If he can free up Streater, Jones, and Crabtree then he's a good pick. But man, Leonard Williams and that Dline is set for the next 10 years tbh. I hope Reggie knows what he's doing tbh.
he was my preference as well, but i'm not disappointed with cooper at all.

Reggie and JDR are both defense-oriented guys. if our top 2 decision makers opted to go with Cooper over Williams, i'll trust their judgment. its not like we got chip kelly who we know is just tryin to stack offense
next 2 picks should be DE and OG, imo
there should be handful of good DE's available in the 2nd... preston smith, owa odighizuwa, eli harold
Texans have traded up to 32
so far we've picked up 3 day-1 starters with our first 3 picks. with 4 picks to go, i'd like to see them draft: OG, S, CB, and another DE
That's Cooper's demeanor. They asked him how he's gna celebrate his first TD and he responded saying he doesn't celebrate
Yeah ok go with that
"Damnit, I should've been an accountant."
He's better than KeenYeah ok go with that
"Damnit, I should've been an accountant."n Allen
raiders releasing james jones. pretty expected. Cooper/Crabtree/Streater/Holmes were all going to be ahead of him on the depth chart anyway. get the younger legs on the field
Allen as a third round pick.He's better than Keen
Also released Miles Burris. thank god, he was one of the worst players in the NFL last season
man, i can't believe the raiduhs are still this bad.. i love tha cooper pick, the guy is great and the best wr in the class, but come on with all the capspace and the draft picks, that's really the only upgrade they made..
well, they wanted Cobb bad, but he turned down some extra money to stay with Rodgers and the pack. Dolphins gave Suh too much. Jags gave Julius Thomas too much. Chiefs gave Maclin too much (plus he probably wanted to reunite with Reid). They gave Terrance Knighton the biggest offer he got, he claimed he got lowballed, then signed a cheap 1 year prove-it deal with the Redskins
I like that they signed Rodney Hudson, one of the best C's in the league and still young. Dan Williams has been an awesome DT for the Cards since he got there. They probably could have gotten more impact though, they signed a bunch of role players like Curtis Lofton, Roy Helu, Malcolm Smith, Crabtree...
Their draft was just fine, they addressed their 4 biggest needs with their first 4 picks: a #1 WR, DE, OG, and TE
For all the moves they could or should have made, the Raiders future hinges on what happens with Derek Carr. Whether he progresses or regresses will dictate the direction of the team. Hopefully a new TE and actually having an NFL caliber receiving lineup will help. I'm not very confident in Musgrave as the OC though.

Carr with unspecified injury that might require surgery? They don't sound too concerned in regards to him missing major time though so there's that.
OTA's in question but he's not expected to miss any of camp at all
Khalil Mack #49 on the NFL Top 100 players on 2015
significantly higher than the other rookie defenders (Donald was 92 and Mosley was 94)

I'll be as honest as I can be.
Cinncy/Baltimore at home...should win one
at Cleve/Chicago...should win one
Better chance of going 1-3 there than 3-1.
Denver...lose
at SD...lose
NYJ...win
at Pitt...lose
Minnesota...win
at Detroit..lose
at Tennessee..win
Kansas City...win
at Denver..lose
Green Bay...lose
SD..win
at Kansas City...lose
So..8-8, I'll give them one they should have lost.
Pretty high praise from Tim Brown. Amari Cooper has all the tools to become an absolute stud in the NFL. If Carr can stay off his back....
Tim Brown: Amari Cooper is going to be dominant Day 1
The prevailing belief surrounding Amari Cooper is that he'll be the best wideout the Oakland Raiders selected since grabbing Tim Brown at No. 6 overall in 1988.
The Hall of Famer has a similar glowing review of the rookie receiver."This guy is just a superb, great receiver and I think he's going to be dominant Day 1," Brown said in a national conference call, via CSN Bay Area. "I saw him at the Heisman deal (Cooper was a finalist for the award) and I told him then that I hope he's still there when theRaiders pick, because there was no way they could bypass him. I just thought that he was that great of a not-miss-type pick. I can't wait to see him Day 1. I think this guy is going to be great."

this is the first time since 2012 (carson palmer) when the raiders are going into camp with their week 1 starter getting all the first team reps...
in 2013 matt flynn was named the starter and got all the reps... then only after the 4th preseason game did they decide to move on and start pryor
in 2014 schaub was the starter, carr was going to sit a year, and again... only after the 4th preseason game did they give the keys to carr
such a ty way to start a season, when guys with virtually no reps with the 1's are suddenly given 1 week to have command over the starting offense. hopefully we see some results
