No way Oakland is going to pay him like 25 million or something. Chucky's going to take his chances with a guy coming out of the Draft; maybe on a guy like Oregon's Justin Herbert.

Three first-round picks sounds great, but I wouldn't trust anybody in Oakland to use those picks effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr can be cut in the offseason for just a $7.5M cap charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bear Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 3 first rounders is a lot of draft capital. Assuming the Raiders finish within the bottom 5, they'll have a choice of which QB to take. The only other team that will probably be taking a QB in the Top 5 is the Giants. The Raiders could potentially deal Carr, too, before the deadline, which would be a borderline tank and most likely a Top-2 secured pick. A team like Jacksonville, although not admitting they need a QB, might be desperate enough to give a 1st rounder for Carr as an attempt to save their season. 3 or 4 first rounders, if used smart, can definitely turn around the Raiders. Use the one to get a QB, another one for a DE, maybe trade down one for some more high draft picks the following year. The Raiders have the means, the question is if they can pull it off. In 5 years, either Gruden's a genius or one of the biggest idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing to succeed in Vegas. And no, he wont draft a QB. Gruden likes veteran QBs that are past their prime and should be backups, or doesnt develop what he drafts...see history in Tampa Bay: Brad Johnson, Brian Griese, Chris Simms (drafted), Bruce Gradkowski (drafted), Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown I'll say it now, but he'll have his old vet QB.....guys like Ryan Fitzpatrick, Sam Bradford, Derek Anderson...but the guy I think is a sleeper for Gruden is Eli manning.

DS729 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 On one hand, I am happy to see good players shipped out of a :censored:ty organization like the Raiders, but what the hell is Gruden's strategy at this point? At least this wasn't as lob-sided as the Mack trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how poor Oakland's track record has been when it comes to the Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 SBCPE lost yet another starter for the season today, this time DE Derrick Barnett. It’s absurd how many injuries they’ve had in the past two years.

Rockstar Matt Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Love the Cooper trade, but as long as we still have Garrett and Linehan, coupled with Dak still not trusting his eyes/throwing with anticipation, it won’t change the direction the Cowboys are heading towards. Which is 7 to 9 wins, aka. football purgatory. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not going to take them above 7-9 wins, why give up a 1st round pick (a player that should be a starter that you're not paying a lot) for a guy that's going to get paid a lot? I've never seen him so I don't know if he's worth a 1 on paper, but that's territory usually reserved for superstars.

I've never seen him so I don't know if he's worth a 1 on paper, but that's territory usually reserved for superstars. Calvin Watkins of The Athletic D/FW put it best yesterday: Quote The last time the Cowboys gave up a first-round pick for a wide receiver was in 2008. Dallas gave up three picks, including a 2009 first-rounder, to the Lions for Roy Williams. Dallas also signed Williams to a five-year contract extension worth $45 million. It was a terrible deal. In 40 games and 29 starts, Williams made just 94 catches for 1,324 yards and 11 touchdowns. You would think the Cowboys learned from this, but desperation changes everything. The Cowboys believe they can still reach the playoffs and the future is positive with Prescott as the quarterback. If the team can’t make this work and finishes 7-9 or 8-8, Oakland will pick in the middle of the first round. If the Cowboys kept that pick, they may have selected a wide receiver anyway. If they reach the postseason and Cooper is a positive influence for them, the trade could be worth it. Dallas could then look for a safety, defensive end, or tight end in the second round.

Discrim Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I know one thing, sometimes something happens that's so absurd you'd think it was made up...and then you hear who was involved, and think it's absurd enough that of course it happened to that guy. Soon to be former Bronco Swag Kelly is one such person. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
