Not bad, but I would go Gonzales, LB Sanders, Campbell, both of whom could play MLB, DT with our first third (Ika), then OG with our second third. Then TE, LB, CB, WRraiders93 wrote Wed Mar 29, 2023 6:39 pm:In a perfect world I’d like to see us go CB at 7, edge at 38, and package 70 and one of our 5ths to move back into the 2nd if Campbell, sanders or Simpson are still there at say 50.

Good top 3 picks for sure. What are your thoughts on the 2nd/3rd round edge rushers? I’m kind of in love with this class. Huge fan of anudike-uzomah, will McDonald, Zach Harrison (3rd) would all be guys I’d be thrilled about.Dark Horse wrote Wed Mar 29, 2023 6:44 pm:Not bad, but I would go Gonzales, LB Sanders, Campbell, both of whom could play MLB, DT with our first third (Ika), then OG with our second third.

Why? We have f☆cked up in the first round at almost all positions multiple times.16 to 88 wrote Wed Mar 29, 2023 9:46 pm:Something about going CB that high makes me nervous

So this whole thing was a dark comedy.GUYDON wrote Wed Mar 29, 2023 8:53 pm:See I knew I could stir up some interest up in this bitch
So here is how I fix our sucky linbackers...
Rd 1- I will let the Raiders have freedom with this pick because Im generous. I know they want a QB if they can get one. I hope they get a QB that can also play LB on some key downs. But they will probably go one dimensional, one way "modern QB" qb without the intestinal fortitude to play a little defense now and then.
Rd2- simple, linebackers that doesnt suck
Rd3 since we have 2 picks, one early and one at 100, we need 1 linbacker that doesnt suck, and I will let them get a guard at 100. If there is no guard they like... you guessed it, go ahead and pick up a linebacker that doesnt suck.
Rd 4 only one pick here so, Im going linebacker that doesnt suck.
Now, here is were it gets interesting, rds 5,6,7 Im going linebacker early and offten. This way if one of the linebackers we smartly selected in the early rounds end up sucking, we have some more meat to throw in to the grinder. You know what Im saying?
I want fat linebackers up front, and skinny linebackers as dbs, I want 11 steely eyed linbackers on the field for defense at all times, and if we can squeeze a couple on offense, all the better.

I agree 100%… a lot of fans always say “we need linebackers that can cover, tackle, and shed blocks” well then if that’s the case you are asking for a group of all pro linebackers lol…WolfRaider wrote Fri Mar 17, 2023 7:24 am:I've always thought LBs are a skill Specific position because of the amount of jobs they have to do and how teams can scheme them up.
Not many guys can do it all. So, figure out what exactly you want them to be good at in your scheme for your Mike, Will etc and get guys that fit that. You want a Will that can cover in zones and get side line to sideline, then get that. If you need a 6ft4 250 Mike that can battle with a centre and crash into the box then get that. Protect the weaknesses with the scheme.

Sorry. My point was talking about the D as a unit. Sure, Max is a BEAST. What does that mean at the end of the day. We will still have one of the worst D's in the league and it has been like that for an eternity. What is even more scary is our D is worse than a year ago at this time and we have a BRUTAL schedule going up against some vey high powered offenses.Jeremyturner1976 wrote Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:54 am:Isn't there a minimum of 10 characters.
