Did we overpay: Yes. From any regular analysis. That said: McD and Bean know him. Perhaps he was a poor fit in Carolina for whatever reason. Perhaps having Williams and whomever they draft will "free" him up. He no longer needs to be "the" DT.

we also have Bodine, who I think gave up very few sacks/pressures last year. We are okay on the interior. Crosby is a day 1 starter and like you said, a huge upgrade over Mills. Although I just saw that Richie is threatening retirement. In which case, the pick here has to be Ragnow, a C/G. Day 1 starter also. Although, if Gory or Bodine can play G, perhaps you go Crosby due to the tremendous value of finding a starting OT this late in the draft. Crosby could also replace Richie. I've confused myself now.

Crosby. Ragnow is a great player, but a chance at a top 5 OT this late in the draft can't be passed up. Interior lineman are easier to find, IMO. Crosby can be an instant starter.

who'd u vote for?

Read somewhere today (NFL.com) that his "inconsistency" drives some coaches crazy. Still, given what we have, not sure why we didn't keep him. Perhaps plan is to draft a guy and/or "hope" Zay is ready.

Interesting. I wonder if we visit any other USC or UCLA players while out there? Does UCLA have a QB?? is this a fantastic smokescreen? this time of year is great. perhaps the Browns would trade us their 1 if we are in on Darnold and believe that Allen will be there at 4?

Injury history plus I think the plan is likely to use Vonte Davis--who is an upgrade if healthy, as well as draft a CB in Rd. 1 or 2 to replace Davis next year. Have a shutdown corner pair.

oh yeah, forgot about that also. I envision some sort of Andrew Luck scenario w/ him. On the other hand, I envision a 15 year+ franchise QB.

Only worry about Rosen for me is the concussion history. QB's in preference: Mayfield, Rosen, Kyle L. I think these guy are most day 1 ready.

In the second round, the Raiders select Mike Hughes--CB--Central Florida. @section122 is on the clock.

I think Bodine will be a steal, esp. with AJ. And I wouldn't rule out drafting C/G Ragnow or the guy from Bama.

Landry. We have the DT's this year. Need a better pass rush. Landry is a steal here, IMO.

where is the poll for 22? on phone and cant find it

He'd be a good addition. Nice depth at the very least.

What's Kyle L's number? If we cant' get Rosen or Mayifeld, I'd like him at 22.

I could see it. In which case I think we should trade back. Get more picks. We have a ton of holes. If the top 2 LB's are gone, trade back, draft 2 WR's this year, 2 QB's (Kyle L. and someone else), 2 LB's later (Jewell and Kiser) a DT later and C/G later. same! that was going to be my pick, but he was gone. yes. Happy Hour early where you are

same here! But I can't see the Raiders passing him up. Pairing him and Mack will give them a good D to chase after San Fran, etc. And I think Gruden will love it. I want him at 12 also, but i can't see the Raiders passing on him.

any agent who does not tell a draft prospect to get insurance is committing malpractice, IMO.

Vea. Yes, we have Williams and an overrated Star next year. But after that, a guy like Vea does not come along very often.

With the 10th selection, the Raiders select Termaine Edmunds--LB, Virginia Tech. The Dolphins, @section 122 are on the clock.

If this happens, it will be MUCH worse for the Pats***. They have several holes to fill. Trading up for a QB will cause Gronk to retire and perhaps get a lackadaisical Brady. Think he wants an OL rather than the "new" QB. If they do this, I hope an implosion follows. If I'm the Pats, I'm going OL, and perhaps QB with the second 1st rounder. Not trading any picks.

hahaha. If they do this, watch Brady and Gronk retire. No way the Pats***** trade both 1st for a QB. Likely they draft a plug and play player, and a QB with the later pick (Kyle L. most likely).

I guess the fact that we are arguing about a player being an a&& or not for firing his agent over twitter means that our players (w/ the Zay exception) have stayed out of trouble this off season. Could be much worse "player behavior" to be discussing.

perhaps the agent's "cut" was larger than they led him to believe.

Likely putting a plate cover on when the season starts! in PA, so no "Bills DMV" plate.
