    He shows the clear and present Raiders bias out there. He is going to be a beast next year. That is a good thing for us.

    J.J. McCarthy? Spencer Rattler?

    I don't watch the college game but I do a few youtube guys that have talked highly about both. But the rumbling is that AP wants Jayden. Im realy curious who we get. And, im going to say that fans shouldn't be surprised if AOC pushes his way to #1.

    Yes, AOC has been doubted since he started as a walk on at Purdue so this is nothing new. I like Rattler as a prospect.

    Jimmy G gets suspended for 2 games for "PEDs" which looks like it saves the Raiders 11 million going into the draft and off season. Nice job Jimmy

    This must have been some recovery agent to help him with his ankle/foot injury, which I'm convinced was never healed.

    THe way it was listed made it seem it was more likely Viagra. That would explain the 2 games only. Any true PEDs is half a season suspension I believe. I could be wrong on that though. I'd be surprised if it was a true PED.

    Pierce now talking of instituting a "Mahomes' Rule" akin to the "Jordan Rules" with the Pistons. Refs probably now on high alert. Seriously needs to tamp it down and JUST play. Tough guy stance and chanting can only go so far.

    I hear a lot of people saying that he need to stop yet I don't agree. The dude isn't rah rah'ing the world. His message has been the same from day 1. I think fans don't understand that AP is the big news right now because he is "different" and he epitomizes what the Raiders mystique has always been.

    So heres the thing, imo anyway, AP is going to be interviewed and he is going to be asked about the big elephant in our room which is and has been for a long time KC. Some hack reporter made a bigger deal of what he said but he is right. We have to put helmets on Patrick. He is the head of the snake. He said that is what we are going to do before "patrick turns into a magician." He is right 100%.

    My question is, what do we want him to do? This is the off season and news is slow. I think these guys are putting in the work to build the coaching staff and have our boys prepared. These guys aren't silent, they aren't meek and they aren't afraid to, as both he and Maxx says, "talk our s***."

    THey just got to back it up when they get on the grass. I'm good with that personally.

    Agree that they are more than likely gearing up. I'm with hitting Mahomes as much as legally possible because he tends to cry and whine as it takes its toll. As long as they back up the talk, I'm good with it too.

    Looks like the watchdog cry-babys of the NFL are making a big deal out of Pierce's comments. Looking back at it he just wants the crew to play physical but not to intentionally hurt Kermit. The ****, this ain't flag football! Puppets like Florio and Greenberg are already close to anointing our coach as the next Anti-Christ?

    I honestly don't think the NFL is going to do anything they weren't already going to do. We know Pat is protected. KC didn't have a single holding call for 7 quarters in the playoffs. The chiefs who hold every play didn't get one call for holding? That says a lot.

    As far as APs comments that wouldn't change how the refs call against us. History has shown it. Those two pieces of crap prob got mad at Maxx for getting all the publicity for punking them when he came on.

    For me, TBH, I want AP to lean into his comments. Continue to put the league on notice that we coming and we going to play Raiders football. No one wants to see these boys continue building on what they did last year.

    No Trades Mock Draft
    Rome Odunze is top on the board, but I'm not drafting a WR first. Johnny Newton DT and JC Latham OT are there, too. I think we grab Latham.

    At 44, Leonard Taylor and Kingsley Suamataia are top of the board. Michael Penix Jr. is there at 43. Decision time. I'm taking Penix.

    At 77, Calen Bullock and Cole Bishop are there, two safeties with Bucky Irving (RB) in between them. But I'll grab Max Melton, CB, Rutgers.

    At 147, Audric Estime is somehow on the board. I can't help myself. I'm taking him.

    At x, we're moving into players I don't know so well. Theo Johnson, TE, sits atop the board of availables. It's either him, Curtis Jacobs (LB), or Matt Goncalves (OT). I'll take Goncalves and load up on the O-line.

    At 210, We'll take Nehemiah Pritchett (CB).

    At 221, we'll take AJ Barner, TE. He was top of the board, and a TE couldn't hurt.

    At 227, we're back on the clock. I'd love another defender. Jalyx Hunt is there. So, we'll take him.

    We end up with:
    JC Latham OT - immediate possible starter across from Miller.
    Michael Penix JR QB - eventual average starter; can push AOC and/or be a stash (he's a little younger).
    Max Melton CB - eventual average starter (depth and can push for PT)
    Audric Estime RB - backup who can develop into starter (I think he's basically as good as Kyren Williams, and I think he's a steal)
    Matt Goncalves OT - good backup who can develop into starter (good depth), can push for PT or possibly slot in at guard, too.
    Nehemiah Pritchett CB - good backup who can develop into starter (depth), can push for PT.
    AJ Barner TE - good backup who can develop into starter (depth), important if Hooper isn't returning.
    Jalyx Hunt Edge - average backup or special teamer (a project)
