raidersedge Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This is how the draft works, just keep adding great players to your roster. Raiders usually don't understand value. He'll be a fan favorite when the season starts. A+ draft pick we never see anything like this, its a very strange feeling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily one of the best picks we've made in years and for his first pick Telesco nailed it! Super excited about the rest of this draft if it plays out like this. Blue Chip Player. Agree with this. It was a surprising pick for me as I think Mayer is going to be superb but it’s a true BPA pick. Having the two super TEs will really be a safety net for a QB. Personally, I would have gone with a #1 CB or a RT but I guess they have some belief in Munford who did flash a little. Who knows, with all the offensive players being taken some great D players will obviously now fall…….. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find ways to get the best players on the field. The fact is, I'd much rather have Bower than Fuaga. We will get OT and CB in the next few rounds. I'm just enthused that these guys said **** it let's get the best player on the board. -Source: me several drinks in Exactly.

In hindsight I'd say I rather take a RT - the CBs seem to not seen as good or high valued from the NFL teams as it was from the experts. I just hope that we use both of our young TEs well enough - I don't want to end up with Kyle Pitts 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that 6 QBs went so early. Odds are that 4 will be busts 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 There is still a ton of OL and CB help on the board. There isn’t any more Brock Bowers available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we go line or corner depending on value and wait on any QBs till later now. Wouldn’t mind a wide receiver either. We’ve all seen tons of Georgia football over the years it’s just when your car needs tires and you get a new paint job instead after you just got 1 last year. Plus we signed that fa te. We had bigger holes than te imo. Sure he’s a great player just like mayer last year but without blocking etc last year we barely got our te’s involved. Imo the only way the middle of the field gonna open up is if we have options on the outside with a qb that can attack it. Which is yet to be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I was underwhelmed initially but shouldn’t be when you get someone of Bowers quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 After sleeping on it, I am still not crazy about this pick. I was lower on Bowers throughout draft season because I didn't see the elite receiver prospect he was being marketed as. He's much more compact than the elite tight ends of the modern era. It seems like he's more Gerald Everett and Evan Ingram than Travis Kelce or George Kittle. And, I am really wary of prospects described as "weapons." The best offensive players in the NFL aren't amorphous weapons dependent on play-calling and scheme. Guys like Samuel and Harvin are rare, not tight ends, and have had widely fluctuating production throughout their careers. I would have preferred Fuaga.

There hasn't even been a Bowers in any draft since... I don't know, Vernon Davis? He's better than Pitts coming out (not the insane measurables likely but a much better all around producer). Same with Hockenson, Bowers was a better prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Brock sounds like a willing blocker at the very least. He's not going to be another Tackle but he won't be a Waller either. Of course he will have to get stronger, everyone does, but he isn't just a finesse guy out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
