I didn't know they would shit the bed with the picks. What I did know was the timing was fucking horseshit. Trading away your best player right before the season starts is just a buzzkill for everyone including the players on that team. Basically doomed that season before it started.Myles Garrett is the best defensive player in football- not the best DE- the best defensive player. Like Maxx, he's been on shit teams, and has nothing to show for it. The last two superbowl teams all won b/c they had very deep d-lines. You could argue that Jalen Carter was dominant- but for the most part those two teams had depth, not one dominant player. All this is to say, Maxx is not going to win games by himself. He's a great player- no doubt- but not someone whose performances are going to result in the Raiders winning a bunch more games.
Keep him if the offers are bad. Everyone here justifiably hated the Mack trade- but that's because Gruyock could not draft for shit. If they had drafted the players this whole board wanted instead, we'd be looking back saying that was a good trade. No player outside of a top QB is irreplaceable.
IDGAF if we trade Maxx as long as it's before FA/Draft so we can put together the squad we are going to war with.
