Carr is solid and cooper is going to be real good IMO. I like Murray as well. How does the O line look?
The OL should be top half of the League or close, signing Hudson who was the #3 C per PFF last year at Center was a huge need and that's been one of the main guys opening holes for Jamaal Charles last few years. Straight swapping from 26th ranked Center to the 3rd and at an anchor position that is Center is a very big upgrade.
Gabe Jackson the 3rd round pick from Miss State that started every game he was healthy in last year is really really good too, someone Tice has said he thinks is a rising star on the OL. Penn is back and was the best OL they had last year. The starting unit should be pretty solid, Murray will have some holes to run through.
Main thing is depth, the starting positions are getting there to compete with anyone, but the depth is still another year or two away at almost every position.

Quite well, starting to stockpile a lot of young talent from having excellent drafts, hoping for 8-8 this year but will take 7-9.
First time in a decade there's been so much excitement around the Raiders and the future. Watching ESPN or Fox Sports and it's a complete 180 from just a few years ago. Finally getting there.
So pumped to see what Amari will do for us this year.

Like somebody else said, if del rio will stick to defense, you guys should be decent this year.

Yeah, Mack is going to be just ridiculous with Del Rio.

bought the same as their last few HCs

If he can win in Jacksonville he can win in Oakland.
The front office has been Oakland's biggest problem with all the head coaches they've run through.

Little better situation he had in Jacksonville. Coughlin left him something to work with and the organization wasn't horrible like it is now.

Still think they f'ed it up not taking Leonard Williams. He and Mack next to each other could be what Watt/Clowney were supposed to be. They would have been the sickest young DL in the game by a country mile. I don't ever expect Cooper to be a truly dominating presence in the NFL.
Outside of that, though, I've loved their last 2 drafts. They've killed it. Excited to see how they develop!

How is the Raiders front office now since the crypt keeper died? I mean they were the clippers of the NFL for a short period of time with no end in sight until the crypt keeper died. Have things changed? If not, Del Rio will be fired in 2-3 seasons.

You know Mack is a LBer right?

They didn't give Suh $27598932727 Million guaranteed so that was encouraging.

They had a good draft but Reggie Mckenzie is still a joke

But this year he is going to play with hands on the ground rushing from the outside. Not really a true LB'er.

They tried to add to the line by drafting Mario Edwards in the second round this year. But his pass rushing skills leave ALOT to be desired so I have no idea how he will turn out. Also, RM's first draft pick as Raiders GM was DJ Hayden, who is fast on his way to being a bust. That hurts.

Eh, call him what you want. Terrell Suggs, Von Miller, etc are all rush ends. If you want to call that a LB or a DE, whatever.
Would it be better if I said they'd have the best young pass rushing duo in the league? I think most understood what I was saying.

I thought they switched to a 4-3 put Mack at End opposite of Tuck and added two guys that are 665 combined in middle. What will probably be the demise is the Corners. They have Woodson and Allen at Safeties.

spot on. This will by far be the biggest weakness of the Raiders this year. They have no depth at the position and the starters themselves are a pretty weak group.

I think he does better than the last 3 coaches.
