Saturday games

Bucs-Lions could be kind of a "what if" game for us. Because a few of their coaches are out due to covid protocols (including interim head coach Darrell Bevell) the Lions offense will be called by  QB Coach Sean Ryan.

Ryan was heavily rumored to be the Panthers choice for OC before the name of Joe Brady popped up.

Just spit balling here, but let's say we don't love the QB options available in the 1st. Let's say that Lawrence and Wilson are gone and we're not super high on Fields or Lance (again, just spit balling here). Let's say the Lions are willing to trade Stafford for our 2nd and a 3rd next year?

What do you do?

Honestly, I do it and I field offers for that pick for a team trying to move up to get Lance or Fields.

Is Penei available in this scenario?

I've never been that big a Matt Stafford fan, but if the question is whether he's better than what we have, yeah probably.

Not to answer for LG, but I find it hard to believe he'd be available in any scenario where we don't pick before the Bengals.

If we aren’t picking Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance or Sewell I’d be willing to take the DE from Miami who sat out this year, Kyle Pitts, or trade back and still hope for the DE or Pitts. Possibly even JaMarr Chase. If we let Samuel walk away I’d like to keep the team with three really solid pass catchers to go with CMC. Pitts solved red zone issues. The DE makes the entire defense better when the QBs have no time to throw with Burns on the other side and Gross Mayos rotating in. You give us Stafford and I think we are close to a playoff time when you add in one of those guys.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
