Yeah, I am coming around to the Pickett deal. And to the idea that Tom Brady and John Spytek know more than I do about football.

I don't think it is a rental, it is more like a 5th round selection but with more upside. When you select a 5th, you are hoping you generally get a depth player that plays ST and maybe you get lucky with more. A quality backup QB is not what you typically are getting with a 5th. They have a year to see what they got. If they like it then they can resign and then let him and AOC fight it out in the off season. I see no downside to this for costing a 5th.

Who has been on a better team? Pickett, by a wide margin IMO.
And, has Pickett in any way performed better than AOC?
IMO the Steelers went 14-10 in spite of Pickett, not because of him.

Yet somehow he has better stats than Pickett across the board.
And I kinda agree, but the same applies to Pickett.

AOC is like a bad golfer. Every once in a while he makes a great play. Otherwise he’s just bad. I’ve never seen Pickett play. Can’t be worse than the statue.

Practice squad. No Mellott.

agreed. Time to move on after this short experiment. Let AOC heal and come back as the 3rd QB, but have Miller on speed dial to call up from the Practice Squad if he shows growth in practices.

Stone Forsythe is clear upgrade over Thayer Munford for Raiders
Stone Forsythe is a clear upgrade over Thayer Munford at swing tackle for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Didn't realize how poorly Munford played this preseason. Disappointing end to the former upstart's Raiders tenure. I sense he never recovered mentally from losing his status to Glaze last year.

Also hearing good/great reviews of Pegues and Tonka preseason. This draft was supposedly uber-deep at DL. Hopefully the Raiders found a couple mid-late gems with these hosses. On top of looking like legit defenders, it'll be hilarious to see @joey meltdown weeks when one or both of them vulture G/L TDs from Jeanty!

Meltdown might be overdoing it, but I will admit that I root for my fantasy teams to win more than the raiders after 2+ decades of this crap.

At least not early. Hope AJ and Bald Bowser buck that trend.

I have Jeanty in 2 leagues (1 redraft, 1 dynasty), Bowers in 1 dynasty league, Meyers in 2 or 3 leagues (mix of dynasty and redraft). 1 Bech in dynasty and 0 Thornton or Tre but blind bid is next week and they’re both out there, so we’ll see.It’s easier just not to draft any raiders…Meltdown might be overdoing it, but I will admit that I root for my fantasy teams to win more than the raiders after 2+ decades of this crap.

More raiders than I prefer but I’m in more leagues than I should be as well so..

What a roller coaster to be a fringe nfl player.

Cuts were pretty easy this year.
I would probably prefer Munford over this Forsythe guy,. Wouldn't be surprised to see Munford stick around elsewhere as a swing tackle,but this is all part of the new coaches/their guys thing that we just gotta deal with. And I woulda liked to see Sincere stay, but he's not a special teams guy, and if the Raiders lost three RBs, they would sign a new guy anyhow, not like they would give Laube 20 carries.
But those are pretty minor quibbles.

Forsythe had some very ugly tape from last year. Hopefully he never sees the field.

Pats cut Jabril Peppers. With the loss of Lonnie Johnson, that's interesting.
