With any luck by pick 13 I'll be blacked out

Thanks guys... This therapy session has revived my excitement for this Thursdays pick!

Facebook was kind enough to remind me this morning that I'm an idiot. My status this day in 2010 was that I was happy the Raiders drafted the guy I wanted.... That of course was Rolando McClain. I doubled down on my stupidity that year and bought his jersey.

Dane's 7 round mock has the Raiders selection Terrion Arnold and then trading back up into the first for Penix.

Feel free to call me out :biggrin: ... I'm the last voice anybody should listen to when it comes to prospects. I watch very little college ball...

Baldy may have just sold me on Penix... https://x.com/SNBToday/status/1780204744323330161

Jack Jones showing up for work as the happiest dude on the planet... https://x.com/Raiders/status/1779948783474008522

Based on how he has surrounded himself with mentors, and guys who have been there before, I suspect he will change the philosophy on how a decision is made, but doesn't (want to) hold the final say. He's proven in his actions that he fights for what he believes in (Jones for example), but that...

I suspect it's a trauma response

Not going to lie, that statement/link had me worried he was being a diva somehow

Wonder if he isn't waiting out the draft and even some of training camp to better evaluate that team or situation he wants to place himself in

In watching the highlights, I like that he makes contested catches, and works himself open. Seems like a great name to watch. Also was it just me, or did his QB (for the first half of the highlights) have a super odd delivery?

A moment to vent... On a recent episode of the Around the NFL podcast, the Raiders were called out for only signing Minshew. Flip to the next episode, and the Vikings are celebrated for signing Darnold after losing Cousins. Even going as far as saying that the Vikes can maybe build around...

Correct my if I'm wrong, but the added value to trading up into the end of the 1st is to gain the opportunity for the 5th year option, and benefit from the rookie contract pricing for an extra year.

Risner was one of the guys I was hoping the Raiders would draft 4 years ago. Not just for his on field potential, but the work he does in the community as well. That guy has his head on straight.

The Raiders at 13 are in that fringe part of the draft where its any mock drafters best guess. Once you make it past the top 10 (I'd probably go as far as top 5 - 8), the possible variations make it nearly impossible to get any selection correct. Who is left, how the teams have moved around...

My opinion on the Mattison signing will depend heavily on the details of the contract. But until those details are known, I'm ok with the addition. He isn't being brought in to replace Jacobs one for one. Zamir is moving up the depth chart, leaving a hole that Mattison <may> fill. Or a...

What is the contingency plan if Rogers decides to be run for VP of America?

The work ethic and approach to the game overall of Crosby was one thing. Having two guys like that now has to be even more contagious. I think the Wilkins addition is going to be paying off even before the first snap of the season.

Oh my comments aren't a measure of AOC, but more so the rip the Raiders would take for trading him away. Pittsburgh just got patted on the back, and celebrated, for trading away a former 1st round pick (that they made!) into a situation that all but torpedo's his career... because Pickett...
