Tavon Austin

I think he'll likely be somewhere between Reggie Bush and Smitty as far as potential goes... but dude has to be the most elusive, fastest accelerating prospect that has been out in a long long time...

He'll easily put up the fastest acceleration times in the 40, and probably will be one of the fastest overall, too...

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.

I'll throw his name out there again... Lamont Bryant 6'5 runs a 4.3-4.5 that's the guy

should make a thread about it

He's already on the team. Sorry the way I worded that it sounded like he was a rookie... He was on the PS this year and we signed an extension with him

I dont like any of the receviers in the top 25. But if we trade back to 25th or higer in the first round we would have some great options at WR. Love Tavon brings it to the game every time. But if we stay at 14 have to go tackle or another position. I see us trading back or grabbing a wr in the 2nd.

Agree about his explosiveness. Austin is arguably the flashiest WR in the draft.

Reminds me of a Cobb/Harvin type which I'd love to have on the team. Also, he'd be a great compliment to LaFell imo with an aging Smitty. Yeah, we do need that jump ball type receiver but Austin would be a great addition methinks.

    • 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.
