BABYLON 5 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 25 minutes ago, RaidersAreOne said: I have been very hot and cold with R.Smith. At this point in time I would prefer to go a different direction (Ward, Fitz, James, etc) but wouldn't be upset with Smith at all. My only concern is if he is a true MLB. I think he would be an elite OLB but question his ability to an extent of being a true MLB. Then again speed is everything nowadays, even at MLB. Leadership Tackling ability Speed Coverage IQ Beats blockers with speed All areas he excels at. The only major problems he has is getting eaten up once a blocker is engaged with him, and the "medical red flag" I have heard about at the combine. I know he pulled a hammy (?), but thought I heard it was more serious. Any updates on this? I will love if we get to pick Roquan I just don't think he will make it to us .He just destroyed this center but like Riddick said they said the same thing about Willis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all things were equal, a RT would be worth it in my eyes. I get it, but protecting the blindside is more important in most cases. Do we trust Tom Cable to develop Oline talent? Or work with the talent they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people have completely over thought it with him. Teams won't however.... Indy I hear really likes him. 9ers as well. A lot would have to fall right for him to make it to 10 and I sure hope it does. He's special. I've not had more fun watching a player at UGA in recent memory.

oakdb36 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 http://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/raiders/raiders-seven-round-mock-draft-defense-five-first-six-picks The first 3 picks would be amazing.

NJ Raider Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 https://mobile.twitter.com/RaidersSource/status/988869709083922432 Anybody see this? Looks like LaCanfora actually had a credible story. Would much rather have best defender available in the first and Crosby in the second. Hopefully the nonbelievers are the ones that make the decision.

Seems like they're (Miller and Crosby) are being discussed as 2nd rounders according to that tweet (Crosby is not going in the first, let alone top 10). Also lol Victor Cotto.

Top 8 wishlist (at least 2 QB drafted ahead): Barkley Chubb Ward Roquan Edmunds James Fitzpatrick Nelson (move KO to tackle) I just Don’t know about moving KO to tackle. We know he’s a All pro guard. But what he’s going to be at tackle is a unknown.Good list. Dream scenario is Chubb falls to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also lol Victor Cotto. I took it as taking Miller in the first (hopefully in a trade down scenario) vs. Crosby in the second when they said value. Cotto can be arrogant and too political for my taste, but I check out his tweets from time to time. Do question his sources at times but some times he is right. Hopefully your interpretation is what he meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I have definitely talked myself into Mike McGlinchey recently and have prepared myself for him to be the pick so I won’t be let down on Thursday. I wouldn’t do it, but I can see why they would that him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 wouldn't be mad at a trade up to number 4 to select Bradley Chubb.. Imagine Mack and Chubb causing nightmares for QBs......maybe part with a second rounder, I wanted to draft a CB there, but maybe roll the dice with Worley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is still prime franchise QB range and teams are going to be willing to give up a ton to get their guy. No way we move up imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting a RT at 10 over what will obviously be there just doesn't make sense however. I agree with a lot of what you say. I have for years. But I dont believe in a spot being too high if he is your guy. If you think he is a perinail pro bowler at RT and that the next guy is a good starter at say DT or whatever. You go with the pro bowler in my opinion. Like Walsh used to say if you have him as a top five guy and think other have him as a third rounder you take him in the top five. Or something to that effect. Because if you have him ranked high chances are so does someone else. You take your guy when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Dobalina Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Mcglinchey Reminds me of Brian Buluga. Too slow feet to play LT in the NFL, and was undoubtedly made to look a lot better playing next to Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
