Henderson. Traded already, Now a backup in Carolina. Terrell. 22 games, 22 starts. One of the best CBs in the league this season. Arnette. Cut. Igbinoghene. Backup, 3 starts in his career. Gladney. Cut. 3 CBs drafted in the 2nd (Johnson, Diggs, Fulton) and they're all starting and obviously playing much better than 5 of those 6 1st round CBs. Too bad that Atlanta took Terrell because iirc all the rumors were we had our eyes set on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again why I keep saying he would be a good slot corner. Hopefully he gets his head on straight and gets to a team that will use him properly. It's difficult to be a good slot CB when you can't tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a concern coming out of college but I think he can figure that one out. He could have been good by now with good coaching and not having his other setbacks, The first thing he needs to work on if he is ever going to be successful is to realize he is a professional and needs to act that way on the field and off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he lacked the physicality to be able to consistently tackle guys in the open field, IIRC he said he played at like 175 pounds.

He is a willing tackler and that is the first step. A broken hand and the weight loss did ot help but you could still see some tackling issues in college. Like I said though he should have been able to clean it up after 1.5 years in the pros. Does not matter if you are being used incorrectly or not.

I can be mad since Fulton was my guy and he was available. Funny because LSU Tredavious White was also my guy in 2017 when they picked another bust Ohio State CB.

It really bothers me all the leaks the Raiders seem to have in their building. DJ Hayden, AJ, and Kolton come to mind as picks that seemed to be leaked before hand, and I know there were more too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take input from everyone but do not tell anyone who the final prospect is. Narrow it down to 3-5 guys but that is where everyone else has no idea. When was the last time you saw an insider report that a teams choice has come down to these 5 players. Gruden probably told everyone who we were going to take because he really does not care. He wants vets. Hopefully this year is different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is crazy how long we have had unsealed leaks like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakdb36 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Raiders signed WR Tyron Johnson. Had a good rookie season with the Chargers last year. Pretty fast guy (4.3). Edited November 18, 2021 by oakdb36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
