Any Dline or Oline help is fine with me. Take the best of whomever is available.

This roster is so devoid of talent that Spytek could pick almost any position and it'd be a huge improvement over the current playerDeathStar24 wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 9:56 am Any Dline or Oline help is fine with me. Take the best of whomever is available.

This is my take as well. If you cant get your QB, then draft the nastiest hogs and pigs you can find to build your trenches. You need a strong back/core before your hands and feet do you any goodRunOverByHubbard wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 8:41 am We need a QB in a bad way, but if the one we want is gone, I would take Peter Woods (DT) of Clemson or Francis Mauigoa (OT) of Miami. At this point, they are the two safest choices in the draft for what we need the most-- help on the lines.

I'm all aboard the Bain train as well.haji81872 wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 12:20 pm Ruben Bain would have to be drafted before I looked at Woods. Then I would think Woods or an OT.

if we draft at 6 as we are slated right now, Bain is gone well before we pick

Lol...so these dingleberries are actually throwing a theory around that, we are eyeing a qb that can't even be drafted for what, 2-3 more years?

Arvelle Reece is starting to show up as the Titans number one pick. Then three QBs going to QB needy teams. Giants I think look to offense and take Tyson.Attyla wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 1:44 pm if we draft at 6 as we are slated right now, Bain is gone well before we pick

I've only seen his highlights, which can be really misleading. But from what I've seen it looks like they move him around a lot, kind of like we've done with our last bust at the position.Attyla wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 9:41 am I don't think Woods has been a disappointment. I think he has not had enough help on the line. When you can double team an interior lineman like teams have been able to do, the problem is not the guy getting the double team.
If we're going DT I want a big boy that can beat the crap out of an interior double team in college; a man among boys like Mack was when we drafted him.

He was projected to possibly be the #1 pick and is dropping like a lead balloon.Opoponax50 wrote: Fri Nov 14, 2025 7:07 am I've only seen his highlights, which can be really misleading.

Yep... and I would still take a couple of QB's as depth/projects.Xramfan wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 12:05 pm This is my take as well.

If that is what's going on, Julian Sayin has to be in the conversation... IMO.Hellbound wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 8:46 pm Lol...so these dingleberries are actually throwing a theory around that, we are eyeing a qb that can't even be drafted for what, 2-3 more years?

I would imagine the Raiders are interested in any QB that can form a sentence & has a Pulse lolrcraider wrote: Sat Nov 15, 2025 4:51 am Well according to Hondo, if you buy any of his takes, the Raiders are very interested in Mendoza, and also Ty Simpson
