jimkelly02 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 PICK ANALYSIS: "Randall is what today's free safety is all about. He is by far the best cover safety in this draft. Randall can play man-to-man; he has cornerback-level cover skills. You give up some physicality, but his coverage ability is where the NFL is going. Remember Jimmie Ward was a first-rounder last year (to the 49ers) with a similar skill set." -- Mike Mayock http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/damarious-randall?id=2552389 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 This definitely is the "get faster and more dynamic" on the back end signing. There are actually a fair amount of similarities between delpit and randall, which takes us out of the Delpit sweepstakes. CB all the way!

That's another reason I can't see us investing early draft capital into another LB. I see a lot of defensive sets where we play Randall/Harris at S and play Abram in the box in a WLB role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just now, MrOaktown_56 said: Versatility and speed are king in todays NFL. Yup. That's why we added two LB's that can cover and Heath. Three guys that can cover LB's and RB's and also be effective coming down hill in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I love all of the moves that we've made this offseason. Kwit/Littleton at LB and Abram/Randall at safety should transform our entire defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble_Beast Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 from twitter New Raiders safety Demarious Randall allowed 8 TDs in coverage last season per @sportradar, tied for 2nd most in NFL. His 27 TDs allowed since entering league in 2015 are 2nd most to Malcolm Butler's 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last 3 years he’s given up 4,3,2 TDs according to PFF (see Sanjit’s video) and 4,2,6 according to the link below which is a good site. https://sisdatahub.com/players/2986 it’s not always easy to say who gave up the TD when it isn’t plain man coverage. It seems like every site has different numbers. Edited April 8, 2020 by jimkelly02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 So Randall got 1.5M guaranteed and can earn up to 3.25M. Cap hit is listed at 2.1M (base salary + 600k bonus, probably active game bonus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Reading up and watching a little more on Randall and he's got some skills and upside but I dont think he will drastically change our draft strategy. He can start probably but I dont see him as a player who would prevent our FO from selecting a safety high in the draft if we thought he was a starting calibre player with a lot of upside, I'm thinking of guys like Delpit, McKinney, Winfield, Davis, Chinn and it could be that we try and take a raw guy with upside knowing Randall can hold the fort for a year until he's up to speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotrac has 1.5m but they literally just take OTC’s info and are less accurate. They never ever come out with the contract details first. And as soon as OTC posts a player they immediately update their page. right not spotrac says its 1.5m salary plus ”Contract Notes: Incentives: $1.75M (Pro Bowl, playing time)” does anyone know why OTC (but not spotrac) had these players signings originally listed with lower caps then jumped them up: mariota- 7.5 to 9.125 Heath- 2.85 to 3.6 Witten- 4.0 to 4.75 Collins- 6.0 to 6.25 AND Yet in MY salary cap spread sheet I use the lower, original amounts and come up with a remaining cap of 8.809M (with draft class) and OtC has us at 8.832M, only .025M off..... yet those players cap increased total 3.375M It’s just wierd I don’t get it plus Erik Harris jumped from 2.5 to 3.25 on both sites with a “misc” bonus. I suspect he hit an incentive last year. Edited April 9, 2020 by jimkelly02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he hit an incentive last year. Imo, and i'm not sure about that, it's the incentives. There are 2 types. "Likely to be earned" (based on previous season's performance by the player) and "not likely to be earned". "Likely to be earned" are already counting against the cap. If the LTBE isn't reached, it goes as a credit to the team's salary cap the next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
