I’d feel better with one of those three you mentioned even if their skills have declined. The hope is Bennett can be a starter but whether he can’t due to performance or injury, it would be nice to have a guy like Gilmore to turn to.

I think CB is their thinnest spot right now. I’m not sold on Bennett or Facsyon either. Shoot, Jack Jones still needs to show more IMO. Let’s see how he does as a day one starter. I’d like to see them make a run at Gilmore. A solid vet would do a lot to solidify that group. The guys they...

I think they’re temporarily satisfied at QB with Brown and Bradley as their developmental guys. It would make no sense to bring in another vet. AOC and Minshew are going to battle it out and I bet throughout the season we’ll see both guys start games at some point.

Exactly, in 4 months if he makes the team, no one will care or even remember when he was drafted.

White is safe for sure but Abdullah better watch his back because Laube looks like Austin Ekeler. If anyone has 10 mins to kill, check out his highlights, he’s an intriguing prospect.

I am a little concerned that other people picked up on this. I thought it was just me. He said more than once “the next couple years “ with the Raiders. You plan on going somewhere before your 5th year option kid??? Very strange…. I’m sure it’s nothing, just a young and awkward kid.

According to Hondo, Glaze had a great Senior Bowl and responded well to NFL coaching. He’s also a swing tackle that they badly need after losing Elumoneur and everyone’s favorite Brandon Parker. So we’ll see, after hitting it out of the park with the first two picks, a slight reach in the 3rd is ok.

Great pick!

They let the draft come to them. With all the QBs going, a top rated player was going to fall and that’s exactly what happened. I know we’re not used to seeing good drafting so it was more surprising to me than head scratching. Surprised in the sense that they actually went BPA instead of...

We should be doing cartwheels this morning. The Raiders didn’t reach, they actually did the opposite. They got a value pick. In 2026 when Bowers is being considered one of the best young TEs in the NFL; no one will care if he was a need at the time he was picked. All I can say is after watching...

Or Thayer Mumford is better than some of us think. Fuaga was sitting right there.

It could be a “boring “ evening for the average Raider fan. There’s a good possibility they stay put at 13, draft the best RT and be done for the night. That doesn’t mean they didn’t try to trade up of Daniels or trade back in the end of the 1st for Penix. Just means there’s a high possibility...

Daniels was on the NightCap with Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Cinco last night. Even he said as much as he wants to play for AP it’s highly unlikely they will trade up to #2 to get him. He also said he would be happy to play for whoever drafts him. So the whole Commanders group visit rubbing him the...

I’ll check out the one Daniel Jeremiah puts out the day before the draft. Last year it was pretty accurate, and he had the inside info to predict Cards/Texans trades. This year, he has Penix going to the Raiders at 13 in his last two mocks. I’ll be curious to see if he sticks with that.

I think we’re underestimating the AOC/Minshew QB battle. I’m already mentally preparing myself for one of these guys to be the starter in 2024. Even if they draft a guy like Penix, he’s going to have to blow the coaching staff away and play so well they will have no choice but to start him. Not...

Agreed, but they are under a new regime so they’re kind of a wildcard. I see Howell as insurance same as Minshew is to the Raiders. Hopefully that’s reason enough for them to look elsewhere in the 1st round. But who knows….

I don’t think there’s any question he has the arm and football IQ to be a starter in the NFL, it’s the injury history. He’s been healthy two years straight so let’s go! Just not at #13. Seattle worries me at #16 because his former college coach is there now but if they pass I’d love to see them...

FWIW Andre James said something interesting in his press conference yesterday. To paraphrase, he said he’s looking forward to who they add to the offensive line through the draft. He obviously knows something, and where they decide to draft the Olineman or men is the question. The more I think...

If they give up the farm for Jayden Daniels then we’ll know for sure how much clout AP has with the organization, which would be a lot. If they stay at 13, play it conservatively, draft a RT, most likely that’ll be Telesco doing his thing like in years past. That pick will speak volumes as to...

He’s got the best arm in the draft class, he’ll get over drafted by someone who’s desperate for a QB. If it weren’t for the injuries, he’d be top 3. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
