Just last year I was yelling at the TV to draft Duke Robinson from 3rd round on. Turns out we could just wait until the 5th.

I was high on Alphonso Smith. I was sad when the Broncos drafted him.

Woulda been fine with Laron Landry.

This isn't a draft pick but I was excited when we signed Kemo. They mentioned his game against the saints as a reason they signed him. I found it and watched it, he never played like that again.

I thought LaRon Landry would be the next Troy Polamalu. I wanted him to fall to us sooooo bad. I had him #1 and Reggie Nelson #2 for us. Glad we didn't get either...

I wanted Landry bad enough that if it had been between Willis and Landry, I would have wanted us to take Landry.

I wanted Quinten Jammer over Peppers. Jammer isn't a bust, but not quite the shut down corner he was supposed to be.

Certainly not as much of an impact player, but he is a really really good corner, and is not costing the bolts nearly as much as Pep has cost us.

Never gets beat deep, and is great against the run. He will play corner 2=3 more years then will be pushed to safety for another 3 years.

Me too thought he was going to be a beast of course I think he would be better on our D in the cover 2 then in Denver.

    • 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.
