holding his own in there. And I think that's something else we can expect from, from Cornelius. And I think if Colton Miller were beat to be unavailable, I think a lot of people would prefer to watch, you know, Cornelius.

than trying to do some wacky thing like moving Kappa or moving Parham or moving freaking whoever the hell they were. try moving Cody Whitehair. You know, we don't need to see any of that. I think that's just the right move here. Even if it's just for depth.

Raider Wil (37:11.031)
got you I got you okay Jabbar Mohammed corner Oregon right after that we talked about it already you said you want competition you want depth you want that position to compete and let the best guy come out there they're like I really don't think we need to go over there say hey but here's another interesting pick Trevor Etienne running back

Georgia.

You said you want competition, but when you got two horses in the stable, what are you going to do? I mean, like two rookies that are high powered running backs that can potentially be day one starters.

James @tbh_military_chapter (38:00.6)
Let's bring back the double running back gun set. Let's do it.

Raider Wil (38:05.795)
I could see that. I could see a two back set with this.

James @tbh_military_chapter (38:07.342)
We haven't seen a too bad sense since Jayden Richard departed.

Raider Wil (38:14.703)
Hey, no lies, brother. We're coming out of the gun and everything. 11 personnel only. 12 personnel only. Hey, so then you come back, you go to Armani Harris, corner, Iowa. Another move for depth. Another move for competition. That secondary room is going to be full of young, hungry guys.

Raider Wil (38:44.857)
Jeffrey Baza comes. And you already said it. Another move for depth. But the last pick in the draft.

Wide receiver? Let me know why baby. What's going on there? Do you feel like we need that much help in the wide receiver room?

James @tbh_military_chapter (39:07.256)
So my last pick being another wide receiver is more due to the fact that...

I'm not completely sure.

Trey Tucker is our ideal wide receiver too.

Raider Wil (39:21.039)
Trey Tucker! He said, I don't like me no Trey Tucker. Wow! What? So you don't see him as your possible tool? see what? Where do you see Trey Tucker playing?

James @tbh_military_chapter (39:36.554)
In my opinion, I think if Trey Tucker was going to thrive somewhere, I think he would thrive in the slot.

Raider Wil (39:43.224)
Okay, you believe that right? I can see that. Absolute speedster, not a big guy, not a possession guy, a guy that creates separation through speed and lateral movement. You're absolutely correct. Guys, what I want you guys to do is comment, like, subscribe, make sure that you guys are engaging with us and let me know what you think about Brother James's draft here. Is he spot on? Is he off?

Raider Wil (43:12.493)
Yes sir. Hey, brother James is right, man. We're going to be doing a bunch of simulation drafts, you know, going over it, breaking it down, talking to our people, getting a feel for where they're going with it. As you guys see, brother James came out and we believe that he absolutely smashed it out of the park. Brother James, for me, you get a grade A for this one, brother, because I'm going to give you something. I know if you guys watch this show and I think

We do got a lot of people that are watching. You know that, Hey, he's been on the platform here, standing on this Hill, banging his chest for Chidor Sanders. He has the opportunity to draft the man plus some, he moves back to 18 and absolutely loads up and still loads up at the quarterback position. Brother.

Believe you got about three starters on that now. Do I hope that the Raiders do the same? Absolutely, but guys let us know what you guys think again. Make sure you guys click like share subscribe and a man Thank you guys for the support. It's all about the black hole. It's all about one family. It's all about one team. It's all about the
