I have been calling for King for months now. After we got rid of Joyner and his ties to Bradley he seems like a logical choice. I believe Bradley was the DC when the Chargers drafted King. King can also play multiple positions and special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great first two years then fell off a cliff. Jackson was okay till last year then got smoked. I'd take both on prove it deals with Hooker to finish the off season.

Humble_Beast Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Titans had the same problem as the Raiders, no pass rush. Dbs always look bad when Qbs can just sit back and pick them apart.

If you look at his 49er tape they used him more as a defense of end and sometimes used him inside but in college he played primarily inside. I'm willing to bet the Raiders are going to only use them inside. Here's something I found: “I would definitely say that I like playing inside,” Thomas told Michael Robinson recently. “That’s where I made my bread and butter at Stanford. I like playing from that 3-technique. I think I can be real disruptive there. I can get into guards. I mean, I can be a great pass rusher off the edge there (too). I really like the inside, but I also think that’s what makes me special—my versatility and to move to the outside if you need (me) to. But inside, I feel like is where I can make my money.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Raider Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Worth a flier on a guy that probably hasn't even reached his peak yet and was a top 5 pick. Those guys do find success at his age with a fresh start from time to time. And I have always been confused as to why he has seen so much time playing on the edge for SF. I thought he would make his money in the NFL as an interior rusher. And that's exactly what we will ask of him, as well as some 5T as the big end I'm sure. Another guy that if he plays up to the level he can will likely be a bargain and brings a lot of versatility to the defense. He also could just be a total bust and not offer much, but if the base value is 2 or 3 million it's certainly worth a roll of the dice to see if we can bring out some of that top 5 pedigree. I like the signing. It's entirely possible he doesn't even make it out of camp. But on a small, one year, prove it deal, it's worth it. See if a change of scenery and how he is deployed can help.

His read on king may be short sited but I know he really wanted to like Jackson (due to draft status and personality) and thought he was nothing but a burn victim. Also davante adams absolutely torching him this year may be some recency bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, hope we sign a RT, FS,CB by the weekend. Then we can sign cheap depth for the minimum the upcoming weeks leading up to the draft.

NYRaider Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 We'll get to see if Rod is really the coach that Gruden hypes him up to be, our DL took a major step back last season. But he has some pieces to coach up now with Crosby, Yannick, Ferrell, Key, Hurst, Thomas, and Jefferson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key I'm meh on because he's showed things and then been bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he's also a guy that could be coached up to be a decent rotational piece if we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
