I thought it starts next week?
Rookie minicamp starts tomorrow...... May 1-3. https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/story/ ... 858329007/
That's what I was thinking. They would have taken him at some point, but knew he would be gone by that point so in a sense he wasn't really on their boards.chucker wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2026 9:40 am It wouldn't surprise me if those 5 teams would be unwilling to spend a 4th on him but I think it might be hyperbole for them to say he was off their boards completely. Get down to the 6th or 7th and I think he was likely a no-brainer for any team - even if they thought he was a 20% chance to have a few years of play. Not enough low picks pan out to pass on a guy with his talent level even with a huge injury risk.
nope, rooks report tomorrow
Yep. At some point pro-bowl rookie Shaduer Sanders looks good.chucker wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2026 9:40 am It wouldn't surprise me if those 5 teams would be unwilling to spend a 4th on him but I think it might be hyperbole for them to say he was off their boards completely.

Yeah they will definitely need to have other doctors opinions, then they will have to do whatever they have to do. Hopefully its not as serious as it seems, but if it is then so be it. If he doesnt play this year that will be a 2 year break from playing.chucker wrote: Sun Apr 26, 2026 6:32 am How they deal with the knee will be interesting. There are teams that believe he needs another surgery if he's going to have a long career. McCoy says he is ready to go but will go with what the team wants with respect to whether he gets surgery. Do they let him play in 2026 and risk the degenerative knee, or have the surgery and make it a redshirt year.
It's possible that the best move for the Raiders is to just let him play and take the chance that a 4th rounder never sees a second contract - he ran in the 4.3's with his knees as-is. But the best move for McCoy is probably a surgery and redshirt year.
A lesson learned learned not to read Secretariat the night before the draftRabidraider wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 5:50 am We have pissed away a 1st rounder on a guy with an aortic tear so spending a 4th on a guy who ran a 4.37 or such is fine with me.
I think the real question is his ability to cut, plant, turn. Straight line speed is different. Hopefully he's at rookie minicamp and looking good. Ideally he doesn't miss two entire years of football, because the list of guys who return to form skill-wise after that can't be long.Rabidraider wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 5:50 am We have pissed away a 1st rounder on a guy with an aortic tear so spending a 4th on a guy who ran a 4.37 or such is fine with me.
