[@misguidedangel6550]

By absolute luck. Bowers should have been gone to the Jets or sooner. That was 1 in a million pick last year, that doesn't happen often. Half of Raider Nation cried when we drafted Brock anyways because we already used a 2nd round pick last year on TE (who hasn't worked out that great). Besides if we didn't win the meaningless games last year we could have had Jayden

[@Allen-xy1us]

The Raiders o-line is ranked 27/32 in the NFL after this week which just happens to correlate with their overall team ranking as of week 17. We've failed to field either an elite o-line and/or defense for the better part of four decades. We get our hopes up via the occasional big name skill player/coach to boost ticket sales only to get them smashed every year. Our ownership and head office needs to do better!

[@azclaimjumper]

INJURIES all seas long has plagued the TEAM on both sides of the ball. No coach is going to be able to replace as many injured players as the Raiders have sustained throughout this season. To the team's credit they've almost eliminated penalties & turnovers the last two games - give credit where credit is due. A MUTINY among the entire Raider team of players asking to be traded will erupt IF upper management FIRES head coach, Antonio Pierce. It's never happened in sports, but it will happen within hours of announcing AP has been FIRED.

[@sfGiantsboi03]

Getting Jeanty would be phenomenal. He’s like a pocket sized Derrick Henry, David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs mixed into 1.

[@uso_Jus2SmooTh94]

I'm 💯 percent with drafting Jeanty. I don't see us having a chance to draft Ward or Sanders without losing too much. Hopefully we find a diamond in the rough in the 2nd rd or later for QB. Just like how we went with the best available player in Bowers. Let's take Jeanty.

[@jsalga]

Hell Yes!...Jeanty is a special talent fast, big, bulldozer type work horse a Bo Jackson type of RB. 😮

[@misguidedangel6550]

Let's not get carried away here

[@dizkrete]

Big? He's 5'9" 216lbs. Bo Jackson was around 6'1" 227lbs with world-class power and especially speed. Slow down on the comparisons a little. I'd like it if they take Jeanty too but I'm not delusional in comparing him to Bo Jackson.

Hopefully we can do that in FREE agency. Or with the 4 picks we have in round 2-4. After the season the Raiders just went through we need a "Sexy" draft pick like McMillian (or even Jeanty) since QB is off table in round 1. McMillian and Brock together for the next 8-10 years wud be sweet

Here's my off-season playbook. Trade back pick up extra picks. Take Ashton in the 1st, Milroe in the late 1st or 2nd ahead of Cle & Tenn. Take 2 G's in the 3rd or 1 & WR. Then another G n 4th or DT, G or T in the 5th

I agree with you 🙂

[@Raider-Izzy]

Jeanty and Dart

[@joeleon2222]

Where do you get your gear?? 😢

[@brandonchristopher9657]

Just a little heads up for anybody who should understand how the NFL draft works. There are five positions that are worth drafting in the first round. It's quarterback tackle defensive lineman pass rusher cornerback and wide receiver/ tight end. Those are the most valuable positions in the game cuz those are game changing because you could find an elite running back in the third 4th or 5th round almost every single year. Those other positions are usually gone in the first two rounds, so you're never going to see a smart general manager drafting a running back or any of the other positions unless they already have filled a lot of the other ones with elite players

[@NicNacYT]

Ashton Jenty if will Johnson is gone because we won’t get the top 2 qb’s

[@misguidedangel6550]

Drafting a CB really high rarely works out for the draft position.

[@kamadowoah4584]

I think johnson is can't miss, jalen ramsey type talent. Only injuries can bust him, he's elite.

[@KevinRodriguez-og4wd]

Injuries have busted him all through college

[@kamadowoah4584]

Yeah but injuries happen to young guys that often stop in adulthood.

[@Kourtneynj]

Nah b 😂 I want my jets to pick him!! I mocked the jets to trade with 2 teams last yr (LV & MIN) I was right on one 😂 But I had them picking Bowers not Olu. That being said, I can see a draft day trade between these teams.

[@billr3724]

Draft Hunter or McMillan to replace Davante. Then draft a guard in the 2nd or 3rd round. Don’t ignore the OLine.

[@R8erRay510]

Exactly what I'm thinking we already missed out on the QB's might as well build the OL, stack the defense & go the dominant run game approach with a strong defense, hopefully that can carry the QB we field next season

[@alphonsetrahan5496]

I agree.

[@CalumnMajor]

2:13 Dan Campbell got the 2nd overall pick for losing and traded Stafford for a kings ransom that got them where they are today. We would have to trade Crosby for anything similar and still somehow land a real QB to get any similar results.

[@EnFuego75Carlos]

[@eliw6607]

1st round: RJ Harvey 2nd round : Jalen Milroe

[@kenesealo7982]

Idk. A Jeanty comes once every 10 years kind of good but at the same time the rb position is very expendable. On top of that this rb draft class is so stacked. We could afford to draft a really solid starter in the 3rd or 4th round. I really want skattebo. His tape is crazy and he has carried his team against top 25 teams at times this season.

[@IssacVallejo760]

Where did you get that shirt? That thing is dope! I want one.

[@R8d3rTone]

Don’t trade up in this years draft, these QBs aren’t worth giving up multiple picks this year and future picks.

[@willmeggs]

Damn bro I was just thinking the same thing. People are hating because they say you can't drive the running back that early. We definitely need a running back and you have to draft one because running backs don't last very long and you got to get them while they're cheap on a rookie contract. We definitely learned that getting rid of Jacob's killed our running game and if we're not going to have an amazing quarterback we need to have a good running game

[@Refrigeraider13]

I just want us to draft the best talent available, sign the best free agents available, resign our best players available, and hire the best coaches available. Build the team around Maxx, Brock, Jakorian, and JPJ. No more overreaching. No more projects. No more playing players out of position. No more "what worked for yesterday should work for today." No more false hope or bells and whistles. Just find the right people to make the Raiders great again. Witnessing 3 of our division rivals make it to the playoffs is nasty work.

[@patricklavigne4453]

AP can’t manage any game. He doesn’t have much to say on defense and on the offense. So what exactly does he do? The Raiders just need a real head coach. AP doesn’t know what a head coach is supposed to be doing.

It’s a deep RB class though. We could probably get a solid RB in rounds 2 or 3. I like McMillan as a WR, otherwise maybe DE to pair with Maxx.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

I don't take a RB in the first unless we move down and gain another second rounder. And even then I'm kinda meh. In some order, the first four picks should be QB,WR,G,RB.

[@maxbucio9854]

Jeanty is the best offensive player on this draft. If Eard and Sanders aren't available, Jeanty is the best option. Jeanty is like Bowers, a generational player.

[@GrandPepper96]

I personally feel we can get a QB during free agency which will benefit better and we can draft a QB in 2025 or 2026 if it’s still needed. I think building better offensive weapons and defense. I like Hunter, Jeanty or Mykel Williams, Abdul Carter, Isaiah Bonds or Luther Burden or even Tez Johnson whoever is available. But these players seem solid to me. Good nfl prospects

[@tdiam3ndm8v3n]

If we can’t get one of the top two QBS, the draft the running backs!!! A guard in the second. Tee Higgins free agent.

[@Albertooo310]

AP chose Minshew over AOC, yeah he gotta go homie

[@marquise7200]

Mark is the most unpredictable guy in the league.

[@dito1022]

This is exactly what I've been thinking recently. I don't trust Sanders or Ward. They're still development QB's. Ashton can get us wins and is a safer pick. And we can continue to develop a better squad

[@dopsound]

I remember last year's draft and quite fans from Raider Nation wanted O-line. I wanted Penix and Atlanta destroyed that. I wasn't in on Nix he's turned out pretty good I was wrong. I kinda knew what we might have in Bowers watching Georgia games he destroyed teams good teams even as a freshman with Bennett. The thing about Jeanty is he homerun hitter he could score whenever touches the ball. There are some good backs coming out this year, but they not like him

[@Chau_J88]

Yes we should but I don’t think he will be available when it’s our turn

I agree with this completely. AOC is doing just fine. Might not be a GREAT QB. But he is a good one and he can win. Maybe move up for someone or grab a QB in 2
