I have a feeling...

If we sign Carr I hope we dont take a QB atleast until the 3rd. I hope if they sign him that means they think he can be good enough with this staff to make a Playoff run behind this Defense and O-line if we can add a weapon or two.

I would be absolutely shocked if we both traded up to draft a QB AND signed Derek Carr. I definitely think those two scenarios are either or.

That's the sense I got listening to Fitterer.

If any trading up occurs, it won’t happen until after all of the interviews and combine results are in. So potentially Saturday night at the earliest. Iirc these things happen before the pro days and not during the combine.

My thought with trades like that is the later, the better.

If you make the trade too early, you risk somebody else trading up ahead of you for the guy you want.

If the price to trade up isn’t worth it I can see us going Hooker and signing Carr. I feel bad that Corral hasn’t gotten a fair shot but we have a chance to win the NFCS now and every year going forward for the foreseeable future. fug it jump on the opportunity now.

I feel like Carr might be pissed if we commit to him and then trade up for a QB. If we sign Carr we build around him and his 5 year window. WR/TE will probably be our first pick if we sign Carr.

If we sign Carr I dont want us using a top pick in this draft on a QB. 

If we sign Carr then Carr is THE GUY. Get weapons make the team better.

Signing Carr means no 1st round rookie QB for then next 2 or 3 years... even more if we are lucky. 

[Tr3ach]

Even if the deal is worked out, unless youre trading up to #1, im not sure why you would announce it before the draft.  All that does is give more time for teams to try to jump in front of us for who they think we like.

It's fun reading posts saying let's build around Carr and give him weapons. Like he had nobody last year

This is my take as well.

With Carr at 32 we do need a plan for the future in place.

Agree. If we sign Carr, I would more expect to do something like draft Hooker in the 2nd round.

Was really surprised how ineffective the Raiders offense was last year with all the weapons they had they should of at least made the Wild Card. Is that a symptom of Carr regression or McDaniels being a terrible HC? Both? Either/or?

[stan786]

I still don’t really understand the notion Carr is going to commit anywhere for a prove it deal or anything short of a long term commitment at a pretty hefty salary. There aren’t enough QBs to go around as it is, he’s going to have options and he’s old enough to prefer stability to upside.

If we sign Carr we aren’t going to be able to get out of him quick enough to use this QB of the future. We probably still draft a QB but not till later.

Only problem I have with Hooker is if we sign Carr to a 3-4 year deal Hooker will be 1 to 2 years removed from 30 if he even ever starts. 

Hooker is old for a rookie and I have a feeling any team who signs him will likely try to see if he can start year one, possibly.
