I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ray Davis. If he's there in the 4th and they don't run to the podium and grab him, I will be visibly upset. I may even write a strongly worded letter to TT voicing my displeasure. (Unless of course they still get him in the 5th).MexicanHulk wrote Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:15 am:Not a big Gurrendo & J.Wright fan but, wouldn’t hate them. A few guys I’d target over them are;
Ray Davis (possibly my fav RB target)
Marshawn Lloyd
Blake Corum
Trey Benson (in the 4th round or later)
Gap/next tier
Tyrone Tracy (agree with you here)
Bucky Irving
Gap/next tier
Daijaun Edwards
Gap/Next Tier
Guerrendo
J.Wright
All of these players I’d take in the 4th or later. The top three rounds should be used on QB, OL, CB, DL. Ray Davis, Lloyd &, Corum are my fav targets. I want the Raiders to end up with one.

so what you are saying is players should manipulate the situation to their advantage and if that does not happen the league should provide opportunities for teams with the worst records to not get a chance to improve themselves by having the highest possible picks?AngryRaidersFan wrote Tue Apr 23, 2024 11:54 am:I like how teams like the comanders and patriots that are not just a qb away from competing are stopping teams like the vikings and raiders who are just a qb away by not accepting a deal that will land them more picks.
If I was maye or daniels why would I want to go to either 1 of those situations where my rookie season is pretty much guaranteed to be a disaster? They should both pull an Eli manning, refuse to sign with either team and make the teams trade for more picks.
This is why I think a draft lottery should be implemented for teams that did not make the playoffs.

The best way for teams with bad records with no talent to improve is to stockpile draft picks, hit on those and then go after a qb who won't be put in a position to pretty much be guaranteed to fail.Attyla wrote Tue Apr 23, 2024 12:03 pm:so what you are saying is players should manipulate the situation to their advantage and if that does not happen the league should provide opportunities for teams with the worst records to not get a chance to improve themselves by having the highest possible picks?
What I think is if a player tries to pull a Manning, he should be suspended for how ever long it takes to get him to change his mind. Or he can go play for the XFL. Fuck players being able to force a team to trade the pick just because they are going into a situation where it might be harder. The second overall pick is going to make 33M on a 4 year deal. Suck it up Nancy, sign your deal, play like hell and earn that second contract.

But that should be their choice. Not forced upon them by some petulant soon to be millionaire. And no, you go after the single most important player on the field when you get the chance, even if that means when your team is not ready for a QB. Get that piece and build around it.AngryRaidersFan wrote Tue Apr 23, 2024 12:24 pm:The best way for teams with bad records with no talent to improve is to stockpile draft picks, hit on those and then go after a qb who won't be put in a position to pretty much be guaranteed to fail.

two more days and you will see who we get. You see, the goal around here is to discuss what is happening around the team, and when someone argues for something that cannot happen and would not happen, and should not happen just because they want something that is probably out of reach, those arguments get shot down.AngryRaidersFan wrote Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:02 pm:BUT I WANT JAYDEN DANIELS NOW!!!!

I get that you want a certain player. Every year we get guys who want a certain player. Most often, that certain player gets snatched up by another team. Sometimes that player turns out, other times, not so much. You want Daniels, and we are not sure what he is going to do. We don't know if Washington is taking him or another guy. We don't know what the Patriots are going to do. What we do know is in 2 days we are going to find out. If Daniels is picked, that is fine, good luck to Daniels in Washington or New England. If we trade up, it will cost us and the very scenario you put out there that stockpiling picks is the way to go is the very thing we just gave another team. Not that I believe it is as simple as that. But your logic of the best way to improve a team is exactly the opposite of what we will be doing.
So let the draft unfold, there will be plenty of bitching going on after it is over and you are free to join in....or celebrate or frankly whatever you choose to do.

I'm holding out for The Commanders to shock the world and take McCarthy. This will give the Vikings a boost to make NE an offer they can't refuse.AngryRaidersFan wrote Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:02 pm:BUT I WANT JAYDEN DANIELS NOW!!!!

More than likely....a QB.
