By definition half the league has an average or better QB. But I get what you are saying. Competent, efficient, and productive are better adjectives.

Just think about how many good to average QB come out of a draft on a yearly basis. 1 maybe 2 a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woeful that the best QB from that class was cut by us, a 2-10 squad, cuz AJ McCarron looked better 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I didn't realize how much money the Raiders are expected to have next season. I anticipate that after cuts, the team will have around $100 million in cap space to spend. Couple that with the allure of Nevada's no state tax, and I think the team can land some pretty "big fish." Also, the class on the defensive front seven looks pretty deep even before cuts. DeMarcus Lawrence, Brandon Graham, Ezekiel Ansah, Preston Smith, Brian Orakpo, Clay Matthews, Cameron Wake, Dante Fowler, Aaron Lynch, *Anthony Barr, Jadaveon Clowney, Shaq Barrett, Shane Ray, Dee Ford, K.J. Wright, Avery Williamson, Deone Bucannon, Denzel Perryman. Not bad for positions of need. I wouldn't mind landing three or four of these guys.

We have had so many years with a ton of cap space but come up empty. Our problem is not the cap but the cash. We could easily have $120 cap space depending on who we get rid of but it will not help that much. Imagine a front seven of: Lawrence - Quinnen Williams - Hurst - Fowler Barr - Bush - Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG_C2X Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Lawrence would be my #1 target if he becomes available. Barr would be my #2. Then Landon Collins, Lev Bell, and Brandon Roby round out my top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLO Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I wouldn’t use a high pick on an offensive skill position player, especially this year. Go for impact defenders with the three firsts and the 2nd, and upgrade at WR through free agency. The real question is if they can make a move in FA akin to when they signed Crabtree. That seems to be more beneficial route to take towards building the team imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitty 2.0 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I’m pretty sure Dallas gonna cut Sean Lee I think we should pick him up for 7-8 million a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence shouldn't cost nearly as much as Mack imo. Edit: Plus adding a couple high draft picks and a cheaper contract just may be worth the gap between Mack and Lawrence. Maybe. Doubt it. But maybe.
