Yea I went and watched a couple draftbreakdowns videos of Moton and he played very solidly against good talent. Against Wisconsin and high draft pick and speedy pass rusher Watt Moton did great.  I think he could possibly be starting at RT this year.

Exactly. I can agree with an A or A-

While watching ESPN yesterday, one program ranked us dead last in the NFC South as far as draft grades. I couldn't have disagreed more. As for this one; I would say the worst pick was the 7th rounder we spent on the kicker.

Are they liking the players or liking the fit? Are they liking the potential or are they assessing the likely outcome?

I will be pleased if this works out but I'm taking nothing for granted. 

Taints don't think its a fit. No surprise there...

Lol saints fans are the Mel kipers of the nfcs fans. Whatever they think, go wth the opposite.

Originally assumed Moton was the target all along.

Easily a better offensive lineman than Hawkins by a longshot. I loved the pick.

That's debatable. They were rated very close by most. What Moton didn't have, that Dawkins did, were felony aggravated assault and conspiracy charges, and he was not acquitted, but instead agreed to a deal. For the Panthers, I think that probably crossed him off the list. Moton's character and smarts are apparent and he'll likely improve his technique quickly.

I definitely hope that we're seen as the easy game in our conference by the other teams and their fans. It makes the wins all the sweeter.

 Even if we just improve the secondary we will be a much stronger team. I'm cautiously optimistic.

If he turns out to be good then I think it was a good move. He'd have been better off as an UDFA, rather than a 7th rounder, but now he's locked in, and can't shop himself around. The prospect of getting a 7th rounder at other positions good enough to stick on the roster and actually help are always low.

Maybe we thought he wouldn't be there as a FA.  When you draft them they don't have a choice where they play

      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.
