Me too. Solid day two. Surprised Moehrig lasted that long but smart to trade up and grab him. I have to learn more about both guys they grabbed in the 3rd, and how they will fit in to Bradley’s system, but initial reports give me some hope these guys can play.I'm cool all around!!
Walter Football like them both decently, way more than Scouts Inc do. I tend to trust Scouts Inc, they have better historical accuracy based on my experience but it's all still one big semi-educated guess.Me too. Solid day two.

We didn't do so bad with the last Buffalo pick we madeTaking a designated pass rusher, and a S to LB hybrid nickel LB type guy is exactly the kind of spots I'm glad they went after.
Whether they are good remains to be seen, I didn't watch much Buffalo University football this year.
But if Divine is the type we can put on a TE, that's good, because TE's just eat vs the Raiders. Coverage specialist is a need, fo sho.
If we can create a pass rush with a rotational wave, like the Eagles used to do, I could see that. Maxx, Ferrell, Ngakoue, Koonce, and just throw fresh legs at an offense, it might be an improvement.
Either way, I'm happy they threw a lot at the problem.
Michael Carter. This guy could be really good.Running back. A late round RB could beat out Jalen Richard.
two 5th, a 6th, and a 7th.They still need inside LB depth. OL. Could definitely use some more love. No more safety tweener guys. They have enough.
There are 5 TE’s, 47 DL. Probably good there. They dumped the 4th qb sometime in last month, so Gruden will draft some kid, no one’s heard of.
How many picks today? 3?
Not giving up a 3rd anyway.two 5th, a 6th, and a 7th.
I could see them getting antsy, and trading picks next year. I hope they don't.
I wouldn’t mind a DT pick, there are just so many on the roster atm. But some hungry young kid, might be great. Lotta cuts coming on the DLTommy Togiai is a favorite DT of mine, I'd like to see him go to LV.
A DT feels like an unlikely pick, but he could beat out Philon.
There's only 4 names that really matter, Irivng, Hankins, Jefferson, Thomas. It's probably enough, but there's a lil opening for someone.I wouldn’t mind a DT pick, there are just so many on the roster atm. But some hungry young kid, might be great. Lotta cuts coming on the DL
Solid. 4.38 and 4.40 at his pro day.Tyree Gillespe.
Another S, ran a 4.43.
This was range he was projected. Not a reach. Amazing.
Hope he beats out Heath.
Mayock said speed "bendy" DE type rusherI'll throw in my two cents here as a Buffalo football diehard fan who's seen (most likely?) all of Koonce's games. He's a tremendously productive player....kinda slowly came on the scene over the years and became a mainstay, always in the mix making plays. He was pretty neck-and-neck in terms of production with his counterpart Taylor Riggins as the other DE in the defense....Riggins missed the entire fall 2020 season with an injury, you'd think Koonce would struggle with more attention thrown his way, but he excelled more than anyone ever expected. He did not miss a beat despite more double teams etc.
He is nowhere near the flash player that a guy like Khalil Mack was. The UB defense has been very strong for G5 football standards, and at times, he didn't standout in the way that a true superstar like Mack did. But he was always good to make a few plays a game, a key sack or forced fumble, hurrying and pressuring QBs. Solid, consistent, productive, though perhaps not a game-changer player.
I am curious to see how they use him. I saw him more as a 3-4 OLB in the NFL. Long and lanky but perhaps a bit undersized compared to today's 4-3 DEs. He's listed around 250 but honestly, he "plays smaller" than that, if that makes sense. I think his best fit off the bat is a 3rd down pass rush specialist. But I do think he has solid long-term NFL potential.

Solomon Thomas will perform better now that he is not being forced to play out of position like he was in SF, is healthy and not battling depression/grief (his sister committed suicide).I wouldn’t mind a DT pick, there are just so many on the roster atm.

Let’s not go there.We didn't do so bad with the last Buffalo pick we made
3 and a LB.4 dbs.
Potentially we took a Defensive Back group that was lacking a starting FS and depth, filled that out, got flexibility, a guy who potentially can cover TE's that are hard to match up with (Kelce) and created depth.Nate Hobbs, CB. Sick athlete, had played press and C-3, which fits the team. Tall.
Another good pick. Or....reasonable.
You can see roster slots for all these guys.
DE. Koonce will play DE for us.3 and a LB.
We covered D Line in free agency.
This was always gonna be the draft for us
No such thing in today's NFL, in particular those that can fill a little bit.Solid. 4.38 and 4.40 at his pro day.
enough safeties.
Divine is a LB. 236 pounds.Y’all make me think I’m losing my mind
they drafted 4 dbs.
moehrig, deablo, Gillespie and hobbs
I'm not guessing. He was announced as a LB and he said he was playing Will.he played db in college
we’ll see
Yup, Mayock confirmed Deablo at WILL and Koonce at DE.Divine Deablo said #Raiders will use him as a WILL LB.
I’m not doubting you. I don’t buy positional changes, until they’re on the field. And teams call players what they want to, for PR reasons. see Bowden, dude is a wr.I'm not guessing. He was announced as a LB and he said he was playing Will.
Honestly, that's the PR cover that Gruden comes in and ####s up all the scouts hard work.https://twitter.com/ChrisReed_NFL/status/1388563789633757189
It doesn't sound like there's any disconnect in Raiders front office/coaches to me.
I hope the LB works out. They nee d some more bodies at the ILB position.Current FA signings
RB Garrett Groshek
WR DJ Turner
LB Max Richardson
DB TJ Morrison
No way this happens. And I want nothing to do with him. The cost would decimate the raiders for years to come. Similar to the Herschel walker trade.
Exactly. They are going to ask for a king's ransom for a 37 year old QB. No thanks. No doubt he is significantly better than Carr but how many years does he have at MVP type level? Not many. Meanwhile, we gut our team to do it? No.No way this happens. And I want nothing to do with him. The cost would decimate the raiders for years to come. Similar to the Herschel walker trade.
what do you think it would take? Would they even want Carr?
carr/waller/and some Combo of 2022 and 2023 2024 1st rounders maybe more
No thanks
