It's a big gamble, but there's nothing wrong with taking a big gamble at this point in the draft.

That’s why you pick him in the 4th and not the 1st where he would have gone if not for the knee

This team can NOT afford to take gambles like this. Not enough building around Mendoza going on and its puzzling.

Even if it’s 3-4 years of starter level play I think it’s worth a 4th, especially for what we will be paying him.

I'm sure the osteo docs have this figured out.

Hmmm...trashed knee & needs another surgery...sounds right up our alley lol

I sure can do without the "guest" presenters announcing draft picks!

4th is too soon for this type of gamble. Coming off injury and not playing for a year and his other knee might be shot as well. He has a chance of missing this year too

Well at this point in the draft I guess they thought a 4th rd pick is worth the gamble, looks like DT and receiver is not that high a need on the Raiders board

If that knee checks out then this is a hell of a pick

The kid is only 20 so even if he needs that second surgery he still has age on his side

Anyone confident Porter will beat him out?

Absolutely zero problem taking a shot there.

Nakobe Dean fell to pick 83 for medical concerns.

Reports are that second surgery could be career ending

Welcome to the team, and good luck.
