And that's without us adding anyone. JSN = Bowers. Kupp is old and Shaheed is a one trick pony as a pass catcher. One who is probably equivalent to Tucker. And the Pats have Diggs, who at this stage is nowhere near Bowers as a pass catcher.

I do believe we need to add someone, but a Pickens or AJ Brown or any other overpriced Alpha is completely unnecessary.
You named all these guys and I'm even more convinced we need to add talent lol. Jokes aside I think Shaheed is a no brainer and you let Thornton/Bech develop a year before you get aggressive. I just think our guys suck until proven otherwise

I watched the first few .minutes and turned it off. They were talking about Mendoza like he is a 3rd round talent who is elevated because teams want quarterbacks. They both come across extremely jealous of his success and talent.

Honestly, all Cur Brother content should go in “Emo Andy” or be banned entirely. They provide nothing, and more often than not are merely used by CurStans to incite response.

Enough is enough. It’s a sad chapter in Raiders’ history. Let’s move forward.

I love the idea of Shaheed and grabbing Cooper (Indiana) in the draft, and see where we’re at. If we are frighteningly insufficient in the WR room, one can always find something midseason like Seattle did to acquire Shaheed.

Other than that, make a move for a “#1” in next year’s (‘27) draft or FA. Someone like Olave.

I like the idea of using our 2nd round pick on a 1st round talent who slipped a little, regardless of position (TE and RB being the exceptions). If it's a WR I'm all for grabbing one in the 2nd.

Shaheed would be a decent addition but he’s struggled to even be a solid #2 so far. The return ability adds to his value but if you’re serious about adding an impact type of wideout then look elsewhere.

Ughhhh with the mentor crap again. It's wayyyyy overrated. These guys are not trying to be mentors anymore. At any position.

Agreed..and I don’t care about the number two ,third receiver stuff,he’s one of the most explosive players in the league.we could use that.

Special teams can't be understated. Field position wins games. The rules have been encouraging organizations to take those snaps seriously. Shaheed offers a ton of value there. I don't think he'll be that expensive either

No way the Raiders add a WR in the 1-5th round after drafting Beck and Thorton last year.

They really need QB, LB, DT, CB in that order. Let last years O-line rookie play and one would think the line would improve dramatically with new coaching. Adding a free agent O-line would be a great start also.

I wouldn't say no way. Nobody knows whose going to be available at the top the the 2nd/3rd. Maybe they hit oline/defense hard in free agency and really make some ground there. #1 overall covers QB. From there it could really open up the options after the big picture develops after FA
