MacReady Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 There's going to be one more significant development for us before the season starts, but it ain't gonna be Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure it won't be Mack. I'm leaning further away from it with each passing day and I'd sure like to know what he's doing now to get in football shape because he hasn't been seen or heard from on a football field since 12/31/2017. Can any team really expect him to jump right in and contribute day one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as a situational pass rusher for a few plays. That's another point that continues to be neglected here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a 5-11 team trying to rebuild, you'd make a hole to fill one while losing 5 years of production? That makes even less sense. Mack is a far superior player to Clark, let's be real. Clark profiles as an elite run defending, average pass rush DL. He's not Geno Atkins, Aaron Donald, Gerald McCoy. Mack is the best EDGE player in the NFL. Getting Mack for Clark and a 1st is totally a win for the team getting Mack. It just makes no sense for a contender. If I have a few years to build to the point of being a contender, damn right I pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that .. pretty sure Gute is going to make a move for a veteran offensive tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that our tackle needs could be solved by grabbing someone who doesn't make a 53. We really only need OT depth, a swing, and that's if Murphy is injured.

I don't trust Murphy or Spriggs to adequately fill that hole if injury strikes. Oops .. kind of getting off topic a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moretti19 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I would honestly send the two 1st round picks right now for Mack. The picks will most likely both be in the 20s and we are guaranteed to have a all pro player this year in a position that has been a weakness.

You just don't want to wind up bidding against yourself and giving up too much. If that's what it truly takes to get it done I'm fine with it, but there may be a chance that he ends up going for less the longer this plays out.

Based on reports he is in shape and ready to play. And one could argue that Pettine's defense would absolutely allow him to start and play immediately One of the selling points of the defense has been that its less about scheme, and more about the players.

deltarich87 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hate to do it but I'm willing to trade Fackrell, Kumerow, and a 1st for Mack. May even throw in Kyle Murphy to sweeten the deal. It's a tough pill to swallow but for Mack it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely understand and agree, Gute would be the man if that went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fack and Mack would be the scariest Edge rushing combo in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hes referring to the team rebuilding getting Clark, thats how I read it anyway. I think everyone can see oakland isnt winning a title this year.
