not even the negativity on this board can bring me down. I dont care who starts at QB next year becuase whoever whens the battle in training camp is going to be a stud. Brandon Lafell is a beast who is not afraid to go over the middle, lays the wood downfield on his blocks, and despite his supposed small hands makes great catches and is shifty enough to get yards after the catch. Armanti Edwards is something i'm unsure of but i dont care. We still have next years first, and theres still good players on the board this year.

I watched this kid often during his time at school...he drops a lot of very catchable balls.

As an ASU fan and Alumni...I cannot wait to see Edwards on the field. The guy is amazing. He completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and is one of the fastest guys I have seen. He can change direction on a dime. Granted he played against FCS schools, so coaching will be needed to mold him into an NFL player.

But just imagine...An end around to the speedy Edwards, defenses collapse, Edwards pulls up and throws a 60 yard TD to Smith. Or how about a reverse with Smitty and Edwards. Or Edwards in the Wildcat with Smitty lined up as a RB...what will defenders do? I cannot wait!!!!

    • 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.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
