ok ok ok
Decent draft by Raiders but don't take this as hate, it's just an opinion of an nfl fan!
They lost thier best wr, they still didn't address Oline..I dont care what the coach says they do not have the players.........Russell, call me in 3 years......Bush is by far thier best pick and could be a beast....COULD....if they address the o0line and he stays healthy....thats to HUGE if's right now.
So you now have 3 wr's 1 od which didn't play ;ast year and is your #1, 2 of which really aren't a #2 and #3 type wr and then you have a bust of a wr top round out the top 3 spots...add to that a rookie qb playing in a system not suited for him.
Nice day to be an afc west fan let me tell you.
Again this isn't a hate thread please believe me when I say that.......this is based solely off of what they picked up....you guys made Pats stronger, didn't address what needed to be done the most (sorry second most...you did need a qb first so thats my mistake) and you got a great rb but still don't have the #2 need filled to help him out.
So here is what is going to happen, you will be facing tons of blitzes and to stop those blitzes on your rookie qb you have a running back #1 who has NEVER proved to be a star back and plays better when having a good 2nd back with him...then you have a rookie injury pron running back as #2 that has to stop the blitzes....wow
Now saying this you do look waaaaaaaaay better on offense this year than last year, but you didn't get what you needed out of Moss and just made another AFC team stronger.
Add to that the other 3 afc west teams drafting what they needed...now right players is another story....see my draft grade on Broncos, by no means am I completely happy with what they drafted..sure they filled need (outside of safety) but they got character issue guys who now need to prove themselves...but we did fill needs!
Chiefs got thier wr who may step up and be the go to guy they have long searched for, and the chargers also got a wr which they need and granted they over paid but got thier safety as well.
So all in all while Raiders drafted big name good players, it wasn't 100% for need which is what they should have done, so while they got stronger I cannot deny that, so did the other teams in thier division and they themselves made the afc stronger by trading moss...why the fuck didn'tthey move him back to NFC????
