Possible the Raiders tipping their hand with how the Offense will go. We know AP wants to pound it.heavyD » Thu Apr 25, 2024 6:53 pm
Safe to say he was not a guy I really considered. I assumed he would be picked before the Raiders and the focus has been mainly on QB, OL, and CB. It’s not a team need. However, he’s possibly top five talent and by definition best player available. I like that they aren’t getting cute or picking for need. This is a very solid pick and they might be able to do some damage with the two tight ends they now have.WolfRaider » Thu Apr 25, 2024 6:57 pm

Pair up with a lot of two TE sets with Mayer on the other side and the WRs we have?
This could be an Offense that sneaks up on a lot of people.

Great sign in the sense that AOC could (should) be the starter.erickench » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:01 pm
When I first heard his name called I thought it was a stupid pick. Then I noticed that Walterfootball had him rated as a top 16 player. Fine!!! But why draft a tight end when we already have one in Michael Mayer? Apparently they are using the best player available philosophy which is fine. But how does he fit in?Willmark » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:02 pm
Let’s consider it positively (tough I know with the mobile QB crowd melting down):Spirit in Black » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:04 pm

Should help AOC out a lot this year.Arsenal Raider » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:05 pm
Dude is a monster. This feels like the type of pick that we normally pass on, only for the next team to snag and end up burning us for 10 years. (Megatron, Rodgers, etc...)
