baconrad11 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Good deal for Littleton on the Raiders' part, considering what we thought he'd get. Do the Raiders have a lot of money to burn or something? Because they've invested a lot of money into the LB position...which in my eyes is the least important one on defense. Teams should treat it like they do the RB....dont invest much in one guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with Kwiatkowski and I don’t think you’ll find any Raider fans that are upset with what we’ve done so far. Not at all I think it's a great move. Even a decent linebacker will be an upgrade for the Giants though. A lot of mocks have Kenneth Murray going to the Raiders at 19. Wonder who gets put in that spot now? A WR at 12 and a CB at 19?

I know Littleton looks stringy, but he is like the T1000 when linemen try to block him. Now just sign Waynes and the team is really freed in up the draft. They are in on Waynes? Source?

We signed Will Compton half way through the season off his couch and he was our starting MIKE. That's unacceptable. Now we have two viable starters and that is huge for the entire D. We have our bookends in Ferrell and Crosby, some decent rotational DT's in Hankins, Hurst, and Hall although noone elite. And a good young CB in Mullen and the same in S with Abram. We needed playmakers and we got a big one in Littleton. I expect us to sign one more bigger named CB and then in the draft go in with no major needs.

Honestly, I see Las Vegas being one of the most attractive teams for free agents now, due to it's location, new stadium, history, etc...and the fact that you guys have a competent GM in place with a SB winning HC (regardless of whether Gruden is as good as some people believe, he's still a big name) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconrad11 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's not like the Raiders are overpaying for these guys, which is a great sign of how attractive of a destination you are for players. Bad teams overpay guys because they don't want to play there unless they break the bank. Good, well-run teams pay market or below-mark value for good players. Welcome to the club, Vegas. NFL is gonna be a LOT more fun with a good Raiders team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezy Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Great deal for the Raiders! This is the first time we’ve invested in LB In quite some time, been a black hole in our defense since Gruden’s first stint in Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see us going after a WR and CB but maybe a top prospect falls to 12 and we end up going WR with 19, I’d like us to add one of Jeudy or Lamb but you never know...... I can’t see us taking a LB high though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 WOW At that price you won't hear me complain. Now unless Simmons falls to 12 we don't need to draft a LB in the 1st round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too dependant on the DL in front. Oh please you’d be absolutely jumping with joy if your team signed him to this deal. Sour grapes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
