I like Michael Mayer, but B in my opinion is generous. I guess if they are grading on a curve then yeah he's a B compared to the rest of the wasteland.

Pretty easy to see why we're a bad team.

Decades of bad drafts are a big reason for the losing.

This is 100% the real and true problem with the Raiders football team. They can't draft for shit!
I "play" arm-chair GM like a lot of people and my draft looked nothing like this shit-turd team.
While it is never real, we waste way to many picks and not many pan out at all.

Exactly, that and coaching.

Not only have we struck out horribly but when you look back at the years we didn't draft very many OL much less in the upper rounds and when we did a few years back it was leatherwood.

63 picks in total...

2023) 0
2022) Parham 3rd, Munford 7th
2021) Leatherwood 1st, Morrissey 7th
2020) Simpson 4th
2019) 0
2018) Miller 1st, Parker 3rd
2017) Sharpe 4th, Ware 7th
2016) Alexander 7th

Two 1st
Zero 2nd
Two 3rd
Two 4th
Four 7th

I bet overall we felt that is was pretty good the day after the draft, 'cause that's what we do.
