The raiders are entertaining trade offers and hoping to trade down

Miami, raiders

It’s a pipe dream imo…..but that would be incredible. I don’t see us being that fortunate

but getting Van Pran that late would be. I’ve- 😂

like I said.

@LEBills @GASabresIUFan my point solely has to do with drafting players that they have additional insight on from trusted coaches. McD did it with Zay Jones too. It’s has nothing to do with being from particular schools. Rather knowing (or employing coaches) that have experience with the player. There’s obviously more to it than that- but when the situation arises it could come into play.

I think you’re missing the point here. It’s not that Beane/McD care about the school they play for. They care about the insight they are getting from their college coaches. College coaches that can vouch for players fitting the criteria he and the scouts set for the pick. They don’t have to go off a couple interviews and what they hope to be true. They can go off what these coaches already know to be true.

I don’t care enough to look into it 😉 I don’t see him being an option this offseason, but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anything is possible, but his cap hit is 24M this year. If they trade him, it’s 36M

Yup

Different strokes for different folks. I usually just listen to it as I do other things

Do you really believe this to be true? I don’t.

Yeah there’s lots of garbage everywhere, no doubt. That’s why you pick what you like. Can’t stand Smith on tv but his WR breakdowns offer some insight. He knows more about the position than most. He understands pacing and the nuances of running routes that most YTers don’t understand. You’re right, I don’t think he watches a ton of tape- probably just highlights. Simms, meh. He says it how he sees it, which is a usually much different than most. I think he watches some tape. I really enjoy the Bootleg guys. They grind tons of tape. Good and bad. Brugler is my favorite- there’s a lot more Brugler content on YT this year.

I used to watch espn too….when it wasn’t terrible. Now I skim YouTube and watch what I choose to watch as opposed to what one channel is force feeding me. There are plenty of YT channels worth watching with regards to the draft/prospect information. This time of year I usually dive deeper into the later round prospects

Mansfield Wrotto was a better QB than you are a thread starter

Copy that. I hear ya.

Yeah I’d be ok with him at the end of rd 4. I really like his fit, he’s young (20) and I like his interviews. Ok. Are there any potential UDFA’s that you have your eyes on?

Cool. I’m confidant he’ll get drafted before rd 6. id be thrilled with him in rd 5 and believe he’ll go rd 4, maybe 3

That would make me sad. My favorite player in the draft + the speed of Hollywood. They’d be a nice pairing with the felon

Polk is MY guy!!! Get a new guy! 😉 Latu is the biggest question mark. He’s the best pass rusher in the class imo. His injury history is scary. A top 10 talent that could slip to the mid 20’s, maybe 30’s (according to some). Would LOVE to land Latu at 28 and then trade up for Polk (or another WR) in rd 2.

I agree, but I’d be really happy with him in rd 2. He’s very intriguing to me. Playing with 17 would be incredible for him. Not a fan of drafting zero DL or OL in the first 4 rounds. I think there’s little chance of Allen falling to 128.

I think he’s closer to rd 3 than rd 6.

His 30M cap hit in 2024 turns into 113M. I don’t think it’s possible.
