2016 Raiders Warship Where The Hell Will They End Up Thread

[JohnnyDrama]

Ah, thanks guys. I see cowboys people saying they think Raiders will match. So it's probably just my fellow Cowboys fans ego's thinking he's better than he is, sine he may come to our team lol

3 years for $8.5 mil with $3.3 guaranteed. Something like that is what I read.

I think Reggie matches. Like said before he is a quality rotational player. He had a lot of other stats outside of sacks and tackles.

Looks like the Raiders have declined to make an offer to Tony Jefferson, opting instead to draft talent in this position.

Trade for Kam on the way?

Maybe our SS is already on the team?

One of the more interesting prospects that the Raiders have signed as an undrafted free agent is Northwestern's Jimmy Hall. The reason he is so interesting of a prospect is because his athletic measurables are phenomonal. However, the reason he went undrafted is because he is a tweener that doesn't fit exactly to the mold of either Safety or Linebacker in the NFL.

Jimmy played as a Safety for the first 3 years at Northwestern before switching to OLB for his senior year which resulted in the best year of his college career. He finished the season with 58 tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 5.5 tackles for loss as a senior when he had a total of 44 tackles and 1 interception in the other 3 years combined as a Safety.

Even though he did have his best year as a linebacker, it appears he will be lining up in the secondary for the Raiders if he makes the team. He has the athleticism needed to play the Safety position in the NFL for sure, but he needs to hone his skills more to be productive at the position in the NFL.

Speaking of his athleticism though, it is very impressive and why the Raiders signed him as an undrafted free agent. He ran a 4.44 40 yard dash so he definitely has the speed to play Safety, but he combined that with 24 bench presses too showing the strength of a linebacker. This man can jump too, producing a 39.5 inch vertical and a 10.10" broad jump.

When you look at those stats alone it is pretty surprising that he wasn't able to get drafted. It really does come down to his tweener status between the two different positions though. He doesn't quite fit in either position as of now. He is built more like a Safety at 6'1 228lbs, but he definitely played more comfortably as a linebacker. Unfortunately, NFL eats up smaller linebackers because the players are just so much larger on a day to day basis than the competition in college.

The trick for Jimmy Hall finding success in the NFL is for him to be able to play Safety. The Raiders are giving him his chance to prove that he can. He could end up being a secret weapon because of his ability to play some linebacker in a pinch too but he will need to be able to play in the secondary first and foremost.

What's the deal on Darian Thompson? Seen his name mentioned in some raider draft discussions

Apparently the team really likes him, smart player who seems to be in good position often. His 40 wasnt the best, and he's kind of all over the place as far as draft position (at least from what I've seen). All I know is safety is still the need.

 

[DSOTM]

Apparently he played 3 years at LB and one at safety, or maybe the other way around. Anyway kid sounds like a project type player. Hope Reggie doesn't reach like he did with DJ

Most anyone in the NFL has awesome athletic measurables.

 

[DSOTM]

It will be a high draft pick.

 

[TKing]

Would be nice to have him, he's gonna want high dollars soon though and Mack and Carr are about to get paid. Reggie seems to have the financial stuff down to a science so I'm sure it could work.

 

[PUO3]

This dude and Irvin kill me lol.

 

[DSOTM]

It will be a high draft pick.

interesting. i could see this maybe being a draft day trade. maybe reggie has his eye on a few guys, if they are not there at 14 the reggie pulls the trigger and makes the trade?

im not at all worried about the money. like TK said, reggie has that shit down to a science

An excerpt from a reporter asking why Jerry Jones was high on Benson Mayowa.

Jones: “Is he the next DeMarcus Ware? Probably not.”

Jones: “Is he the next Charles Haley? Probably not.”

A voice then rose up in the distance: “He’s better,” Mark Davis said with a laugh.

“Oh, Mark,” Jones said while laughing.

Davis declined to comment on whether Raiders were going to match the offer sheet.

So who is that is saying Mo maybe might get traded? I'm seeing nothing out there. All I see is bullshit speculation.

Can he be traded under the franchise tag or do the Jets have to have a deal in place? No fucking way is Mo worth two firsts

Was nothing out there about Irvin either.

There are most certainly inquiries on both sides. Reggie wont give up the world for him, he likes his picks.

But, Mo wouldnt be worth 2 DJ Haydens? It depends on how you look at it I suppose. I would give up a mid-first round pick for a player of his caliber though.
