He can’t even stand out in that offense. Dudes a bust, the Raiders need guys that can contribute. But it wouldn’t surprise me if the Raiders traded a first for a guy like AJ Green. Call it a feeling i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 So I had Boston College vs Florida State circled today to see Brian Burns. He has been dominant so far this season but mostly against weaker schools. BC has one of the best lines in football and Burns had a sack and looked destructive. I’m very sold on him depending where we can land him. First pick of the 2nd Round absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Raider Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Going to catch heat for this, but one of those first four picks, hopefully one of the last two, needs to be a receiver. We need someone to strike fear in a defense and I doubt any decent young free agent will want to sign with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Chances of Oakland spending all three first round picks on defense is slim to none. Even tho it would make sense. This is Gruden an offense guy. He will at least take a TE or WR with one of those picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 We need to go BPA and first 4 picks the BPA will probably be defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, there isn't a guy you're describing in this class. I would like to sign Tyrell Williams this offseason, though. I'm all for going all defense with the first four picks and this seems like a great draft to do that. 1) Bosa 2) Corner: Diggs, Baker, Williams 3) Edge: Burns, Jackson, Sweat, Allen 4) Linebacker or Defensive Tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route running, good hands, and short area athleticism. All guys that can be found in the plenty in the 3rd-5th round area. Sign John Brown and Tyrell Williams would be my preference. We have the money to give them both nice raises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's being looked at as the strongest in years. A lot of great WRs in this class, just no standout elite top 10 type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfrey13 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 There will be 3-5 WRs with 1st round grades. Depending on our big board I would love to see us grab one if one falls out of the 1st. I do not think any are going to be worth a top fifteen pick. All of them have perceived deficiencies in their game. What we do in free agency I believe will not impact our need for a WR but will impact the type of WR we want to draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA might be, but I thoroughly doubt it will be all defense. Expect at least 2 offensive players. And at this point, the offense is so generally putrid and devoid of talent than I can't really argue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first four BPA is defense then you go defense. And I think it will be. We can always load up on offense next years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about what I think will happen, you're talking about what should happen. And this year, I don't think the "need vs. BPA" discussion is even relevant. Name a position where we don't have need other than center... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most mocks I see have like 25 defensive players going in the 1st Round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
