Well, 2022 didn’t go as expected for the silver and black. Back to the drawing board.
Legend has it that Tom Brady wants to be a Raider. Two days ago I tweeted that if that were to happen I wouldn’t support the team for as long as he was a Raider, but I am having second thoughts… if they re-sign Josh Jacobs at all costs. I’d rather have Brady and Jacobs than no Brady and no Jacobs. But as for the quarterback position goes, I’d rather have Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Garappolo, or Lamar Jackson sign with the Raiders over Brady. Rodgers is still in his prime, Garappolo seems to know only how to win. Lamar Jackson is the most electrifying QB since Randall Cunningham. In terms of financial sense, Jackson is commanding the most and Garappolo would be a bargain.
In terms of the draft, if they get any of the four aforementioned QBs, the Raiders should draft a cornerback or offensive lineman with the seventh overall pick. The defense, save for Maxx Crosby, Denzel Perryman, Travon Moehrig, and Duane Harmon (Last 2 safeties, so they don’t need those) has got more holes in it than a golf course. In terms of the offensive line, any position would be helpful.
Here’s how I would draft and the positions I would. I saw on a video that the team has nine picks this year, excluding any compensatory picks. I’ll just do the nine picks.
1: CB
2: OL
3: DT
4: MLB
4: IOL
5: OT
6: OLB
7: WR
7: RB
