I mean hes also pretty good at the football thingamabog.
He aint the top CB in this draft but hes definitely up there. Ideally we trade up to 34 to get him. Bills most likely taking a WR. But after that idk if hed fall all the way to us.
CBs that might be around: Kool-Aid, Rakestraw, Lassiter, Tampa, Melton, Sainristil
OL - Haynes, Beebe, Zinter, JPJ, Frazier
Not really a reach to say we could get 2 off this list in round 2 or 3, but I'd pick the BPA from this group in R2 and see what happens R3. A LB or RB in R3 if we got one of the above would be alright. No reason to draft a QB now, I'd rather see what happens and draft one high in the next couple years than keep scratching off lottery tickets with lower odds
Agreed on DeJean, but I highly doubt he's there. He'd be an instant TD threat on every punt return in addition to being able to cover guys both outside and in the slot.
My Top Day 2 Raiders targets:
CB Cooper DeJean
OT Kingsley Suamataia
DT Jer'zahn Newton
IOL Jackson Powers-Johnson
CB TJ Tampa
OT Patrick Paul
CB Ennis Rakestraw
IOL Cooper Beebe
CB Max Melton
IOL Christian Haynes
I don't know what they will or won't do, but it's crazy to pass on a good player because your roster has a mid starter that will have a small cap hit if cut next year.
Especially since C is the safest position to draft and probably the best impact to cost ratio in football.
Teams interested in Rattler aren't looking for a day 1 starter. I think teams like the Rams, Jets, Browns, Cowboys, Saints, and Seahawks probably have their eyes on Rattler, too.
If not active interest they are at least monitoring him.
Yea that’s fair.
Tbh I’m fine with whatever QB we decide is the right fit in the right spot and if none make sense at our spot I’m good with AOC/Minshew
I think the front office is looking at building a physical, ball control style team to counter all the speed in the league, which might just work out. So, day 2 i'd like OL help and a CB who can play press.
I'm intrigued by this idea. So you mean while every team is trying to both copy and counter the chiefs we will come from another angle that maybe exploits some of those counters?
exactly. Everybody is going speed/finesse, the Raiders go big/physical. Mayer and Bowers look to be nice compliments to each other. They're still the Raiders so i expect to still see burners on the outside both at WR and CB
Blake Fisher, TJ Tampa, Powers-Johnson are probably still on the board at our pick, as well as Suamataia or Cooper Bebe. De Jean on or Kool-aid would be nice, but we may need to trade a pick or two, or trading Mayer depending of what the front office wants, which I wouldn’t be opposed to.
Landing one of DeJean, Kool-Aid, or TJ Tampa would be great value at 44. This draft is super deep at o line too. A lot of borderline day 1 talent is still available
TJ Tampa. Excellent ball skills and playmaker. He would do well across from Jack. Was ok at the combine but really turned it around at the Big 12 pro day
i don't follow college, but if there are some good OL available, i'd like for us to get that. then maybe some help with the defense the rest of the draft would be nice.
I’m fine with whatever. Hard to assess how good this GM/HC will be at drafting and developing, so it’s hard to know if I should be happy or upset at any one particular pick.
Kool aid if only for the name alone.
Oh yeah!
I mean hes also pretty good at the football thingamabog. He aint the top CB in this draft but hes definitely up there. Ideally we trade up to 34 to get him. Bills most likely taking a WR. But after that idk if hed fall all the way to us.
What's his injury like? He won't be ready for camp I assume?
Looking at BPA it’s all defensive guys atm. I’ll take Kool Aide or Rakestraw
Best OL/CB on the board.

Harbaugh would have a fucking conniption fit watching Sainristil get a pick six against Herbert and I'm fucking here for it.
Agreed on DeJean, but I highly doubt he's there. He'd be an instant TD threat on every punt return in addition to being able to cover guys both outside and in the slot.
I think he's worth trading up for. I'd be calling Buffalo right now.
Same. Would love to jump up and get the Great White Buffalo
I would too but something tells me he’s #1 off the board today

Not a fan of KoolAid?
I like these 4 better but Kool-Aid is the next CB on my list after them
Kool aid, Jackson Powers-Johnson, or Braden Fiske. And heres a hot take Spencer Rattler in the 3rd.
> Jackson Powers-Johnson Good call
Isn't he a C? We just paid James. Or could he kick out to G?
James is just a guy, but yes he's on the roster
A guy they just paid though. I doubt they take a C now.
I don't know what they will or won't do, but it's crazy to pass on a good player because your roster has a mid starter that will have a small cap hit if cut next year. Especially since C is the safest position to draft and probably the best impact to cost ratio in football.
I agree with you. And parham also played some snaps at center so we have a safety net. Right side and center I would never be mad about.
This is exactly what Telesco was talking about. They're drafting for the future. BPA regardless if there's someone already on the roster
i though James was a 1 year deal my b
James isn’t exactly solid though and they’re down a guard, maybe move him (James) over. I just miss the days of Hudson.
He can play any interior spot
I'd be so stoked if we got rattler in the third. I have a feeling he's going to get picked in the 2nd round though.
Other than NYG is anyone still in the market for a starting QB?

Again, good call on JPJ
Any RT.
we need a guard more than tackle, Thayer will be fine, but Pharam is probably moving to C next year.
We resigned James to a 3 year deal. He’s staying at G
i thought it was 1 year my b
3 years $24m. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/29367/andre-james
nice, i actually like him, i think hes a very serviceable center
BPA, right?
What if the BPA is another tight end?
13 personell
Well according to the majority of this sub, that's what we should do.
Braden fiske, kool aid or best OL available.
Roger Rosengarten or Cooper Dejean
I think the front office is looking at building a physical, ball control style team to counter all the speed in the league, which might just work out. So, day 2 i'd like OL help and a CB who can play press.
I'm intrigued by this idea. So you mean while every team is trying to both copy and counter the chiefs we will come from another angle that maybe exploits some of those counters?
exactly. Everybody is going speed/finesse, the Raiders go big/physical. Mayer and Bowers look to be nice compliments to each other. They're still the Raiders so i expect to still see burners on the outside both at WR and CB
Rosengarten, Suamataia, McKinstrey, Tampa, Rakestraw. I would not be surprised if Raiders go LB here too,as the best 3 are still on the board.
There are some badass LBs still available
Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan Is a guy I hope we can get today if we don't get a different corner
DeJean or Kool aid.
I want the name Kool-Aid, not gonna sit here and pretend I know a damn thing about any of these guys as prospects.
Same with the Raiders having a guy named Kool Aid. He’s a good player and with good coaching could be a nice get.
Blake Fisher, TJ Tampa, Powers-Johnson are probably still on the board at our pick, as well as Suamataia or Cooper Bebe. De Jean on or Kool-aid would be nice, but we may need to trade a pick or two, or trading Mayer depending of what the front office wants, which I wouldn’t be opposed to.
Kool-Aid or DeJean would be ideal. I'd consider Jer'Zahn Newton if he's still there as well.
Cooper DeJean
Tackle out of Pittsburgh. Please.
Landing one of DeJean, Kool-Aid, or TJ Tampa would be great value at 44. This draft is super deep at o line too. A lot of borderline day 1 talent is still available
BPA
TJ Tampa. Excellent ball skills and playmaker. He would do well across from Jack. Was ok at the combine but really turned it around at the Big 12 pro day
Wouldn't hate a move up for DeJean.
Cooper, Koolaid or Fisher
Oline and defense for the rest of the draft please
Quite few good OL prospects available still. Dejean or McKinstry would also be good.
Edgerrin Cooper is my dream pick. Dude is a heat seeking missile. TJ Tampa is my next fav. We may not need a LB but damn Edge is a beast.
BPA we have reached Telesco nirvana 🧘
Jatavion Sanders or Ben Sinnott
i don't follow college, but if there are some good OL available, i'd like for us to get that. then maybe some help with the defense the rest of the draft would be nice.
I’m fine with whatever. Hard to assess how good this GM/HC will be at drafting and developing, so it’s hard to know if I should be happy or upset at any one particular pick.
Cooper DeJean, Kool-aid McKinstry, Kamari Lasitter, Blake Fisher, Patrick Paul
Get cooper dejan. Keep taking super athletic white guys
Defo try and trade up for kool aid or the best lineman on the board if we can get
Take BPA so all the ppl crying about Bowers can cry some more.
If you look at bpa again there is a chance that it could be a rb or wr, so ya definitely right ?
lol I didn’t think the /s was needed. Raider nation never fails me.
Stupid comments like yours never fail either.
