Awsi Dooger Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 6 minutes ago, Turnobili said: such a shame that drafting a WR to play full time RB with a day 2 pick didnt work out In watching Bowden with the Dolphins last year it was difficult to believe anyone ever viewed him as a running back. He was okay at receiver, albeit not sudden or explosive enough. Looks like a guy you can live with but would always like to upgrade. Drake contract is one of few that really surprised me on the high end. I saw a comment in this thread that he ruined fantasy guys last season. How is that possible? Kenyan Drake has always been a tease. He has never been trusted with anything close to a full load, regardless of college or pro or any head coach. Part timer who can do quite a bit with some of those touches. Raiders need to get the ball into the end zone in key situations. Maybe Drake's versatility will help. I still have visions of that laughably incompetent red zone play calling late last season, specifically overtime versus the Chargers and several times versus the Dolphins.

Don't mean to thread hijack, I just wasn't full expecting it. If they were to do Chase Edmonds dirty like that after all he's done when healthy and given the opportunity is produce... then again... that sounds like an extremely Steve Keim thing to do.

Forge Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I legitimately have no idea what the Raiders are doing, to be honest. It seems like they never have a fully formed plan...they just zig and zag with whatever opportunity is there. I think that's a long standing Gruden tradition though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
