April 28th will be here soon enough... I don't know if a Carrie-Allen safeties tandem will work out but it would help to draft some potential replacements.
If we can snag him, it can't be in the first round. Second tops...third at the lowest if Cravens lasts that long. Would love to be a fly on the wall during the draft in the Raider war room.
We're really positioned to draft best available. I know we need a DB or two, but if a guy like Elliott is available, we should snag him.
A big "if" at this point. Scanning the Raider sites, it seems all the visits and interviews are with defensive players at this point, specifically linemen and linebackers. Good with it...in McKenzie I trust. Loved Al [pre-senility] but he has been a godsend.
- Heeney fine after cash crash. - Andre DeBose reported to be recovered nicely from the Achilles injury. Good as it takes away Carrie from doing returns.
Meeting but no workouts... Some mocks has us selecting Conklin. Either he'd be the second coming of Veldheer. Or Gallery.
I like Rivera. Made some timely plays. He's nowhere near as good as Walford, but this season is his final on his rookie contract. Might be time to move him.
McKenzie doing work... Try to get another draft pick for him. Your South Bend homies were featured on tonight's NFL TV's Path To The Draft... The one that stood out to me was Sheldon Day. He looks legit. Can never get enough linemen on both sides of the ball. Nick Martin? Projected to be a durable ten year player...can play both guard positions. If Elliott does not fall in our laps... The Tide's Henry if he were available?
...must watch Silver & Black TV on NFL TV Monday 4/4, AFC West focus with a Jack Del Rio interview. Just watched NFL TV Top 10 Devastating Losses in NFL History... #8 The Tuck Rule Game... Funny line: Raider fans changed one letter in that sentence LOL! It's OK 'cos Patriots loss to NY Giants for 18-1 was tops. Suck that New England. Long live David Tyree!
Raiders didn't wanna wait, signed Aldon Smith Reggie Nelson is also to meet with the team today That Reggie McKenzie is a busy man
Yes he is... Yes he is... Nelson could be a good pick-up if he signs on. Long in the tooth at 33 but we can draft an heir apparent come April 28.
yea, he's on the wrong side of 30 but he's still a solid safety...IIRC, he had 8 picks last season...he and Donte Whitner (younger) are still available
