Tavon Austin

I love Austin and Stedman Bailey, never seen a QB with better timing than Geno and those 2. I see Austin as a Percey Harvin type back. I will tell you one thing about him and Bailey, those guys don't get tired. Many many games they were running just as hard in the 4th as they were in the 1st, and this was after hundreds of yards receiving and TDs. I'd love it if we can get Austin, or even Bailey.

nice man might be lil prone to injury. has the same body and speed as desean jackson. i still think we need a jump ball guy like calvin since cam has such a high release point.

As far as the injury point...he is built more solidly than Deshan Jackson. He explodes after his cuts like Smitty at his best. I think we do need a taller guy bc of Cams overthrows however..

    • 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.
