    Makes sense they would keep him. He fits next to Bosa. I personally love the guys upside but have always felt he takes way too many plays off. I would love for us to get another great edge rusher.

    Damn. Darius Slay released. He'd be expensive and a massive upgrade.

    IN Roderick Teamer DB (53)

    Some depth for the secondary. Still could use a top flight CB.

    Raiders re-sign Jerry Tillery. Solid depth piece at worst.

    Not an especially inspiring defensive front at this point.

    DI Tillery 57
    DE Crosby 95

    Andrew Van Ginkel is visiting with the Raiders. He has allowed a very high pass completion % (83%!), but that has amounted to no TDs and 375 yards. He also had 5.5 sacks in 2020, 12 hurries and 4 sacks in 2021. He'll be 28 and saw his snaps reduced last season. 334 snaps. 75 PFF. He'd bring a 64 rating, better than LV's other LBs.

    Eluemunor posted on Twitter that he and Kolton will be the best Tackle duo in the AFC West and the League this year. I guess that means he's coming back to LV?

    To put the importance of that move into some perspective, at present, the OL average is about 71. With Eluemunor, they'd be at 79. A huge upgrade.

    T Miller 92
    T Eluemunor 84

    The Raiders could still use some depth on the OL, but I think they've shored it up well. Young guys with room to grow sandwiched between vets in Miller, James, and Eluemunor.

    I don't get the LS signing since we have synergy with our three including Cole and Carlson.

    I am finding the Jimmy G chatter from fans really amusing. The dude has a 700 winning percentage. The dude wins. He is a gammer. I've also heard a lot about Carr and McD butting heads and carr going off script. If that is true then the Josh D hate is def excessive. We blew so many games with poor execution on offense (Imo). Im really excited to see what a QB who doesn't get happy feet can do with this offense. Having attended a few games these last years I can't explain how many blown plays I saw from DC.

    I can't wait to see what this offense will look like

    I read that Steig led all LS in penalties last season with 4. I don't know. I agree. You don't mess with the connection we have on special teams.

    Some positional news:

    TE: It doesn't seem like there's a huge market for Moreau. We hosted OJ Howard, who's more a blocker than Moreau and less a receiver. Howard would be the best TE on roster, but he's not as good as Moreau. He is, however, an athlete with good speed/size combo.

    WR: Mack Hollins got 2.5m. I'd rather have seen us give him that money than give 1.2m to Dorsett, but we'll see.

    QB: Gabbert visits. He makes sense as a backup.

    Yeah. These two moves don't feel good.

    Mack was one of my favorite players on this team. I'm sad to see him go but I think with all the WR we have he may not of gotten a lot of burn. I think Atlanta got a huge pickup. I think he is gonna kill it if they give him a starting WR spot.

    You know some of the moves are interesting in the vein of "why?" but in the end it really looks like they have vision they are trying to put together. So far to me nothing seems like its just "dumb" they all seem, at least on some point, made with logic.

    QB Garropolo 74
    -solid starter

    FB Johnson 57
    RB Jacobs 90
    -elite duo

    WR Adams 95
    WR Renfrow 63
    WR Meyers 78
    -one of the best three-man WR corps in the league; right?

    TE
    TE Horsted 36
    -we need help!

    C James 78
    LG Parham 79
    RG Munford 61
    LT Miller 92
    RT Elueumunor 84
    -This is not a bad group. Four of the players here are quality starters, and I expect Parham and Munford to be improved. There's also some depth behind them.

    DI Nichols 69
    DI Tillery 57
    -We could use a big run stuffer.

    DE Crosby 95
    DE Jones 74
    -We could use another outside rusher, but I expect Jones to bounce back.

    ILB Spillane 63
    OLB Deablo 61
    OLB Masterson 42
    -This is our biggest need, but I like Spillane.

    CB Robertson 71
    CB Hobbs 69
    FS Moehrig 70
    SS Epps 75
    -Four okay DBs, Facyson, Teamer, and Hall are all there as backups, too.


    LV has the 4th highest draft capital for the 2023 draft. I expect them to add two immediate starters (probably TE and LB) and another 3-5 guys who contribute big time this season. Moe Morton is suggesting the Raiders are eyeing Hendon Hooker as their future QB. This is a team that is positioned with financial flexibility and only two obvious weaknesses - TE and LB.
