This sounds even worst.

97 of the 106 players taken in the 1st 3 rounds of the 2020 draft are still on the team they were drafted by. Of the 9 players who aren't, 5 were picked by the #Raiders

Lord that is embarrassing

I’m starting to think Mark Davis is a total 100% moron, and not as good of a person the Raider fan base claims he is. 

I thought him buying the WNBA franchise was a horrible idea and there had to be some type of hidden agenda.  Why would you dump $50M into a franchise and training facility when the prospects of turning a profit have proven for to be impossible over the last 2 decades.

but we somehow got an amazing stadium and really good deal in LV.  Idk if mark just got lucky there and the people in charge pulled off the deal or what.

I think he's playing the long game and trying to become a fixture for the professional sports teams in Las Vegas. The NBA is voting on potential expansion with Vegas and Seattle as the two most likely cities to get teams after the 2023-2024 season. 

An investment group is currently building a 4 billion dollar arena, casino, and hotel that could host an NBA franchise but it won't be ready until 2026. If the new expansion teams are brought into the league following the 2024 season, Mark could potentially get involved by allowing the new team to use the practice facility while they play at T-Mobile before the new arena is completed. 

I'd say Mark did get pretty fortunate though with how everything played out. He made a push to move to Vegas just as the NFL became open to gambling and being involved with bookies.

I’m just making an assumption, but I suspect  it was just a passion project for him. They say Al absolutely loved women’s basketball, so I could see that being passed down to Mark.

Covid year was weird but man did we crap the bed with that draft class. 

Ruggs - Looked good but tragedy

Arnette - Reach from the jump, off the field goon

Edwards - Looked okay but just never did much

Bowden - Slot WR that played QB who we drafted to be our backup RB

Muse - Special teams war daddy, lol

PFF WR Rankings:

Quote

#1 Davante Adams:

The former Green Bay Packer is at the top of his game as he makes the move to the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams earned a career-high 92.7 PFF grade in 2021, his second consecutive mark above 92.0. He has also generated 1.43 PFF Wins Above Replacement (WAR) since 2020, the most by a wide receiver over that span my more than a quarter of a win.

#27 Hunter Renfrow:

Renfrow is among the league’s best slot receivers. He turned in the seventh-best slot receiving grade in 2021 and brought in 96.5% of his catchable targets when on the inside. Renfrow also doesn’t get the recognition he deserves as a route runner. The 5–foot–10, 184-pound receiver’s separation rate last season stood at the 95th percentile among qualifying NFL receivers.

Some of our leaked madden ratings:

• Carr - 85 (13th)

• Jacobs - 85 (13th)

• Adams - 99 (1st)

• Renfrow - 84 (27th)

Wow, getting lov from the developers is something I’m not used to.  The one I’m the most curious about though is Crosby
