I think Rhule is actively trying to troll this fanbase for booing him. We also know that he doesn’t care if he gets fired or not because he can “get a job anywhere”.

If you got paid in full for 7 years of work then got fired 3 years in would you care?

It wasn't really hindsight. We needed a center because Paradis was ass. WR was a luxury pick. Bad pick. Long snappers are available as UDFA by the dozens for a reason. Take a risk on a day 2 guard that fell because of a medical concern. Bad pick. You didn't need to be a NFL gm to make those 2 picks. If you watched the games it was pretty obvious we needed to invest in our IOL. 

Every team and gm in the league passed on him until the sixth round. Chiefs passed on him for five rounds. A center on the second round was a no brainer, but the sixth round guard? People need to let that one go, it is 100% hindsight.

It's in comparison to taking a long snapper. Which is the more rare talent at that point in the draft? A long snapper or a day 2 prospect with a medical condition that MAY affect his ability to play at a position we had need to fill? I liked any other pick except LS. It could have been another guard or center. LS just didn't make any sense.

I wasn't trying to insult you. I was saying, in a gm role, if you watched the games, IOL was a obvious need. And I said before, during and after the draft we needed a center and a guard. Creed was always on my wish list as a top 2 center and Smith was a plug and play guard talent I wanted as well. I thought he would go in round 5 after the medical. Rounds 2 and 3 are like round 1 for IOL. I had wanted McCoy the year we took little. But really, it comes down to we needed IOL, had the opportunity and failed to seize it. 

As I said, I agree.

I think taking a LS in round six was asinine. But the ongoing complaints from many posters that we were the stupid ones not drafting him when nobody else did either until Chiefs did in the sixth round is a bit much. We’ve done plenty of stupid stuff, but that one is a stretch.

I just look at that round and what we did. We took a long snapper with an obvious need for a guard, as evidenced by taking Brown later in the round. Regardless of what any other team did, even not knowing how Smith would turn out, it made more sense to take Smith, a day 2 prospect at that pick, and a LS later if we had to have one. I know we're only talking about 6th round picks and most of them bust anyway. I just really liked Humphrey and Smith coming out of college and was really disappointed we didn't get either when we had prime opportunities. I watch offensive linemen closer than any position going into the draft.

I was hoping for Humphrey as well, that one was a hard pill to swallow no doubt.

...nothing to do with handsome or talent and not sure how you drew that conclusion...but oh well... hes always been a distraction on every team hes been on and rants like a child when he doesnt get his way.... had he not gotten injured he would have been a distraction for the Rams..

He’s been an elite talent everywhere he’s been….his teammates love him.

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
