1. The Origin: Trading Jakobi Meyers
Remember the trade deadline? Quinnen Williams was moved, Sauce Gardner was moved and many more but one trade turned into a lot, Jakobi Meyers.
Date: Nov 04, 2025
Action: The Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville for two 2026 draft picks:
2026 Round 4, Pick #117
2026 Round 6, Pick #18
They traded there generally WR1 for a 4th and 6th. Yeah not the best but I guess there were on something, hear this
2. Branch A: Flipping Pick #117 (HOU Trade)
Date: Apr 24, 2026
Action: Las Vegas used Pick #117 as part of a package with Houston:
Houston Received: Pick #36 (used on Kayden McDonald) and Pick #117.
Raiders Received: Pick #38 (Treydan Stukes) and Pick #91 (Trey Zuhn III).
But it doesn’t end there, pick 177 was flipped also
3. Branch B: Flipping Pick #182 (BUF Trade)
Date: Mar 11, 2026
Action: Las Vegas sent Pick #182 to Buffalo:
Buffalo Received: Pick #182
Raiders Received: DB Taron Johnson and 2026 Round 7, Pick #228.
4. Branch C: Flipping Pick #228 (NYJ Trade)
But no it’s still not done!
Date: Mar 11, 2026
Action:The Raiders immediately leveraged Pick #228 in a deal with the Jets:
Jets Received: QB Geno Smith (💀)and Pick #228 (used on V.J. Payne, wrote an article on him btw lol).
Raiders Received: 2026 Round 6, Pick #208.
5. Branch D: Flipping Pick #208 (ATL Trade)
Date: Apr 25, 2026
Action: Las Vegas moved Pick #208 in a deal with Atlanta:
Falcons Received: Pick #134 (Kendal Daniels) and Pick #208 (Anterio Thompson).
Raiders Received: Pick #122 (Mike Washington Jr.).
Final Outcome for the Raiders
By starting with Jakobi Meyers, trading him for draft capital, and continuously swapping those assets across four subsequent deals, the Raiders ultimately acquired:
Taron Johnson (a nice CB)
Pick #38 (Treydan Stukes)
Pick #91 (Trey Zuhn III)
Pick #122 (Mike Washington Jr.)
Of course what remains to be seen is how these rookies are gonna play out but dang they really did attempt to max out what they got Meyers.
On an unrelated note I actually really didn’t enjoy thisðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚ i just knew I had to post something so why not this lol, please like and flame is you enjoyed this lol.
