Players on this team worth keeping?

Spot on, but I would like to keep the o line intact, for now, and mix back in a little more downhill rushing with Dalton under center…. With some competent coaching. 

I need to see what we’ve got in the line  with a more conventional QB under center. With Bryce it feels like none of them where to go or what to do. 

The o line is by far the most difficult part of a rebuild. Rarely do premium o line players hit free agency unless there is an injury history with them and a team wants to gamble.

 

I think we have invested enough resources in the line that we need to adjust to what they do best. If we need to make a change like putting Ikey inside, so be it. Ultimately starting that rebuild again with be a multi-year effort. 

Bryce not fitting with a power running game, I am just not sure about. It's hard to know what he will be good at with the current scheme. TBH, I think we are getting to the point where he might already be a ruined pick. The bust factor grows with every game we keep trotting him out there to fail.

Lotta y'all are saying "Moton."
Reality?

Moton's cap figure is set to jump from $13.5m to almost $30m per year for 24 and 25.

Derrick Brown is your best overall player.  He is entering year 5, and his salary will increase by $10m.  He needs to be locked down. 

Burns cap jumps from his 5th year deal at about $16m to around $35m.  In my opinion, the way his situation has been handled is criminal and if Fitterer is responsible, he needs to be fired.  If he is not responsible, then he needs to be fired for not being responsible.

We are obviously going to be aggressive in free agency. 

The OL?  I see no progress with Ickey, and he is a talent.  New coach, keep LT on a rookie contract.

BC?  I say move him to RT and see what you can get for Moton.  BC is very athletic, and unfortunately, Moton's contract at $30m at age 30 for a RT is too much considering our other needs.

Zavala showed promise. Make him the LG.  Corbett and Bozeman are OK, but we have to run an offense that supports their skill set.

SO while some of you are saying, we need an OL most of all-I disagree.  We need a new OC and system--we need WRs more than anything else because they are not getting open.  Full stop.  Theilen would be OK in a Ricky Prohel role, and Mingo might be better in year 2.  Aside from that, we need 2 or 3 starting caliber WRs. 

We need a legitimate TE--not a bunch of blockers who catch the ball once in a while.  We need a weapon to minimize the amount of blitzing we see if nothing else. 

Our OL looked bad because they were not is a good system that played to their talents, Bryce was holding the ball too long looking for an Open WR, and the TE was not a threat.  I would rush 7 too.

from  another thread:

 

At this point this team needs a complete rebuild outside of 

definite keepers: 95, 49, 72

either sign him or trade him: 0

needs more time: 9, 8, 79, 15

And that's pretty much it, every other position could be argued that it needs to be either upgraded or at minimum needs quality depth

    • 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?
