Obviously, Spytek and Leonard didn't think McDonald was all that. No need to panic.

I’m thinking Carson Beck in the 3rd

Also wonder if we’ll draft another young QB to battle it out with AOC for the 3rd QB slot

Maybe in the seventh. Which i wouldn't be opposed to. Aiden is a free agent next year anyways. So going to need some kind of backup

The draft in Pittsburg looks boring as f[raiders_icon]ck. But the entertainment in here from keyboard wannabe nfl gm's is damn funny and entertaining.

Yup...after only 2 picks, our draft and our season and our future is doomed. SMH.

Very well could be. I just saw a lot more potential free safeties available later in the draft than nose tackle. Nose tackle is a big need in the defensive scheme we're running and we just can't plug some shlub in there and expect to keep blockers off our linebackers. That's my line of thinking.

Yeah we need a NT but the position is deep so there is time to vet our guy, as much as i’m a trenches guy i’ll say safety was as big a need as NT

We didn't reach for a safety we took a 2nd round guy in the second round

If i was you stay away from bridges if you get you knicker in this much of a twist about not drafting the guy you wanted

One deserves another.

We definitely need a DT but I believe there are more quality ones than in the secondary. I’m typically a trenches guy but we need both.

I agree we got 2 3rd and lots of good players left

If McNeil-Warren is there at 67 I wonder of we would double dip at Safety

Stukes & McNeil-Warren would be a hell of a combo

The meltdown would go into overload if that happens

If we don’t go OL tonight at all then the Samaritan's phone lines are gonna be overloaded with Raiders fans

I have it on good authority that there are those in this forum who believe they are more qualified than Spytek and Leonard
