Ferrell was easily the best DL on the Raiders. He's a top-20 DE already and he's had spotty coaching.

Bust? Hell, he'll be the most improved player when he has 8+ sacks next year.

Trent Brown is great when he cares, trash when he doesn’t care. Same was true of Tommy Kelly, IIRC.

I’d rather have someone who plays well all the time.

Carr played much better in 2020. Almost every category of criticism he faced in the past was improved for 2020.

Fix the defense and see if Carr can do anything on the big stage. If not, move on......

Yes, I did.

Littleton played very well for the Rams (hence his contract) and he had three strong games to finish the year. The Raiders legitimately improved, defensively, after they fired Paul...

That's not necessarily true. The Raiders would be crazy to say, "If we can't trade him, we'll cut him."

Who would trade for someone they can get for free in a few weeks? No, this is the Raiders...

The Raiders already have a WLB, and a pretty good one -- Corey Littleton. I actually think WLB is an easy-ish position to fill when you have a DL that can rush the passer and 3-4 DBs with a pulse.
...

I'm still very much in favor of drafting Jamie Newman in this draft. He's the most accurate deep-ball thrower in the 2021 draft which includes Lawrence, Wilson, Fields and Lance.

If you work with...

I'd gladly take a 6th or 7th round pick for Trent Brown.

If not... I'd gladly cut him, too.

Fix the defense. Full stop.

Some posters have waited for the Raiders to be a top-half defense for ... 15+ years? Longer?

It's ridiculous.

I'm down with extending Carr to decrease his cap cost.

I think Trey Smith is a starting caliber G in the NFL. If the Raiders can get a RT and draft Smith in the 3rd/4th round, they'll be fine on...

Jay Gruden and Mike Mayock have both come out in support of the Gruden/Carr dynamic. Players are starting to speak up about how much they like Derek Carr.

It's over. Derek Carr starts for the...

Bleh, not thrilled with the move to get rid of Gabe Jackson.

Between Williams and Gabe Jackson, the Raiders are ~$2M over the cap. LaMarcus Joyner, Trent Brown and Mariota will get the Raiders to...

Now that the Raiders need a guard, I'd like to push Trey Smith in the 4th round.

I think Smith is athletic enough to function in the ZBS, and he's proven he can get the job done in the SEC against...

We don't know this.

Given how effectively the Raiders have improved on offense through the draft, we can't say the talent evaluation is poor. It's possible Guenther was just that bad as a...

Some criticism of Carr is justified, but some of it is overblown.

Carr misses some reads. He takes safe completions too often. That said, he has to know that any turnovers are back-breaking. If he...

If that means the Raiders can get Moses and Nixon in later rounds, so be it. Both have talent.

I like Collins. His stock “rose” because his film is fantastic. He’s a really good player. In a Gus...

Both Joyner and Littleton were good players the Rams couldn’t afford to keep. Both *SHOULD* play better than they have. It’s not their fault Guenther is useless.

Is that list ugly? Sure. But...

I think the Chiefs nailed this process. You have a good QB? Build around them.

If they can’t get the job done, you draft their replacement and keep winning while the replacement develops.

I believe Collins is the #2 defensive prospect after Micah Parsons.

If he’s there at #17, you draft him. Collins gives you an elite LB playmaker for the next 5-10 years.

He was okay but oft injured.

Take that money and re-sign Agohlor. I’d love for the Raiders to have 2-3 receivers with 40-50 catches to supplement Waller’s 100+ catches in 2021.

Nobody mentions JJ Watt fleeing for his life.

No, Houston is being run by a literal crazy person, influenced by a religious charlatan.

I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this in the NFL...

Yeah, what’s happening in Houston is beyond belief.

I read about Park Geun-hye before the scandal really broke. Religious cults and “Buddhist witch coven?” I thought, “That can’t be real.” It was....

No, Watson is a legitimate game-changing playmaker. He’s as good as advertised and then some.

The Carolina Panthers look hell bent on getting Watson. They’re going all in. They’ll trade...

Here’s what I came up with via PFF Mock.



Y’all gonna kill me for the Newman pick, but he’ll be a stud in 2-3 years with proper coaching. Collins and McNeill improve the pass rush and the run...

Good. Clarity, at last.

Get Carr on a cap-friendly extension and move on with life. Build the defense no matter what.
