    Coincidentally, I ran into a guy today that is involved in the local Raiders Booster Club, I live north of Dallas for context, and he said just in our area there are 4k fans and that he and several others have started getting ready for season tickets in SA, which is 5 hours away. Again, I think the Raiders belong in Oakland, but if they land in Texas, they will quickly find support. Their team culture fits better within Texas culture than it does in LA culture.

    ...I have no doubt they would but San Antonio Raiders just sounds weird.

    CB Amerson PFF Most Improved... He maintains solid play and take it further, one corner position is locked. Hayden goes to slot and Carrie to safety. Draft another one for the other side and another for depth.

    I'll aggregate the mocks this weekend. Not opposed to an OT.

    I haven't heard that. Not sure why they'd want to with that old stadium. Warriors are leaving and I'd imagine the As want to soon.

    Oakland I'm preeeeeeetty sure ends up in San Diego.

    Second option is San Antonio.

    I'm hearing that they REALLY don't want to play in the new Niners arena though. So much so that they'd rather play in Qualcom (with renovations of course) than stay where they are or play with the Niners. The same Qualcom that the Chargers are desperately fleeing.

    So don't want them anywhere but Oakland, LA, and SA, in that order.

    Unless you meant this upcoming season because there's a good shot they play one more season in Oakland, especially if the Chargers keep dragging their feet to LA.

    ...the Silver and Black in San Diego. Seau is rolling in his grave.

    - draft notes...Jaylon Smith dropping to 14th?
    - Arian Foster? To be cut by Houston...potential Raider backup RB?
    - Eric Weddle...done in San Diego. Last seen wearing a Laker hat.
    - "dark horse" DB pick...Jack Ramsey FSU. 6-1, 205. Physical specimen.

    I mean end game. I have no problems rooting for the Raiders in Oakland or Los Angeles. I can handle San Antonio. But San Diego?!?

    The Raiders met with Vanderbilt safety Andrew Williamson and Purdue cornerback Anthony Brown. Two players that should be available to the Raiders in the mid to late rounds of this year’s draft.

    - Carr replaces Rodgers for Pro Bowl.
    - Cooper and Edwards on NFL All-Rookie Team.
    - not keen on Lynch joining The Silver and Black... Forte would be a different story.

    ...Amari Cooper replaces Brandon Marshall. Yet another reason I just might watch the Pro Bowl this season.
