The Oakland Raiders 2015 Draft Thread

Quake Griffin · Post #101 » by **Quake Griffin** » Fri May 1, 2015 3:46 pm

I want another 2nd rounder and I want to grab Maxx Williams man.

He's going to be a really good TE in this league.
solid pass catcher and eats the run game.

i don't see him coming to us at 35.
but he's worth trying to get an extra 2nd to grab him.

He'll definitely be there at 35, fwiw. Bucs have ASJ, Titans have Delanie Walker and need a WR, badly. I'd feel comfortable dropping as low as 40 to land Maxx, btw. No teams in the 33-40 range besides us have a big need at TE. St. Louis at 41 does, but they still have Cook/Kendricks. But after that, he's as good as gone. ATL, CLE, NO, MIN, SF are picks 42-46. Maxx doesn't make it past them.

St. Louis has some serious OL issues, and TJ Clemmings is on the board. If they give us their their 4th (41+119), that would satisfy the NFL draft pick value chart.. A more realistic option is Carolina though, trading 57/89 for our 2nd.

Oh i knew Leonard had a rotator cuff surgery.

He has a torn labrum in both shoulders?
WHOA.

Mine is PARTIALLY torn in my left shoulder and my shoulder hops out from time to time. NO THANK YOU!

Bucs rumored to take a T (Fisher, Clemmings) and Titans rumored to take a WR (DGB, Strong, Smith, Lockett).. with so many potential picks on board, I hope Reggie really loves someone, or trades down. If Bucs do take a tackle, there's a sizeable gap between Fisher/Clemmings and the next OT. You hear me Carolina? A sizeable gap. Otherwise, enjoy your movie star LT who wasn't good enough for Tennessee.

Day 2 getting started.

BPA or need?

Quake Griffin · Post #106 » by **Quake Griffin** » Fri May 1, 2015 11:17 pm

Giants threw a wrench in that plan by trading up and getting Landon Collins.
I'm not in love with Collins like that. That's a waste for them.

Donovan Smith to the Bucs.
we can go pass rusher, maxx, rowe…etc. etc.

the world is our oyster here.

Is that a good pick? Mario Edwards Jr? I've no idea who this guy is.

Quake Griffin · Post #108 » by **Quake Griffin** » Fri May 1, 2015 11:29 pm

not in love with that pick.

seemed like a reach to me. I never knew him to be mocked that high.
He's a project. I guess he went with the upside this kid has and thinks Norton can motivate him since Norton has a reputation for doing that.

again, not in love with the pick.

Not a fan at all. Huge recruit with mediocre results. We're hoping Tuck can player-coach him up, I guess. We'll see. Some people had him as a late 1st fwiw

I can't link it bc on my phone, but La Canorfa has a write up on Edwards that gives me hope

DE-Markus Golden from Missouri to the Cardinals at #58. I was hoping he'll last to the 4th Round =/

RoyalMajesty · Post #112 » by **RoyalMajesty** » Sat May 2, 2015 1:18 am

DE-Randy Gregory to the Cowboys at #60. He got anxiety issues, depression, marijuana problems, a liar, and mentally is not there. If we would have drafted him, it's going to take a lot of work just to make sure he can stay out of trouble.

RoyalMajesty · Post #113 » by **RoyalMajesty** » Sat May 2, 2015 1:39 am

I don't know what's the situation with our offensive line, but I would look at LT-Jeremiah Poutasi from Utah in the 4th Round and kick him to RG or if LT/LG-La'el Collins continues to drop, I'll use a 6th Round Pick on him and kick him to RG.

LT=Donald Penn & Menelik Watson
LG=Gabe Jackson & Khalif Barnes
C=Rodney Hudson
RG=Jeremiah Poutasi/La'el Collins & Kevin Boothe
RT=Austin Howard & J'Marcus Webb/Matt McCants

PEACE OUT TONY BERGSTROM!

RoyalMajesty · Post #114 » by **RoyalMajesty** » Sat May 2, 2015 1:44 am

Are you kidding me?! LT-Jeremiah Poutasi from Utah just got drafted by the Titans at #66 as soon I was writing that post LOL!

Quake Griffin · Post #115 » by **Quake Griffin** » Sat May 2, 2015 1:52 am

I liked Clive Walford from the jump.

I liked Maxx a little bit better. I didn't think we were looking TE at this point but we got him at a pretty good spot.

I actually like that pick.

YOU GUYS WANTED CARR TO HAVE WEAPONS!
BOOM. WEAPONS!

Post #116 » by **FNQ** » Sat May 2, 2015 2:03 am

Walford is a college version of Gresham, with the upside Gresham had. He never fully became the catcher everyone thought, but did become the blocker.

Love it. Means less Rivera and more run blocking. I would have preferred Poutasi, Cann, or Strong though.

I dont see how Bergstrom makes the roster regardless.. Even at his salary, you can find a UDFA scheme fit who is better

Maybe there's more to it than that.

honestly, the only difference for an average person in LA versus SD in terms of life style is the median age.

That's just crazy. LA and SD are completely different.

okay then, tell me, for an AVERAGE person dwelling in those cities who does not indulge in Hollywood scenes or not a part of some gangbang crew, how does their life style vary? Im from LA and been to SD often and I frankly cannot tell.

Just realized we have Edward's D-line coach at FSU on our staff, Sunseri. He has to be the guy that lobbied for this pick.

guy is supposedly unmotivated. Might be because he had to gain a ton of wait to play DT, instead of playing at a smaller weight and playing DE. I'd be gassed and giving up on plays too with all that extra weight on me.

Not saying I've done a 180 and love the pick all of a sudden. He wasn't what i was looking for. Just saying there might be a method to the madness and he has a chance of working out.

Only 21 years old too.
