My Nephew is the Husband of Vann McElroy’s ( World Champion Los Angeles Raider all pro Safety ) Daughter . I’ve been a rabid Raiders fan since Fred Biletnikoff was young and wore # 14 . I really hope they don’t Squander a 1st Pic in the Draft on a late 1st Round talent QB from Colorado
Getting the Top Pass Rusher / Edge Talent and the second best Wideout in the Draft with their top two picks after trading back a few spots makes sense .
Quarterbacks are hit or miss as we know. And having a good one helps out immensely. That position has people drafting them way ahead of where they should go at times.
Use the earlier of 2 2nd Round pics and get a QB who has high upside and who played on a National Championship Winning or losing Team
We need another Edge and at least two rotational Defensive Tackles .
Doesnt Crosby make an average guy look really good like Watt on the Steelers? They can basically put anyone over there and get production because so much attention has to be paid to TJ. I figured the same would apply to Max
We have needed a Bookend Edge for Maxx for two seasons . If I were Telesco & Brady I would get the Best ( Wideout ) or ( Edge ) with Round 1 and a top tier Linebacker or Corner with the 2nd
I wouldnt be sold on Brady being able to pick gems out of the later rounds until he shows some ability to gauge talent. Just because he was the GOAT doesnt mean he's a good scout. He's not great in the broadcast booth. Also, we arent in the same NFL as we were when Brady was selected, scouting depts are bigger more sophisticated and better. It's why you dont see many "sleepers" anymore. Not saying it wont happen or that Brady doesnt have an "eye for talent" but neither of those things have any track record of being true.
