hopefully mario is good to go, jihad can play DT.. would be nice if calhoun was just replacing autry
 
Well didn't anticipate the Raiders beefing up their D-Line that much but hopefully it pans out. 4 more picks left.

Jerald Hawkins and Joe Haeg available at LT.

Who the hell knows what Reggie will do.
 
My opinion so far-

Karl Joseph-Outstanding. We got a sideline-to-sideline hammer with coverage skills. The non-contact knee injury isn't particularly concerning, players recover from that injury well consistently. I also don't buy into the idea that we took him too early. When the player you want is on the board when you're up you take him. A player's pre-draft valuation is not an exact science. I think sooner than later we'll be watching Joseph snag INTs and crush ball-carriers and be saying "damn I'm glad we drafted that motherfucker".

Jihad Ward-Ok so we get a "trust me" pick here. I like the guy's measureables, versatility, and that he's described as a high-motor player. What I don't like is drafting on potential. I guess I'll just have to take a deep breath and have some faith in Reggie that after 2 great drafts in a row he's not throwing a gutter-ball on this one.

Shilique Calhoun-High motor, high production, high character...BAM. Honestly it looks like the last 2 picks should be reversed but whatever. It looks like this guy should be a productive situational pass-rusher immediately. Good pick.

So, I say Reggie went 2 for 3 at worst. I'm as skeptical as anyone about Ward but let's try to follow Pliny's advice and not be negative about this.o_O
 
Im only about 20 min in on Calhoun and Ive seen him spike at least 4 people on their heads rofl.
 
Keep an eye on Devontae Booker and Kentrell Brothers today.
 
Haha Haha wtf?! Connor Cook?! Reggie must've feaked out when Carr went down in the Bengals game. Probably realized at that point the position was vulnerable.

OR

A trade is imminent
 
I hope they have something planned. Mcgloin is more than capable as backup. Send Cook to the Jets for Wilkerson or kc for poe.
 
Im going to be awfully pissed if that doesnt turn into a trade.
 
Jerald Hawkins gone to the Steelers:

I agree, especially about Joseph, if your guy is there when it's your pick then you take him. We had a need at that position and the best guy was available, excellent pick.
