This is a pretty fun listen. No matter what he says you can tell he's under a ton of pressure to get this draft right because he used to be the draft guru . LOLOL. You can tell he's worn out worrying even though he says he's not. That being said i think he'll get it right for the Raiders and in two years they'll be easily 8-8.

We'll be a hell of a lot better this year than last, but unless the draft falls perfectly for us, Q.Williams at #4 and a guy like Ferrell somehow miraculously falls to the Raiders at #24, I'd say 8-8 is the ceiling for 2019. Better than the Donks, but not up to the Chargers or Chiefs.

Your QB is good enough that your tram refuses to move on, but not near good enough to win anything of significance.
Have fun! We lived that one long enough to know how painful it is.
“But maybe if we fix the defense? Or beef up the OL?”
Alex Smith had one season as good as Carr did last year. That was in 2017 with an amazing array of skill players. Carr had jack and squat last year for weapons, but put up just as good of numbers as Smith did in 2017.
I'm not saying Carr is the answer. I'm enough of a realist to know that is probably not going to happen now. He is better than freakin' Alex Smith though. [Reply]

Career Rating of 88 vs 87. Not much of a gap there. [Reply]

When you compare your franchise qb with Alex Smith you know you’re headed for greatness
Especially on a team that has thousands of positions to fill [Reply]
