    I've used PFF's mock draft simulator. I think a solid TE could be available in the 5th round.

    Money on the Brandon Parker deal: 1 year, $1.5m, up to $4m in incentives. Hopefully, he's much improved or is a backup.

    Just saw this on FB not sure if it is real or not but Im running out the door so im sharing:


    BREAKING: The Raiders are TRADING TE Darren Waller to the NY Giants for a 3rd round pick no. 100 overall.
    Wow idk how I feel about this move. Waller is the most athletic and fast TE in the league and he’s a monster when healthy. This move clears $11.38M in cap space. -Jax

    Seems accurate.

    WOW. Waller for the 100th pick?
    Waller's 298-3572-19 TDs is better than every TE drafted since him, except for George Kittle, Mark Andrews, and Evan Engram.

    The past five #100 picks have been:
    Myjai Sanders, DE, career AV of 2.
    Elijah Molden, CB, career AV of 3.
    Tanner Muse, LB/S, career AV of 1.
    Will Grier, QB, career AV of 1.
    Dorian O'Daniel, OLB, career AV of 0.

    It DOES free up money, and the Raiders could draft a TE early or bring back Moreau. Honestly, I love Moreau, but he hasn't meant nearly as much to the Raiders as Waller has.

    True dat. Loss for words. Waller has been injured a lot of late.

    So, knock Waller's 66 off the board. Add TE to strong team needs.

    Will Renfrow be moved next?

    Would not be surprised on Renfrow. Meyers is a slot receiver. If so, bring back Hollins.

    I think Wallers last injury rubbed the team the wrong way. I think the locker room felt he was milking it a bit. I mean he missed a lot of huge games for (I think) hamstring injury. I really wonder if him only being partially available he played 9 games this past season and 11 the year before (he only had two years of 16 games played 2019 and 2020). His numbers just keep going down. The FO doesn't seem to want to lock up big money in guys who can't stay on the field. Waller, talent wise, is a top level TE.... BUT.... he can't stay healthy.

    I don't think that is the same for Hunter. He got a freak hit IMO. I think he is also one of the most underrated top WR in the game. Jimmy g might have a field day with him. He also isn't making much for his upside. Maybe they move him but that would be a shock to me. Waller was a surprise but not a shock when I think about it.

    fans look good in jerseys cheering on the team. Players don't. As I responded to Trodg he (Waller) has just not been durable.

    WRs
    Adams 95
    Meyers 78
    Renfrow 63
    Dorsett 61

    Should probably see the numbers on Dorsett's deal before drawing conclusions about Renfrow.

    Dorsett just got signed. Doesn't mean he'll be on the team methinks.

    Gotta run the numbers to be sure, but I think he’ll be about a 60. Needed upgrade.

    I think it was Stephen A who said that Jimmy G spent two years under Josh Mcd with the Patriots. If he is familiar with the coach and the offense that would explain why they went and got him. Also changes the lateral move "needle" a bit too

    Does anyone think we go after Mack if the Chargers do release him? Im not sure if that is still an option for them though
