Like I posted yesterday in this thread lol....

didnt see

Not necessarily. But Manziel thrives on making plays that can only be made in a college atmosphere. I would shy away from "dual threats", but anyone who relies on extending plays at the college level and winning with athleticism over raw passing ability is a shaky gamble. We've seen this go south before. We've seen limited success recently, true, but the jury is still out on how these teams will develop as the future continues. RG3 got wrecked. Russel Wilson has done well but he's not the reason the Seahawks are winning. Same with Kaep. Newton has been very successful. Vince Young wasn't at all.

I'm not sold on any of the QBs this year. It's not just Manziel. But I think of the top 3 he is the least-safe bet.

RG3 was successful but got hurt because he doesn't know when to slide or run out of bounds. Manziel does know how to do that.

I think it depends entirely on the QB's commitment to winning and improving and getting better, and all the things I've seen about Manziel seem to imply that. I have 100% faith that if we build a strong team via the remainder of free agency, like we've already begun to do, drafting Manziel will be the best thing for this organization. Manziel is the only player in this draft that has the potential to get the Raiders to 10 wins next year.

We reportedly just signed LT Donald Penn

Looks like we got our LT in Donald Penn

edit: this guy beat me to it ^^ supposedly lets see if this guy can pass a fuckin physical now zz..also his play has been going downhill but well see what happens. We have a huge need at that position so hopefully he can play decent and it will be worth it.

Another great pick up. I really wonder which direction we'll be going in with pick #5.

It looks as if we're not taking an OT, nor a DE, so Matthews/Robinson/Clowney are probably off the table.


It could be a situation where we're trying to build a team and then draft a QB.

yea, i know hes never won ''the big one'' but hes had a decent career stat wise. I looked it up the other day and it was something like 25,000 yards with 130 TD's and 80 INT. Besides last year hes always had a lot more TD's than picks. Last year was just a bad year for the whole organization, some people had them as their SB pick. I would not mind him being our starter. Maybe he just needs a new team and a fresh start to re-amp his career, or he might just keep going down the shitter, only time will tell lol. Then again Mcgloin showed some pretty good flashes of skill last year and think he should deserve some more playing time, and there is even a lot of people who say Pryor deserves more time and really believe in the guy, we will see wont we. we just supposedly signed our new LT so lets see what happens with this one.
