You mean like Greg Little and Dennis Daley?

OL drafted from the previous staff?  Sure.  A rookie has a chance of getting better plus they have already got a good look at him and must like what they see.  We KNOW Erving will play terrible when he goes in.  So you prefer a known liability vs a potential one that you might be able to develop?

And there is nobody else available at all better than Ricky Lee for depth? Nobody that actually played in a major NCAA conference?

Why does it matter where he went to school?  Our staff got a look at him vs NFL talent and saw potential.  I trust Campen and am not concerned about Erving being gone.  Last time I saw Erving he was either chasing a playing sacking our QB or getting tossed into our QB by some 3rd string player on another team.

Irving stinks but Rick Lee is a head scratcher

He is a large raw OT that outplayed his competition.  Either Campen likes what he saw from him or they are going to replace him with another player that gets cut.  Either way they saw enough of Erving to know he was a liability and wasn't going to get any better.  With Erving you know the QB is doomed.

Ricky Lee was our best backup OT in our preseason games he's raw as hell but talented 

I was surprised he made the initial 53 man roster but like you said, he honestly looked pretty good from what I saw in the preseason.

Regardless of whether he remains on the 53, it was the right move to cut Erving.  Bring him back as a coaching intern.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • 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?
