Answer: Hell no. his performance in college in a bad conference was inconsistent and unspectacular. No DT in this draft is worth the #9 pick because there are too many questions about each.

If they did not televise the combine or publish the results, he would be a second rounder in most minds. Keep in mind that any NFL news in February is sensationalized by the media. It was fun to see him run a 4.98 and 44 reps is awesome, but should he not have DOMINATED at Memphis with these mad skills? Did not happen.

Be prepared to be attacked because you dare question the measurables.

Been saying for weeks...Claiborne, Coples or trade down. IMO those are the only two players in this draft who can come in and immediately contribute to the defense. If the staff really thinks that we MUST HAVE an OT to replace Gross then stay at #9 and draft Reiff but if those two defenders are gone then don't stay at #9 and draft a workout warrior. Really don't think that Hurney will do that...we typically draft on production, not combine numbers.

So...Claiborne, Coples, Reiff (possibly if we can't trade down), or trade down. That's what we'll do.

Quinton Coples will add more strength to couple (derp) with his height, speed, and athleticism, making him a dangerous pass rusher. Or that should be the plan anyway. In the top ten you need to try and get an athletic freak who can be molded into a dominant player. Coples is our best bet at 9 imo, but I strongly doubt he will be there.

    • 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.
