stl4life07 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 In all seriousness though, if I am a Raiders fan I would be mad too. You draft a guy at the top of the draft in hopes he is great and be the cornerstone of your team. Well Mack did all of that and some. The Raiders didnt reward him, they shipped him off. Like I can see karma coming back hard on the Raiders as they probably wont find another great player like Mack in a very long time. Like this is ridiculous. The Bears are building a great team. I love the Smith pick and now they got Mack. The Raiders need to take a page from the Bears on how to build a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two first rounders could end up being anything. The boost in cap space is nice though. Thats a silly short sighted opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siv Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Don’t like the Raiders trading a premium pass rusher in his prime while they’re paying their guards like 20mil a year. That Bears roster is stacked though. It’s all about Trubisky now. Cant wait to see details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 It seems like there is a player involved. Who do we think it is? Leonard Floyd maybe? Or a lesser quality player? Gruden was complaining about his backup QBs- could the Bears have gotten away with just trading 2 firsts and Chase Daniels for Mack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go read the "What would you trade for Mack thread" and the vibe is completely and totally different. If the Raiders just got 2 first + a player + ~$20m in extra cap space for the next 5-6 years they absolutely made the right choice. Especially because those 1st rounders could be top 10 picks. Now lets see what they do with the 1st before we declare a winner. Yep the Bears are giving ~$40MM/year worth of resources in cap space and draft picks to acquire Mack. That's crazy.

They've drafted bust, after bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 This makes the Bears better, which sucks a lot, but with no firsts for at least 2 years, now paying out a franchise QB like contract while their QB is on a rookie deal, I don't see them surpassing us and Minnesota. Mack seemed like an all in move for a contender. Multiple first rounders for a team who wasnt expected to contend doesnt make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobikus Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Two first round picks? Hey, there's a slim chance that one of those players might be as good as Mack! Steal for the Raiders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seriously, Mack is by leaps and bounds the best player that franchise has in a long time and they don't even keep him as long as his rookie contract.

Elky Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The Raiders made the only decision they could make. If they paid Mack what he's worth, then a big chunk of their cap is going to him and Derek Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remember when the raiders had a losing season 3/4 years with Mack? It only takes one little injury to negate Mack completely. On the otherhand 2 first rounders and the other 3-4 mid range players you can get with $20m are much harder to neutralize. The number of players in the NFL worth 2 first + a player + $20m in cap space that arent a QB is 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
