THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS...OFFSEASON THREAD | "NEW DAY. NEW CHAPTER. NEW ERA. NEW MINDSET."

[njavier03]

i don't think we make a move, if at all, until after Washington's pick. if they end up taking Daniels, then there is no point in trading up tbh. i'm not high enough on Maye or McCarthy to move up. OT is the pick at 13. if Penix is still available in the 2nd, then i'd make a move.

 

[mr jordan04]

Penix in the second round would be great. There’s been “analysts” listing him as the best QB in the draft. But the draft is so unpredictable that you really don’t know how everything will shape out

 

[MajinZuub]

Don’t think Penix makes it to the second round pick

 

[njavier03]

i think he might be in the same situation as Levis, where if he doesn't go top 15, he's falling to day 2

A Raider legend hangs them up

Brock Bowers, let's go

 

[raider5]

a surprise pick, but i am not mad at it. I really liked Michael Mayer

 

[raider5]

I do wish they went Oline. we literally have no one on the right side at the moment

 

[ICE CITY CF]

Figured we'd grab the defensive BPA but not mad at grabbing Bowers instead at all. Not an indictment of Mayer either.

 

[raider5]

I think top-5 may be a stretch, but him being BPA is real at that point of the draft

 

[njavier03]

Top 5 talent doesn’t mean top 5 pick. Bowers is one of the highest rated TEs in the history of the draft. For once, we actually went BPA and didn’t reach for need.

I’m in Vegas and did a stadium tour yesterday. First time at the stadium

This was my favorite tho

 

[kayzeezay]

Very nice

Don’t like the positional value in the first round 1st round should be for premium $$$ positions like QB, WR, OT, Edge or CB) but I’ll never be mad at BPA strategy. We need as many good players as possible.

TEs usually don’t reach their peak til their 2nd contract but I think Bowers can have a La Porta like impact right away.

 

[sohi 23]

I bet they go after Rattler today. I think you can get a good OT/CB @ 44, but I’m not sure Rattler makes it back to the Raiders pick in the 3rd round.

 

[ICE CITY CF]

I never realized Bowers is from the Bay , went to Napa High. Some of his fam was doing the Raiders chant in the background on the draft cam.

 

[njavier03]

Powers-Johnson was another great pick, but Glaze....not feeling it. if it isnt Ratler with our first pick tomorrow, its gotta be TJ Tampa.

 

[HNL HI]

honestly haven't watched much college football but have faith in the staff to actually develop these dudes after seeing them work some magic last season.

 

[MajinZuub]

Pretty happy with how they've drafted. The cb they got's measurables and combine numbers are pretty crazy.

 

[raider5]

Time to rock a Minshew goatee

 

[raider5]

I dont know the picks after the 2nd round, but I love the 1st and 2nd round picks

 

[ICE CITY CF]

Honestly I think Telesco low key killed it.

Bowers and Powers-Johnson.

Was maybe hopping for a more well known name at RB in the later rounds but obviously I don’t know anything about dude from New Hampshire.

 

[raider5]

i seen Raider Nation Twitter saying we got CMC 2.0, thats when i closed the app for awhile.

Surprised to hear they werent even interested in a QB after the first round. I dont disagree about not having one better than whats in the room right now, but damn can we get a QB for depth or even development purposes? Tommy T said **** all that. But Tommy T has an eye for QB’s so i’ll have to agree until he proves me otherwise.
