Then use our 1st round pick on Jevon Holland who's a NCB/S hybrid we could move all over the field. CB1 - Mullen CB2 - Arnette NCB - Holland SS - Abram FS - Simmons That looks really good. I remember reading it’s a good free agent safety class. Hopefully Irving just lights it up for us. It’s 50/50 could change needs: R1- FS R2- RT R3- LB/NT getting aFS and Edge In free agency, would be amazing for the defense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Harris, Justin Simmons, and Marcus Maye are all set to be free agents this year. FS, DT, and Edge could all be big needs or just minor needs depending on trades we make and/or how our guys develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOaktown_56 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If we can't land a top safety and we don't move Joyner there (facepalm), Andre Cisco would be a great option in the mid-late first. He reminds me a lot of Juan Thornhill, who I like a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyner, Tyrell Williams, Marcus Mariota are all almost certain to be gone while Trent “Covid” Brown, Gabe Jackson OR Incognito are likely to be cut and Heath + Nassib (despite his dead cap hit, it might be worth eating 5.75M to free up 3.5M) have a good chance of being cut. were basically right at the cap limit (if you include the ‘20 cap carry over as of today) so we definitely need to free up money. Joyner, Mariota, and Williams would give us enough to resign the few FAs we have plus the draft class and some cheap FAs. But given the fact that with a bunch of teams are in cap hell and almost all teams will really feel the cap crunch of the lowered salary cap.... I’d guess there will be some good deals available in FA. id like to see us target 1-2 Good starters (not necessarily 10M+ APY contracts) early in FA and then a few depth pieces after the money dries up and there are good values. Id target a FS at the bottom of the first tier... one that might end up being a “discounted” contract. I like Cisco a lot. He’s more of the classic FS while Jevon Holland is more of a playmaker who moves around. There’s just so many Safeties available in the draft and FA it’s hard to really lock onto just one right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might be able to grab him in the second round to be honest. Trevon Moehrig and Richard LeCounte III are two other safeties that I like who should be available in the 2nd/3rd round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my dream scenarios is to sign Justin Simmons in free agency and then land Holland in the 2nd round. Use Holland all over the field but primarily as a slot CB that can move back to S if we bring Abram into the box.

Yes... holland plays differently but projects to play the same role within a defense. im glad everyone’s coming around on holland.... I’ve been big on him for a while.

I just think in general, assembling a formidable secondary like Denver did back in the day can make a team very one dimensional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m glad you chimes in as well. Yeah.... Robertson just needs some time. Joyner has actually played decent imo.... which is why Robertson hasn’t been on the field much. I think if this was Joyners first year on the team we’d be happy with his play (but hopeful it improved).... but because he was so bad last year (which I think was overblown and there were valid reasons for) the fans aren’t giving Joyner the props he deserves. Sucks no matter how he plays he’s most likely cut this offseason, unless He takes a paycut down to like 4-5M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Raiders need to invest heavily into the DL with this draft. Cant care about the feelings of Maxx and Ferrell. Need to bring in a bendable/Twitchy pass rusher and a big body to replace Hankins at DT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything we run 2 penetrating type DT's after drafting one. I want a twitchy edge rusher I agree. Someone with more speed who can catch mahomes/more mobile qb's. Kwity Paye comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
