Getting a guy who can back him up with a young guy with some potential is a good decision instead of relying on a washed vet like Heath or KJ. Speculation obviously but maybe Gus Bradley isn’t all that impressed with what’s he seen on Abram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Bradley recognises the importance of depth given what happened to James at the Chargers. Have to wait and see I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except singlehandedly ruining the season when he blew our second Chiefs win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could always be correct but I feel like Abram was on the short list of guys that were not touchable. And if that was the case you would probably want to get his replacement earlier in the draft. I’m holding off judgment on Abram until Gus gets his hands on him. He’s the reasons why you would bring in a coach like him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle. He has flashed top-level safety play and made horrible undisciplined mental mistakes. If he plays well, great. If he doesn't, good to have a contingency plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what every average to bad player in the league plays like. Great players make very few mistakes, many plus plays. Good players make a few good plays, always seem solid. Average players are mostly solid, not many plus plays. Anyone who makes bad mistakes often is straight out a bad player, regardless of the good. Raider fans typically can't see or accept this. Abram, thus far, is an absolute bust of a first rounder. It's as if when you view each player then our defense sounds like it would be great. But noone seems to have a rational explanation as to why we are a bottom 5 defense yearly. Surely none of these guys can be nearly as good as Raider fans would make it sound like they are. Abram is a wreck of a pick thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abram is a wreck of a pick thus far. He has only played 1 year really at safety for us. I will give him this year with Bradley and the staff. If he can't make significant improvement, he's outta here. But you can't deny he has top tier physical talent for the position. Which is why I want to see what he can do this year. Again, if he can't get it done, I'm with you 100%. But I tend to give draft picks 3 years to fully evaluate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Abrams has a chance to be really good in this defense but if not I think this other guy can be really good too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
