bucksavage1 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 . My concern with this move is that the Raiders are already a quick target for flags and now with Burfict, he'll be suspended before mid season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Raider Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I don't mind the move. Its not likely to be a franchise changer, but hes still relatively young, has played at a very high level in the past, has an extensive history with the current coordinator, we have nothing at LB, and hes a veteran that could be a very useful presence on a team that will likely have a ton of youth in the front seven. I think a veteran MLB makes a lot of sense on a team likely to dradt a couple edge rushers early and probably another LB to man the weak side. Asking a rookie to QB the defense on a team with a ton of youth up front just makes it their job that much more difficult. Its very low risk, and could have a decent reward. I would have like Marshall more, but the past ties make sense. Would still love a guy like Devin Bush if hes available with one of the later firsts. He could slide into the WLB spot perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksavage1 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 However we were starved for linebacking veteran talent. Im glad we addressed it finally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a violent sport and he will make people think twice about going over the middle if he is healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Dennard next? would really improve of CBs with a bunch of depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'm not crazy about it but we needed to add a veteran LB before the draft. Whitehead and Burfict were both bad last year but they've played well in the past and both guys are still fairly young. Hopefully Nicolas Morrow and Jason Cabinda can step up next year and be rotational guys for us and we add a LB in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait... You know what, never mind, I won't. That is a defect of character. I will always ride for and root for my Nation. I won't for this trashcan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
