Tom Flores is our current best ever to wear 15. Pickett had the number last year but he is a FA so I doubt it is an issue if Mendoza wants that number. Sometimes college guys change the number when the move up.

Maybe he'll take 12 for the guy that inspires him the most....Brady.

Though he was 15 in high school and Cal.

I am optimistic that FM15 could find success with our receiving group like he did with Indiana’s with less than a year to work with them.

If we get the right HC and offensive scheme in place with Brock, Mayer, Jeanty on some when routes and a of good vet WR the nightmare of 2025 will far behind us.
Mendoza had a great game but there were a couple throws I was referring to that our receivers may not have made. I hope you are right but we need more help at receiver. Tucker is decent, Bech we haven’t seen enough yet and Thornton is iffy. Jeanty is proving to be solid out of the backfield, and Bowers is all world. I’m not convinced Mayer is with us next year but I hope he is.
We need a couple more to have a reliable offense through the air. Hopefully Mendoza elevates everyone’s play.

What he can accomplish with slow 40’s guys with great hands at least widens what we can fill the WR room with. Has me thinking Bech will make a big jump next year. Not sure about Thornton either. I like Tucker, but even Mendo can’t make him taller. Mike Evans happens to be a FA, be a nice get that pairs well if he doesn’t price himself astronomically.

I haven’t dug into draft profiles enough yet, but I do see that two of the Hoosiers’ starting WRs Sarratt and Cooper will be coming out. Unfortunately Sarratt is being slotted as a 2nd Rounder where I’m hoping we’d get OL help. Cooper though is looking to be a 3rd-4th.

We need one guy who can sky because Mendoza does throw high on certain throws to ensure the receiver is the only one with a chance at the ball, and these tend to be endzone passes

Was listening to WiFi Willie this morning and he said exactly that on Sarrat. I think he’s going to be really good but depending on FA I think O line needs more help. I would be ecstatic if we could get 4-5 starters in FA and another 3 in the draft as well as this years rookies to become assets.
We need to surround Mendoza with some talent. Hopefully we progress each year for the next few to get us into the dance.

Mendoza doesn't have strenght in his throws. He Will be a bust. He reminds me to Joey Harrington and Matt Leinart. He Will be a bust.

I have seen all Raiders games since 30 years ago. Maybe only Raiders since my kids were born.

But I know you like to attack people instead of trying to establish a dialogue, so I'll pass...
