How has the last few first round corner picks worked out?BoKnows81 wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:09 pm:Oh, and still no corners taken over halfway through the draft. What's that tell you

would have preferred Fuaga but no arguing that it wasn’t bparaiders93 » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:15 pm
Bowers is legitimately considered one of the greatest TE prospects of all time. He’s gonna be a star. It’s a good pick.ELCAraiderfan » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:15 pm
That's what I am thinking as well. They were counting on Penix falling to us at #13 and didn't see it coming the Falcons taking him at #8. Now it will be very interesting to see what the Raiders front office does rest of this draft.Jave wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 6:59 pm:I thought it was a good pick, but I agree with you. NO energy after the pick, almost like it surprised them as well. That is worrisome.

There were no shutdown corners in this draft. None even worth a top 15 pick.RaiderandBulldog wrote Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:10 pm:How has the last few first round corner picks worked out?

Honestly it looks to me like the decision was made a LONG time ago that there was no savior quarterback to drop into our lap, so the Raiders are going to go ole school football and run, run, run the ball down your throat and pass when they have to.Jave » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:18 pm

With that being said let’s call it like it is…. The falcons fucked our day up. To me even looking at the reaction in our war room - it looked like someone dropped an atom bomb in there.
We made the best of it and said fuck it were just gonna get a guy that’s gonna be really good…. But let’s not kid ourselves this was not what we had planned coming into tonight

Am I right that I am noticing that all the people crying over this pick were the ones that loved winning those last few meaningless games that took us out of contention to get one of the tier 1 QB’s in this draft ? How do those meaningless wins feel now?Raiderboy1966 » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:20 pm
It makes no sense Falcons took Penix with them just giving Cousins that massive contract . They cant ditch cousins any time soon without massive dead cap charges.raiders93 » Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:21 pm
