We already have a yound dline and average linebackers. I thought this would be a focus in FA I think it was the focus until all the top DEs got franchised. I would not want to pay top DE money to any of the available pass rushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have to use all 3 first round picks on DE. Seriously though we need to sign at least 1, draft one in the first, then still get one on day 3, and sign a June 1st cut. I think we are the only team in the league that has only one DE on the roster. Might as well switch to a 3-4. There are at least 5-6 quality players that could play OLB in that scheme. Not going to happen though. They need to at least kick the wheels on Ansah in the next couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) There is an Ansah to the DE problem. And Houston. I loved ziggy in draft and pounded table for him that year. I think houston is prob best fit. Can help key, and other young lineman, while still being very productive.

I'll take Barrett at a reasonable salary. Young and can be a good pass rusher from OLB. Ansah may want too much, and I don't trust his body holding up. I'll say fool's gold. Houston I'm eh on, I think he can provide a strong veteran presence, but I'm not sure he can play on the line. As with Ansah, how much money will he want.

RaidersAreOne Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Dolphins are still trying to trade Robert Quinn too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Quinn contract not worth trading for. Overthecap has the Raiders will 40 million in cap space , but that’s with out the Williams deal. Not sure what’s taking them so long to update it since they already did the Nelson and McCarron cut. Can’t imagine them having to much money to put up front at this point.

Draft Houston and double dip in the draft on edge defenders. Houston, Key, and 2 early pick rookies should be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Gruden made comments about not wanting a good WR corp, but a great one. I wonder if he continues to look at WR in FA? Some options still out there: Randal Cobb Garcon Crabtree Kearse Wallace Bryant (Martavis) Rishard Mathews LaFell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing more than a 1yr deal though. Low if any guaranteed money. Brown/Williams/Rookie/FA vet/Atmen? Isn’t bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Cobb would be the only one I would touch. Crabtree and Carr's relationship kind of soured the last year from reports from the bay area media members so I don't think that would be an option. I don't think they will pick up a vet WR until the draft is over and then address it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) At this point Houston returning to end as he played Georgia makes the most sense if you want impact. He can still play, and will be a good mentor Already growing a little worried about the front seven. I need to linebackers at least, Two or three edge players And still have means in the secondary.

I'm hoping about 5 of our picks go to the front seven on our defense. That way they all have 4 years to grow together. I know that sounds crazy, but our weakest link on this team is the front seven, by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to add an edge in free agency. Apparently, we made a late push for Golden but missed. The only edge's left on the market are Justin Houston, Clay Matthews, Ziggy Ansah, Shane Ray, Benson Mayowa, and Derrick Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
