Maxx has been impressive but definitely hasn’t showed he’s full on starter material yet. EDGE is certainly still a huge need. Our Pass Rush from the edge is bottom 3 in the league.

Yes he’s vastly overrating the Thursday game. Maxx is still an exceptional rotational rusher at this point and not a starter. I’m still hoping he evolves into a start but Maxx/Ferrell as starting EDGE’s is a Bottom 5 combo in the league at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Our DTs(Hurst and Hall) have potential but can go Games without really flashing. I would say for me an impact DT is a bigger need. Not even considering Young cause it’s not gonna happen. Raiders need a difference maker at DT. The fastest way to get to the QB is from the DT spot. Derrick Brown from Auburn or Javon Kinkaw to me would be an ideal draft pick with the Bears pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at what has been invested in the position lately. I'm not saying DT is the most likely either, WR and CB would be my bet.

Geezy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) we need to address the LB corp first and foremost. That position is so bad it brings down the rest of the unit. Id bring back Burfict, use a 1st rounder on one and either add a FA or use a 3rd on another one. Edited November 12, 2019 by Geezy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his combination of strength and athleticism gives him a high ceiling. He has great size, but certainly needs to work on pad level. I can see where you’re coming from though. Every prospect will have their flaws so it will be interesting (as it always is) to see how this draft process plays out. Can’t wait to watch more games and highlights in order to “scout” lol.

Did not like Kevin White at all either. Sounds like his IQ was smaller than EA’s during interviews. Intelligence matters to me. At least competent intelligence. Although my main reason for not wanting White is I hate one year elite production from receivers. Almost always a bust. About 99.5%.

Derrick Brown from Auburn or Javon Kinkaw to me would be an ideal draft pick with the Bears pick. I agree completely. The quickest path to the QB is up the middle. Nothing disrupts offenses more. Look at the Bears with Hicks getting hurt what's happened to their edge rushers. Offenses are more spread and quick timing than in the past. Hoping the Raiders can land D. Brown in the draft for this reason. Guy is disruptive and will elevate the defense around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im way more wrong than right anyways lol i just enjoy draft season for the fact that so many are so convinced of their evaluations and then a few years later realize they were so wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 depending on where we pick, ill take simmons, brown, gross matos and kinlaw in that order any of those 4 have the "potential to improve our front 7. personally , im all about our lber corps improving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
