If nothing else, this pick alleviates my fear that Gettleman was going to be over-reliant on Mike Remmers after a handful of decent games. Looks like the Bell/Chandler disaster taught them a lesson on expecting too much out of guys who aren't proven performers and who haven't shown great promise.

That's one thing I'll give the G-man credit for, he's not perfect, but the man does learn from his mistakes. Just like how we got burned when Ginn and Mitchell bolted for more money elsewhere after one good season with us and now look at Gettleman targeting veteran FAs with two years deals.

I completely agree about Remmers. I think he will be good and improve, and might even lock down the right side for the foreseeable future, but let's not overlook the fact that his sample size is small. Best thing possible is competition, and our tackle competition is gonna be vicious and I actually believe (due to competition) we will have the best line in a very long time.

He didn't have money to give two year deals so it wasn't like he "learned" anything.

 

When we signed Mitchell and Ginn, they were bargain basement signings.  Not like we would've had to give them significant guaranteed money.  We have Kurt Coleman signed for two years with only $600k guaranteed.  At the time we signed them, I think we would've been able to get Mitchell and Ginn for similar money.  Mitchell had only $250k guaranteed in his one year deal.  Hence why I say Gettleman learned a lesson.

Here is a look at Daryl Williams.

 

First off, the guy is a really imposing figure. I can see why the Panthers were so high on him. He just has the look and presence of a NFL tackle. Some guys don't seem as big as their measurables, but Daryle definitely does.

I might think twice about pointing the camera at him after a look like that.

Remmers needs to move to the LT spot. He is a better pass blocker than run blocker. Let Williams man the RT. 

 

The above is assuming Remmers out preforms Oher in preseason splitting LT dutty.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
