2024 Las Vegas Raiders thread - Brock party (3 Viewers)

[Chadstroma]

Rumors swirling that the Rams and Eagles are both scrambling to move up from picks 19 and 20. Rams supposedly are trying to move into top 10, which makes me think they are targeting either Nix or Penix. Thinking this is gonna be a wild draft for trades. Buckle up.

It feels like 1-2 are locked in..... 3 semi locked..... and after that.... all bets are off.

 

[Chadstroma]

I dunno.... I haven't spent any time on this draft class. I haven't even done my usual picking up one or two of those draft mags for reading material. I picked one up the other day and it was $17.... and I just couldn't stomach paying that much for a magazine..... then I felt like my grandfather all of a sudden.

If I'm paying 17 bucks for a magazine that better not be footballs doing the bouncing ...

I spend all my net time reading about what your cousin says.

 

[Chadstroma]

Penix to sit behind Cousins in ATL.

 

[WVU Alum]

OT! OT! OT!

 

[ZADO]

Here we go

 

[Hankmoody]

Well dang

 

[ZADO]

Well dang

???

 

[Hankmoody]

Well dang

???

Was hoping JJM might slip to us

Whoa pick is in that was fast

 

[ZADO]

Well dang

???

Was hoping JJM might slip to us

Im hoping OT

or a top D lineman

 

[DocHolliday]

Glad the Raiders don’t have to be tempted to reach for Nix.

 

[Hankmoody]

Love it

 

[ZADO]

WOW

what a weapon

 

[ICON211]

WOW. I can't be mad at this at all.

 

[Chadstroma]

Bowers.

 

[Chadstroma]

We better run a bunch of double TE formations.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

steal of the draft so far

 

[WVU Alum]

Did not see that coming

 

[Hankmoody]

I think the key though is don't bypass a BPA just because he isn't high on the need list. If Nabers is there you take him. Period. I'm about an inch from putting Bowers on this list too. I know we just drafted Mayer but Bowers is a different beast and they can both be on the field together. If the guy's special he's special and it's up to the coaching staff to take advantage of the strengths.

I called this a couple weeks ago. BPA and a special talent, you don't let that get past you regardless of need. Now the heat is on the coaches to make it work.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

I mean he's from Napa, CA sucks that our training camp is no longer there but we now have a Baby Gronk on the team

 

[LawFitz]

BPA.

I think Fuaga was the actual BPA, but I can't/don't hate the Bowers pick. Truly dynamic receiving TEs are rare and uber valuable.

Brock Bowers: The Best Tight End Prospect in NFL History​

 

[Chadstroma]

The one thing about Bowers is I think he has the least chance of being a bust.

 

[ZADO]

Throw the ROCK to BROCK

 

[32 Counter Pass]

Called it.

 

[LawFitz]

Bite your jinxing tongue!

 

[ZADO]

It feels like they had no interest in an OT or Defense

I think they wanted one of the QBs that went and took the next best offensive player available

The rest of the draft will be Oline and Defense IMO

 

[Hankmoody]

I won't tell you guys how braced I was to be crushed with disappointment as they announced our pick.

Of course I also don't have to tell you, you're Raider fans, you already know.

I don't think they thought Bowers would be there. This shows me they are willing to adjust to the situation that presents itself.

for years the Raiders have reached and never taken the best player on the board, this year we broke the mold and I'm here for it.

OT made more sense but Bowers was BPA. Can’t complain about this at all.

 

[joey]

Not sure how I feel. As usual, every single year, I’ll come around to seeing only positives with this pick.

BPA, can't complain about that. Was it a position of need, no, it's nice not to reach for a change!!!!

Maybe Mayer isn’t as great as hoped too.

Brock may be a generational talent, hes that good . Defensive coordinators are gonna have fits covering this offense

Could be.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Man I forget to tell you all how much I appreciate you, my stupid bookoffaces feed is full of raider fans complaining about the pick and how we should have drafted a QB or RB there instead of Bowers that is how the average fan thinks, thank god we have Zado's cousin to keep us grounded

 

[Chadstroma]

So... here is the question... do we take a look at one of the second tier QB's with our 2nd?

 

[joey]

I was literally going to wait til the end of the 1st round to ask the same question. Rattler in the 2nd?

I gotta say I’m not psyched about going into this season with AO’C and Minshew as our QB room.

 

[ICON211]

So... here is the question... do we take a look at one of the second tier QB's with our 2nd?

My answer would be no. So many good defensive players and offensive linemen should be there.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Rattler...Snake....Rattler I mean it makes sense

I think Mayer is good... Bowers may be great... if we use both of them intelligently then that can do some damage. No other NFL team has two TE's of this talent level. I am hopomg for a Gronk/Hernandez type of impact (minus the murder, jail and suicide obviously)

I still have no clue how good or bad that kid is but "Rattler" just sounds like a Raider QB

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

 

[ICON211]

Do we pick after the Falcons in the second round? They may be eying up Rattler for their second pick. I'm still stunned and baffled that they took Penix.

Mayer as the in-line TE and Bowers as the move TE.

 

[IHEARTFF]

Payback for all the Kelce open field runs flashed before my eyes when you guys got Bowers. Ugh that’s such a good pick and going to suck as a KC fan to try to stop him.

Wow. Thanks for posting this. Nice to hear an “outsider” say positive things about a Raiders pick.

It doesn’t make sense to have 2 good TEs if our offensive style wants to be more smash mouth.
