It's really not too early to find the next major draft whiff in a long line of colossal whiffs.
 
9-8 next year

“Yeah, Raiders improved by one game” High fives all around. Getting better at getting better.

“Will Raiders move up for a QB?”

Same story next year

They're not going to be facing Mac Jones, Tommy DeVito, Zach Wilson, Josh Dobbs, Jarrett Stidham and a team coached by Branden Staley next year.

Last year was like the 2021 home stretch with a whole bunch of shitty backup QBs in the final 10 games. And they only managed 5 wins.

They couldn't even beat Josh Dobbs or Tyson Bagley last year.

Gonna be a fucking shit show.

Mark had to have a GM with experience to work things, how did it work out?

If they Bugel it up next year, I wouldn't be shocked if it's one and done and Mark goes with supposedly what he wanted in Dodds and lets Dodds hire whomever.

Wasn't the biggest concern this board had with Champ Kelly that he might just sit back and couldn't figure out how to wheel and deal?

So the veteran GM comes in and sits and waits while the rest of the league maneuvers around him, leaving him with nothing but shit.

I think that was Mark's concern.

It's almost like personality and experience have nothing to do with each other.

Yep

Telesco and Pierce now want to make games phone booth fights. Keep it close with tough defense and try to pull it out in the 4th with a run game and play action.

Yet if this team is down by double digits late in games, all I have to say is “good luck with that”
 
Here are the 2025 Quarterbacks. Beck might be the real deal...

But don't worry about the quarterbacks next year. Raiders will be mid-1st round and pick a RB as BPA. :eek:

Carson Beck, Georgia​

With a 6-foot-4 frame, an outstanding arm, and a national stage to showcase his talent, Beck can and likely will find himself in the conversation to be the first quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. It’s no doubt that influenced his thinking in opting to delay entry into the NFL this year and return to Georgia. Beck has great poise in the pocket and excellent ball placement. He can drive balls into spots and doesn’t really get pressured into mistakes. The growth spots in his game largely stem from a lack of reps — just 1 season as a full-time starter. If he’s leading Georgia to a national championship in 2024, you can bet he’ll be 1 of the top quarterbacks on draft boards. Whether he’s the No. 1 overall pick depends more on who is drafting in the spot. More than a quarter of the league has spent a top-12 pick on a quarterback in just the last 2 drafts.

Quinn Ewers, Texas​

For a number of draft analysts, Ewers is the top guy on the board. Consistency is a concern, but the ceiling is really high. He looks great on layered throws and has excellent anticipation. He also cut his turnover-worthy play rate (tracked by Pro Football Focus) in half — 1.7% in 2023, down from 3.6% in 2022. Texas leaned on the play-action pass last fall and Ewers will have to do a bit more of his own in 2024 as the Longhorns have to replace both of their top wideouts and their top running back. If he takes another step in his development and keeps the Longhorns in the national title discussion, Ewers will have fans in NFL scouting departments. By my estimation, there appear to be 3 first-round locks next year; Ewers is one of them.

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado​

Look past the last name and the Rolex Flex and you’ll find a quarterback with a tantalizing set of skills. Colorado unequivocally failed to protect Sanders last fall, resulting in 56 allowed sacks and a starter who missed the final game of the season because of a fracture in his back. He has exceptional arm talent and made the move from FCS to FBS ball look like a walk in the park. In a clean pocket, there’s not a better passer returning in college football. On 333 dropbacks classified as “clean” by PFF last fall, Sanders had a 76.5% completion rate, 19 touchdowns against no interceptions, and only 2 turnover-worthy plays. He has a natural feel, escapability, and a clutch factor. Colorado is a bad football team made watchable by Sanders, and there will be multiple NFL teams interested in making him their next franchise face. He’s the most marketable player in the draft. And, yes, that is worth a small something. He’s my early favorite to be the top guy selected.
