Why are we over looking Zues!!! He is a stud.
It’s Zeus but spot on comment!!!
RB by committee/situation, injury insurance. Zeus won't be a 'feature back' with 30-35 carries. AB and Telesco interested in Raiders a threat in vertical game vs. running game; that's why all the hub-bub about a 10-year QB from the draft.
Zeus was the main factor in the decision not to sign Jacobs. Raiders running game was at its best in 2023 when Zamir White was the lead back. The speed/power element with Zeus really complemented a WR group that doesn't have a ton of breakaway speed.
@@teklemenelik6118 That was pre-completely overhauled coaching staff.
Saying Jacobs is only 5% better is insane. That was Jacobs worst season of his career, missed the last 4 games of the season, and still has slightly better numbers. Jacobs upside is leading rusher and workhorse back, while Mattisons is backup at best. That being said, there was no way the Raiders should have paid him that much to keep him, but I'm glad he got the money he deserves.
If not a QB at #13, Fuaga (Oregon St.). I personally would take Fuaga @ #13 and get a QB in 2nd round.
This is what I’ve been saying. Fuaga would be perfect before Penix in the 2nd if that’s the QB they are going for.
@@almo5086 if you’ve been listening to anything, it doesn’t sound like Penix will be there in the second round
Penix wont make it to rd 2. Plenty of OT in this draft.
Yep.. and I want Ray Davis in the later rounds.. dude is a sleeper pock for sure
We need a guard more than we need a tackle and mattison isn't good.
Thanks for having data on this and not blowing smoke up are you know what. I appreciate your knowledge and your take on the Raider moves.
They are cherry picking though by comparing Mattisons best yr vs Jacobs worst year.
Right tackle or corner.
Fuaga, Olu, or Latham for RT. Terrion or Quinyon for CB. Trade back into the end of the first rd for Penix
I would like for the Raiders to draft at pick 13 a Right Tackle, no question about it!
I agree with that one move,it would be interesting to see a comparison with all the moves made so far.
What’s not in this calculation is heart. The kind that helps move an NFL team into the right direction since John Madden. The kind of hart that could’ve gotten us deep into the playoffs next year -but now probably won’t! They always conveniently leave that shit out when it comes to paying up. Look, I’m actually okay with him gone, but don’t act like it ain’t no loss. This dude was Raider and that actually means something.
Josh had no heart,or vision to hit a hole. Addition by subtraction.
Don't forget he held out for a grip if money and didnt come ready to play!
LOVE THE CONTENT!!! WIN LOSE OR TIE, RAIDER NATION TIL I DIE!!!
Cornerback would be nice, there are a few really good ones or right tackle. I think the board could fall nicely if there is a bug QB run the first several picks
great analysis! Spot on I 10000% agree
SMART MOVE ALL ROUND BY THE NEW REGIME JUST WAIT UNTIL THE DRAFT FIRE WORKS BABY
I like QB Jordan Travis. He was undefeated at Florida State when he was injured. He was neck and neck with Jayden Daniels for the Heisman and FSU had defeated LSU.
Because I still want an experienced starting CB in Free Agency before the Draft, I would go OT at pick 13 if it’s not a QB. Fuaga if he is there.
I think it was a great pick up as well. Being that we lost Jacob's..
Could be paying him and Carr....... thank God that's not happening
1. Cornerback 2. QB 3. OL/DL 4. DL/OL
Excellent, unique and interesting perspective on the RB changes
Thank you for explaining in this graphic and tangible way, because the fan base does not understand these types of decisions, they act with their heart and not with reason! Thank you for taking the time for this analysis and showing it.
Telesco had 10 years as Bolts GM and has proven he Drafts successfully. I say let him do his thing & AP has shown he's good about letting Professionals to do their duties and Team W1NS together! That's the Recipe moving Forward!
Yeah, I agree with what the other guy was saying. You guys are comparing last season. Josh Jacobs was not overwhelming for RaiderNation, but the year before that, like you can't even compare. Josh Jacobs in his entirety compared to Madison.
Great segment guy's 👏
Right Tackle 😊
What up Drew and Nick!💪🏾🏴☠️🏈
a stud RT. or a CB
Yeah.. I really don't feel that bad about Minshew being the starter if need be. I think he'd be even better on our team
Wow, this is really well put. I hadn't actually thought about JJ from that perspective. I still don't like losing him because above the tangibles and the math, he has a 'Raider' mentality. But the move makes more sense thinking about it this way.
Held out Missed half a season when needed Gb gave him a one year contract WE DODGED A FREAKING BULLET!
Chemistry my friends, chemistry counts. That Snider dude from Washington put together an all pro team together many years back, on paper it was genius. In reality egos and selfish play killed that dream. Its chemistry that makes the team.
Cornerback with the first. Either Alabama corner will be excellent
Line may have been better when looking at stats.
Nick and Andrew great points. HB position is position that's very replacable.
I would trade back BUT if we are picking in the first round (or the top 2/3rd of the first round) Id go ahead and trade up to the Cards, nab Joe Alt to deny Harbaugh a foundation piece that we too really need.
Raiders need a RG & RT and should be able to get a top-3 OT with their first round pick at #13.
Mattison runs like Lynch
Great vid. Love the Telesco AP Era. The JJ graphics were awesome. Give me OL in rd 1
Move up and get Jayden if not get Fuaga and keep the ball rolling
CB or RT, but that's everyone's pick if not QB.
Right tackle or corner
GET A RT!! LFG!!
You always have to let a big name go in the beginning. It’s capping, drafting and retaining after that.
Offensive line and CB
Excluding QB - RT or CB. RNUK🇬🇧
Absolutely O-line. If the favored o-lineman isn't available at 13, then CB.
Go big! O line or Dline. Both needed
What’s really needed now on the Dline? We have studs at edge and just picked up Wilkins. Pretty good depth at D line now.
The best RT AVAILABLE
I'd love to draft Fuaga if he's there and he may not be there. Fuaga is perfect and then if Penix is still on the board at 18-32 we should trade our 2 and next years 1st and snag him.
NEEDS: RT (Fuaga) and CB (Mitchell) first...WANTS: QB, LB, WR, RB in later rounds.
Fuega - Oregon st. With 13th pick maybe trade your second and next years second to trade down into late first round to grab Michael Penix
They may have to trade next years first especially if it's in the teens still and I think it will be.
Draft Terrion Arnold CB from Alabama in the first round pls 🙏🏽🔥
Pierce wants to run the football
Instead of trading 3 #1' picks to move up for a rookie.. Trade 24,25,26,and 27 first round picks to buffalo for Josh Allen. Need him to compete with the murderers row of QB's in the division.
OPPOSITION DEFENSES WON'T KNOW WHO TO COVER
Right Guard, they can get a cornerback in free agency
JJ was hurt!
CB if we can't get X. If we do, go OT
Raiders need a right tackle
Yes and a guard who can play tackle swing tackle is importent especially id Munford starts at guard which I think he will.
OL,CB,LB IT wouldn't floor me if they traded back , just a little bit 5 picks or so and get a extra 2nd and like a extra 6 and still fill their needs.
Intangibles can't be analysed. Ask around - Jacobs was the offensive leader as Maxx is the defensive leader. Good business but we will miss him.
Nice take. Moneyball. And I don't think the Raiders can pull it off for JD. On your next video, please preview the QBs for next year's draft.
Mpj#9
O-Line
-Take OT Fuaga #13 -Trade 2025 1st and 3rd round picks and this year's 3rd for: pick #14 and take CB Terrion Arnold @ #14 -trade pick #44 + 7th round pick for pick #42 and take QB Micheal Penix . ....recap #13 OT Taliese Fuaga #14 CB Terrion Arnold #42 QB Micheal Penix Tell me that's not an awesome draft and we'd still have our 4th 5th 6th 7th left.
It's an awesome draft but never happening at those prices we'd need to give up next years 1st at the least in addition to Penix being there at 42 which is highly unlikely. If we could pull that off it would be as good a draft as the year we got Mack and Carr. Even if we have to give up future picks i'd be on board. We need another OL one who could play guard and tackle and a veteran CB which is possible and we would be a damn good team that no one would want to play.
Makes sense but miss jj
Jacobs didn't play much of last season and wasn't running hard the first few games. So, are these lady years' numbers or career numbers?
O Line
I agree! Josh might be kinda washed too! No guarantee he will bounce back! I say RT!
Zeus is still cheap. I would go best player on the board/slash area of need. I am good with offensive lineman or cornerback.
BPA, but specifically RT or CB. It looks like RT might have the better player available at 13. Wouldn't mind trading back either. On Tellesco... remember, he put the chargers in the cap hell they are facing now. I hope I'm wrong, but i hope he's learned from his mistakes.
He had nothing to do with their cap they had a cap specialist who handled that. I think he was a family friend or something to do with the owner.
@jameshannagan4256 I hope you're right. Those charger teams always had a ton of talent, but thru injury or poor coaching, they never could make the most of it.
Rt or cb
Corner oline 100% or oline period
You hate to ket jacobs go but definitely a smart move money wise...plus we have white... also lets save out money and develope our quarteback already invested a year in him and hes not as bad as everyone says..i mean look at the scenario for this kid from college to the pros, i thinknhe can be great if we surround him with a good ol.. of not leta get an alpha dog corner or dtackle
😊😊😊
DB linebacker
Just gotta add that yall are comparing Mattisons best year vs Jacobs worst year. Keeping it real you should say the Raiders are saving 50% value by swapping the two. The logic is flawed at best.
Actually their not it was last year season for both
@@darrellmattison8572 😂 well that’s a priceless reply. yes you’re correct and last year was Madison’s best year and Jacobs worst year. Follow the bouncing ball, please.
The knock on Mattison is his fumbling issues. I understand those who are wary of him because of it. I would recommend looking back at Tiki Barber and his fumbling issues. His coach made him carry a football wherever he went in the facility and all his teammates would try to knock it out of his hands throughout the day. He became one of the most successful RBs at protecting the ball. Mattison can be 'taught' to NOT fumble.
He has fumbled 5 times in 5 years obviously people don't check stats
OL
Jayden needs to go drinking and do something minor to make his draft stock fall so we can get him at 9 or something nothing major not ruggs or anything just something minor
And you really don't know how this guy will work out.. her could have a great year but again, the Raiders this year seem to be Running back by committee... It's just the QB situation... Will AOC being pocket passer, and I'm sorry I follow the NFL, but not the other QB, who seems to be a little more mobile... But training camp will tell who the starter will be.
Jt
Ot or ol
RAIDERS SHOULD TRADE 2024 NFL 3RD ROUND DRAFT PICK TO NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FOR QUATERBACK DEREK CARR BACK!!!
Maddison didn’t have a rushing TD last season bad pick up (prove me wrong)
Keep same energy when season comes
You guys kill me we should have resigned JJ. We have not had a running back with a style since Marcus Allen & Bo Jackson. F the stats and the numbers. The only number you should look at is what you do in the clutch, Charlie Garner didn't have great numbers but he was good in the clutch. We need to go back to our roots. The running back position is being disrespected plain and simple. Now if so called GM of ours wants to go with a running back by committee then draft the running back from North Dame then we have our Larry Csonka Mercury Morris and Jim Kick.
Idk man, zamir looked good and has a similar run style to jacobs.
White runs nothing like Jacob’s, JJ has good vision and can either run through designed gaps or has the ability to run w/ an impromptu style. White is a 7yd behind the LOS one move stick and go no frills or thrills (nothing wrong w/ that he should thrive in the ZBS…
@@armandalbert2419, I said similar. Granted I do like jj but you can’t sleep on white cuz he runs through or gets as many yards as he can before being downed. “Similar to jj” or there were a few runs were he found holes and gained 20 or more “similar to jj. With being a work horse and getting reps like jj, I believe our rb room is fine after jj signed somewhere else.
CB ,
We’re trading up for Jayden Daniels
So basically everyone is saying we’re ok with AOC OR MINSHEW
AOC FOR QB!!!
Lmao! You can’t compare Josh Jacob’s with Madison stat wise, when he was injured last season! The actual smart move would’ve been to sign Wilson instead of Minshew for 1.2 mil that Pittsburgh got him for, saved 25 million on Minshew n kept a sure fire running back! N still drafted a qb to learn under Wilson!
Bro your delusional is you think this guy is better than JJ in any way, no way no how, your heading at straws. Also remember your comparing an injured RB to a fully healthy one and the healthy one only performed 5% better that's terrible.
You guys are ridiculous u can't base anything on last season under trash McDummys system you guys are simple as hell! The only thing that make sense that you're saying is the money! This dude is nowhere in the Stratosphere of Jacob's and he isn't even better than Zeus who us going to be starting lol
We are not taking a O-lineman for our 1st round draft pick guys, come on. Historically for any team in the NFL O-lineman have been busts if not just average at best. Our need is (1) QB (2) CB (3) O-lineman. And what does this draft provide, heavy in QB’s and CB’s so common sense says we go QB or CB. Next….since the top 5 QB’s coming out will be gone before our 13th position, we will grab a CB. Or we take either Phenix? or Nix for our 1st round at 13th. Don’t sleep on Nix as he is a 1st round QB no doubt. Or he slips to the early 2nd round in which we grab him there with our 44th position which is SO realistic. We should pass on Phenix? as he is just garbage and cannot throw unless the pocket is perfect. If that guy has to move even a little bit for a throw he chokes (check out all the teams scouting him saying the same thing). We pick Alabama’s CB for our 1st round and Nix at QB in the early 2nd round.
