Wonder if the plan is to start him at RG, move him to LG when Incognito is done, and let Good and Parker battle it out for RT. The value is bad (would have preferred JOK), much too early for an RG with bigger needs and better players available, but he could end up being better than Darrisaw when it's all said and done. Definitely wouldn't have been my first (or second) choice, but I don't hate this selection as much as I thought I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I expect Leatherwood to be a solid RT as a rookie and maybe moved to G later if we get another T in the 3rd like Brown. Grudock doesn't like risk until 3rd round so...Trade down value must have sucked because Darrisaw has better value buy Leatherwood can play anywhere but C.

We’re gonna draft Milton Williams at 48 tomorrow with Jevon Holland on the board. I’m not joking. I love how some people are taking about his PLAYER X is on the board still and could make it to us in round 2... thereby salvaging the draft. what has Mayock ever done to make us believe he’s gonna get value? JOK could be there at 48 and we’d take Milton Williams. even if a JOK , Baremore, Moehrig is the pick at 48 this is still a bad draft because we massively reached at 17. we should have traded down and gotten a ton of picks if we really believed Leatherwood was the guy for us. Year in and year out we lose around what if guesstimate off the top of my head as a 2nd and 4th round pick by reaching. Essentially we’re giving away our 2nd and 4th for nothing. You can’t build a team drafting like that year in and year out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I genuinely don't even know if this guy beats out Brandon Parker for the starting RT spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was. If we really wanted him, we could have traded up to 38-40 in the 2nd and got him. There is no defending this. Anyone trying is a clear homer and should be ashamed of themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true2form Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Solid player who fills an immediate need. That’s all I can muster anymore. We just don’t play the same value game that everyone else does. Just have to hope he’s a prove em wrong and not prove em right player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll come around and root for him, but if I was Mark Davis, I fire Gruden and Mayock before the season even starts. Dead serious. We aren’t goinf anywhere with those two.

He's a Raider now so I'll cheer for him like no other. I hope Cable grooms him into a high-end RT, or at worst G. It was a need, he has all the athleticism in the world. Let's mold him into a beast and have our bookends for the next decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my hope. I eviscerated the Kolton Miller pick and it turned out I was wrong. I wanted McGlinchey over him and OL is my worst evaluation so I'll hope I'm wrong again.

This is what happens when you give two TV analysts full control over personnel decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was. Absolutely not but he was the guy they wanted who probably wouldn't have been there in the 2nd so they got their guy. This isn't me endorsing their decision but instead just noting their philosophy. I liked other people as well but Leatherwood is a good player.
