No idea who this is and I hope we don’t move Branch from the position where he was successful.

Improved every year, at least.

I really liked him coming out, was a serious playmaker. He fell due to his size and average testing, but as he’s shown in Vegas he’s athletic enough

I just said it’s not a pressing need. I didn’t say it’s off the board. We have little in terms of long term solutions. We have 5 capable starters now.

Definitely not a pressing need, but I think if the right guy is sitting there to develop into a lockdown #1, you probably still take him.

People need to change their view on FAs. Not everyone is going to be signed to be a starter. Some guys will be signed because they can start. But everyone still has to compete. Just like Branch and Ceedy Deuce competed at NB. We ended up moving Deuce to S because he was better at it than Walker and Iffy.

I’ll honesty take these guys over last year’s guys. Davis and Robertson can start. Davis likely will. If Branch is moved to S, I’d rather have Robertson than Will Harris.

This is my main thing. With Iffy coming on and looking like a stud, I don’t see a need to move Branch. Keep him where he’s shown he’s already one of the best in the business.

Agree 100%. This team has only two needs honestly in IOL and DL. We are truly free to take BPA and it being the absolute right decision no matter what.

Robertson was a ball hawk in college. I admit I lost track of him post draft…but those skills don’t just go away.

I never thought I’d be stoked about signing a guy I’ve never heard of, but man, this looks like it helps the CB room a whole lot.

Raiders fans said high high’s, low low’s with him

can make a game sealing play, or cost you a TD, so inherit risk with his playstyle, but hes loved by the fans in Raider Nation

also his nickname is tiny loc btw lol

And we still need to draft a starting outside CB. Davis is on his final year. Sutton is on year 2 of 3. We still need long term depth and starters there.

:man_facepalming:t2: I didn’t say otherwise bro…all I said was it wasn’t a pressing need anymore.

I still want to see CB/DL/OL with our first 3 picks.

Man this board can drive ya nuts :joy:

He’s good but short. One of those guys that is actually pretty good outside despite being tiny.

I thing Will fills that CB5 role. He can still play both and on special teams.

Jerry Jones replacement I guess this guy. Don’t remember him never heard of him.

His PFF scores are shit…but I guess he got better last couple years that’s good.

I wanted Witherspoon…but Brad stays true to his age signings.

This kid only 25 years old.

I mean, it’s possible! I wouldn’t hate it considering he knows nothing. But I also wouldn’t mind if that #5 spot were a future CB1 taken in the first 3 rounds, either!

CB- Sutton , Davis
NB- Branch

Backups outside- Robertson, Vildor?, Dorsey?, Gilmore
Backup NB - Will Harris
PUP - Moseley

Not bad going into the draft. Still hope we draft one

The average PFF score is 60. He is (albeit slightly) above average in both years he played significant time. I don’t know what else you want out of a guy for $4-5 a year. Will Harris’ 45 PFF grade?
