A 1 year contract on a vet isn't going "all in" IMO. The issue is, there is just a lack of a quality starter and depth a G and protecting Carr is priority 1.

He's a knucklehead, but it's low risk if he can lock down the G spot for a year until they find a solution. Rolling with Good and a bunch of nobodies behind him is risky. They are 1 injury at G away from a real problem.

Maybe Gruden will assign him a babysitter to make sure he takes his meds and tows the line.

Low key would like to bring two legacy players in the program

G- baby Wiz

DE- Chris Long 

great vet leader for Ferrell and Crosby. Can still pressure the QB

I'd like Long as well. Awesome dude and still a good rotational guy.

Fair enough, but it's leaning more this way than it is toward getting younger. 

I do want Carr on his feet though. Good looked pretty decent last year, but I understand skepticism based on sample size, which mayock himself alluded to.

Raiders playing a dangerous game by going all in on relying on a rookie and Key to provide a pass rush. Never got the feeling that the Raiders were interested in Ansah. 

Yeah the Mauro/Key situation is gonna suck. 

Next years EDGE class is even better though. Chase Young and AJ kid from Iowa. Maybe we can finally get @SBXISBXVSBXVIII his Iowa guy.

Mayowa was a top 30 edge player according to PFF. Not saying he is actually a top 30 edge player, but he probably put up decent pressure numbers, which is what they value the most. He's still reasonably young and could definitely help. 

Key started to turn the corner at the end of last year and the offseason should help some.

Hurst played pretty damn well before the ankle injury and could be in line for 8-10 sacks (we'll see). Hall flashed, but needs more consistency.

Buckner did very well and increased tampa's sack total last year. I think he can do the same for us. Plus manufactured blitzes, as joyner and abram are fantastic blitzers.

Just coming in to say I hope he kills it for you guys. He had fumbling issues as a PR/KR specialist for us, but he's a really shifty runner and is a home-run threat with the ball in his hands. If he can clean up his mental mistakes, the kid will be a solid starter.

We're banking on our 2nd year guys (Hall, Hurst, Key) making a jump this year.

This. I was shocked that we didn't target an offensive lineman in the draft. Wes Martin instead of Isaiah Johnson would have made a lot of sense. I would've also been happy with Cody Ford instead of the trade down for Mullens.
