lol bingoRotoworld's pre-draft dynasty rankings have McAffrey ahead of Fournette. Interesting, however, they have a WR ranked #1 so what the hell do they know

From Rotoworld:
The NFL has approved the Raiders' relocation to Las Vegas.
Shameful. The tally was 31-1, with only Dolphins owner Stephen Ross voting no. The NFL has taken to declaring "football is family," but what it really is is money. The Bay Area is one of the richest economic zones in all of human history, but Raiders owner Mark Davis is the poorest owner in the NFL. Since he apparently couldn't finance a stadium in Oakland and the local authorities wouldn't provide him corporate welfare, he's uprooted for Las Vegas, where a sports-desperate area and casino magnates will foot the bill. It's the NFL's third relocation in 15 months. Any time a team moves is a dark day for its league. Today is no different for the NFL. The Raiders will remain in Oakland for 2017 — and supposedly 2018 — with an eye toward arriving in Sin City in 2019.
Wow, can't believe they used the word shameful. Hopefully they're referring to the city of OaklandFrom Rotoworld:

If you get conned into going to LA, then go back, is it really 2 moves?I never really gave it a thought regarding teams moving.
It's nothing new.
But the Raiders seem to make a habit of it since this will be their 3rd move in their history.
I'd find it tough to be a fan of such a team. But that's me.
Like I said. It's me.If you get conned into going to LA, then go back, is it really 2 moves?
I guess growing up in Nebraska, with no "home team", I never got attached to a team with any concern tho their geography (the university isn't ever moving anywhere, so never had to worry about that) I'm sure if I lived in the area, I'd be pretty pissed.... at the city of Oakland for not getting a deal done.Like I said. It's me.
I thought the bay area and L.A. were rivals?
I wouldn't like it if the Bears moved to St. Louis then back to Chicago.
Otherwise I'd be a Colts fan. Maybe.
@TREFF honest question all off season i hear about how the raiders could habve atop 5 def. and they sucked, what happenedI guess growing up in Nebraska, with no "home team", I never got attached to a team with any concern tho their geography (the university isn't ever moving anywhere, so never had to worry about that) I'm sure if I lived in the area, I'd be pretty pissed.... at the city of Oakland for not getting a deal done.
Anyways, back when Madden first offered the dynasty mode where thou could relocate franchises, I'd always take my Raiders, move em tho Mexico city, and generally go bankrupt in 10 seasons cuz I went nuts building and upgrading the stadium.
Which reminds me, this stadium they'll be building in Vegas, said to be 55k to 65k seats? Kinda tiny ain't it? Tickets will be nuts, on scarcity alone. Surprised the NFL would even allow the plans for such a small venue.
Only thing I can come up with was it was similar to the "super team" defense the Eagles assembled a few years back. Too many key cogs were free agent adds from different systems, Bruce Irvin, Seth Smith for example. Took a little too long too gel. But at least they didn't implode, they improved and by the end of the season they were respectable, week to week. On the season the numbers sucked, but they definitely got better towards the end. If Mack and Irvin can keep that going, they could be a decent option this year, especially with CPat returning kicks and punts@TREFF honest question all off season i hear about how the raiders could habve atop 5 def. and they sucked, what happened
Pass happy offense does no favors for defenses either. Good ground game is the defense best friend.Only thing I can come up with was it was similar to the "super team" defense the Eagles assembled a few years back.

Very true, between an ineffective run blocking oline, and a lead back with the vision of Ray Charles, that sure didn't help. Beast Mode, AP, a strong rookie.. maybe that'll change things a bitPass happy offense does no favors for defenses either. Good ground game is the defense best friend.
not to mention a crap combine, bust alertDalvin Cook
He had a much better pro day.not to mention a crap combine, bust alert
how he ran faster and refused cone drillls and others he stood on his unathletic combine numbersHe had a much better pro day.
On a related note, Teez Tabor really tanked it in the workouts, both combine and pro day. However its hard to test instincts. I believe both he and Desmond King play faster than they run. Their tapes show how good they are IMO.
so playing faster rarely gets u drafted well or translates wellhow he ran faster and refused cone drillls and others he stood on his unathletic combine numbers
