Walker looks lost

[BoJacksonRules]

I’m just a fan, but this dude looks like he has no instincts out there. Probably just better having him blitz if they’re going to have him on the field. Do you all think he’s good, serviceable or what? Ditto my comments for Stokes

[MexicanHulk]

Yes.

Wondering if we should double up this offseason.

Sign a DT (Buckner or Payne) and draft the best DT in the draft.

Shiet, they need to triple up. I, we all been screaming for DT’s the past couple years & got none. Except Wilkins but, we don’t need to talk about that.

Getting those two, even tho a bit older (Buckner), would go a long way to not pigeonholing the team into DT at anyone one spot. Because as bad as I want multiple DT’s & a shitkicking DL, they desperately need a good boundary WR &, this draft is great for in the 1st round. Raiders need that as bad as DTs.

[RunOverByHubbard]

Speaking of DTs, is there any news on the Wilkins compensation saga?

I looked up Christian Wilkins and cannot find any resolution for his grievance but it says this: In total, Wilkins received $49.7 million of his original contract, playing in just five games for the Raiders. Raiders signed Wilkins to a four-year deal worth $110 million, with $84.75 million guaranteed.He played in just five games for the Raiders so he go $10 million per game. Wilkins and major head case Chandler Jones were hopefully the bottoming out of our beloved franchise. Wilkins was 2024-25 (just last year and it feels like five years ago). Jones was 2023. We have signed so many free agent busts and problems!

I agree Walker hasn't looked good.....I think Chinn has been one of the best on our defense this season...His tackling has been exceptional imo.

[vtraider]

I've been messing around with mock drafts since the trade. And honestly unless there's a couple players there I trade down in the first and end up doubling up on DT and guard getting a wr and an edge

Ah, the magic "trade down" pill. So hard to do that with any certainty not knowing who is coming out, what was done in free agency and not knowing if other teams want to trade up and what they are willing to give for it.

I remember some on the board here saying how much Chinn sucks. It’s just Raiders fan bias. Mmhmm. Chinn never sucked & was always at least a solid starter. Still is. Hopefully he has another couple productive years like this left. So the Raiders can draft an heir apparent to team up with Stukes for the foreseeable future.

True. It's not like I'm drafting for real though. It was more of an I'm focusing on what our current most pressing needs are.

Gotta remember Mex. It was "Trash" and "Garbage"!

If any of us are ever drafting for real, heaven help this franchise. Trading picks is tricky. And one of the reasons teams wait until the draft to even trade the first overall pick is there is so much late info that pops up that can move the needle. But this draft, I am not certain we want to move around much at least early in the draft. There are going to be a lot of receivers but the high end has some real gems

[raider_kin]

So are we overlooking Crawford? He was a 3rd

[DanKD]

Its almost like we will have three 3rd round picks next year!

Who knows what we have in him since he got hurt so early

True. And the couple players that when I was messing around with it that I didn't trade down were a couple receivers and one DT. Even messing around with it I did notice that currently (and yes currently) that guard was top heavy dt you could find good ones down to the beginning of the fourth Rd. Wr the tip top is great. Then it goes to good after the first couple. But good ones can be had until the third Rd as well. It all depends on how the team feels about what needs are the biggest. I think we need a minimum of 2 dt, 2 guard, 1 edge (taking into account the one we drafted this year) and 1 wr though I would prefer 2. The ones needing 2 can be one high and 1 lower. But I think we should get 2 of them if at all possible.


I do these just to goof off and it gives me names to check out that I am not too familiar with. Mostly offensive line since if you hear their name in a broadcast it means they screwed up.

You’re not alone, I too was messing around with mock drafts the last couple days, killing some time. It’s fun with the bonus of getting to know players early. I’ve been also looking at positions of need and a trade down, or up for that matter, can have good outcomes depending on the strength of your team heading into a draft. It’s not a one size fits all scenario.

So are we overlooking Crawford? He was a 3rd

Problem with Crawford is he is coming off a torn Achilles, that type of injury usually takes longer to come back from, I haven't seen many that are effective the year after, especially at his position.

Damn I didn't know it was the Achilles
