Who do you want?raider_kin » Tue Jan 21, 2025 7:56 am
Sounds good to me. Add a guard or two in FA and the draft and we have moved a great deal forward.RaiderFan1 wrote Tue Jan 21, 2025 7:16 am:OLINE being our biggest need, besides QB
Ideally would hope our new GM could trade back 3 or 4 spots and pick up that top OT and pickup up an extra 2nd round pick. Then get Dart or Milroe (whomever our scouts like best) in the 2nd or move back into the 1st to get their development QB for 2years.. then pay Sam Darnold 2 years $40 mil per year, $80 mil guaranteed should get him to accept 2 year contract, develope our drafted QB for 2 years, and Darnold could likely get us to playoffs so we not continuing being in the basement with AOC or other backup caliber QB where we are rooting for us to tank again in 2025… Raiders have the cap space and money to pay $40 mil for a real QB, if you go budget, it shows on the field,,,, you get what you pay for, if you wanna see the Raiders compete then get a fvkcing quarterback….

Currently at 6 I'm good with either of the followingOpoponax50 » Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:56 am
As an aside, this whole "Draft a QB every year!" is silly.BoKnows81 » Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:58 am
Not for this teamOpoponax50 wrote Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:56 am:As an aside, this whole "Draft a QB every year!" is silly.
Over the course of 5 years that would mean 5 quarterbacks, maybe one of which earns a backup role. In the meantime, there'd be 4 position where BPA could've been taken.
We need a QB badly, but taking one just for the sake of taking one is futile beyond description.

Abdul Carter. We messed up skipping the last Carter, lets not do it again.

Well two QB's could be taken this year in later rounds if some decent prospects are available to develop. I don't know why more QB needy teams don't try this strategy.Opoponax50 wrote Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:56 am:As an aside, this whole "Draft a QB every year!" is silly.

I'm good with anyone in the top 6 right now. I prefer one of the Michigan defenders, probably Johnson the most.BoJacksonRules » Tue Jan 21, 2025 8:30 pm
As long as it’s a consensus top 10 talent I’ll be more than happy.HesterLayes » Tue Jan 21, 2025 9:17 pm
i have not decided who i want yet.Last year it was Big Dick Brock,but we got lucky.haji81872 » Tue Jan 21, 2025 9:30 pm
See, I just don't see the point in trading back to get a lesser player just because it is a spot of need. Carter, Graham, Johnson, Hunter are elite players that would go in the top five any year in any draft. aYou just can't pass up that kind of talent for two lesser talents.raider_kin » Wed Jan 22, 2025 7:55 am

1 Ward

Will Johnson at 9 to Saints is the only other 1st round QB.

Nope it's Will Johnson and they're converting him to QB. He'll be an upgrade on their current guy.BoKnows81 wrote Wed Jan 22, 2025 8:04 am:Will Johnson or did you mean Will Howard to the Saints?
