Should Raiders Target Tee Higgins & Trey Smith? + Interesting Patrick Graham Rumor..

Why investing so much capital on a wr? Doesn't make sense, we have Brock 1, Jakobi 2, Tre 3 and Mayer TE Better invest in a decent RB

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

@@masch9313 Because there's far more decent to good RBs in the draft than there are wide receivers. Getting a true WR1 (no offense to Jakobi, but he's a good WR2) eases the load for Brock, and Jakobi leading to more opportunities to push the ball downfield and score points.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Sanjit has a bias and a certain amount of experience covering both Oline and Dline, so it can sort of be excused why he'd bring it up for this video in regards to Trey Smith. But the Raiders guards aren't terrible, they're mid if even slightly above average. Their pass pro is good, run blocking is slightly improving too, so it's not really needed to go for a guard compared to a tackle. Kolton's getting older but he's still performing well not that he seems to have put the shoulder surgery behind him, though I think with Joe Philbin as Oline coach since the firing of the three coaches on offense, they have become more consistent in general. Glaze is solid in pass pro and trying to improve in run blocking but he's a rookie so it remains to be seen if he'll be a true starter that can be as good opposite of Kolton or be a level below him. JPJ as LG is great as long as he removes the urges to cause false starts. Meredith as a fill in LG when he was healthy was doing great too. Parham was inconsitent at guard due to injuries earlier in the season but he seems to be doing better now at least.

[@leroythemaster4268]

@@CopenorMcbrokeleg I listened to last weeks game on the radio. Big Linc said Parham threw a punch and that is when coach pulled him for a series. That seemed to spark the line up. Any opinion on that? Did you see it? Our line had their best game, even James was kicking ass.

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

@@leroythemaster4268 I don't recall seeing that tbh. But honestly it wouldn't surprise me if it happened. In essence he was also the reason why JPJ did the early snap in the Chiefs game that led to the loss too. All in all, I do think the Oline has improved once they got the 5 men holding it down and with Philbin taking over as the Oline coach. The Raiders could choose to draft a guard or a tackle in the draft, and they should go for at least one guy for it. But I don't think they're going to invest too heavily for that.

[@jayd503]

​@CopenorMcbrokeleg JPJ is a center brother, he just happened to be so good he can play just about any spot on the line if the raiders leave him @ guard then they need a center b'cuz Andre James AIN'T IT

PG is always up in the box calling plays. Defense is the strongest part of our team. Why pull him down from the box and add more shit to his plate by making him head coach? Thats my guess as to why they didn’t make PG head coach but who knows.

[@TaamuWright]

RAIDERS only need to fix the Offensive Line. That's the core of any football team. They need some help on Defensive Line and Linebackers as well 😊

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

I think the Dline when fully healthy will be really strong if they keep Butler and Koonce. You got Maxx, Wilkins, Butler, Koonce and guys developing to be the future in Chaisson, Laulu, and hopefully Tyree keeps improving too.

[@nofilterRaider]

Any great qb was only great bec of his oline.

[@CarlosPfister]

I disagree with you about your statements on guards. If its so easy to find a good guard, then why dont we have any?

[@tbaggins3296]

exactly, every year we pull from the oline FA and never works out

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

When JPJ isn't doing false starts, he's a great left guard. When Meredith took over as LG before he got injured he was doing quite good too. If anything it could be Parham at RG that may need to be replaced.

[@SanjitT]

We haven't invested in any young IOL since Jon Gruden took over. Every year there are 10 guys who go in rounds 3-7 that end up being very good IOL. It's a position that is easy to find if you invest into it.

Thanks, Sanjit. I'm concerned with our past when it comes to firing HC's right away when they don't succeed. Even though I agree with Mc Daniels firing and can see the logic behind an AP firing. What kind of message are we putting out to the upper echelon of HC candidates that if they don't succeed right away, even with major injury issues like this year, our fans scream fire them. And it tends to happen. Who is wanting to come here and be a HC except the fringe guy, (AP type) who would have no other offers? As it stands next year with our draft position and lack of QB talent next year, it might be the right call to run it back with AP and build the team through draft then see where we are next year.

[@coldcoffeetv9406]

The raiders probably can draft a couple of Tackles in the mid rounds and move them to guards. Look for specific measurables and technique and both guard positions can be filled on the cheap with young players with upside. Or maybe you draft early round Tackle and move Kolton inside as he gets older.
