cd you out there?

Yes sir.

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Yes sir.

What up dude
I was just wondering what you think of Joe Flacco?
Also rumors that you guys want to trade up for the 5-7 Murray, is that true?

I think Flacco is a better QB than Keenum but not a huge upgrade by any means. More he is just a better fit in the type of system they want to run and the type of QB they are looking for.

As for the rumors on Murray I like him so if they pick him I could definitely get behind that decision. I've been told it is more Drew Lock that they like and are hoping will be there at 10.

So would Flacco be a bridge QB for Kyler Murray or Drew Lock?
Or is he the QB for the next few years?

Rumors the Broncos really like Haskins but i think the Broncos trade up for Murray.

He is a bridge QB for sure. Now whether that means they take a QB this year or next I do not know yet. I know talking to people connected to the Broncos that Lock is the QB they are loving but the combine and pro days can change some of that order as they get to know the players better.

 

[cdumler7]

Any idea how you want the Raiders to use their 3 1st round picks?

Im interested to see what Flacco can do. Dude was a big game QB there for a bit. Im still pretty sure he won't be enough to beat us though.

And good chance Lock is there around 10 when you guys pick.

Good question.
Pass rusher for sure at 4. So very good choices this year in what looks like a loaded draft for defense.
The second two picks could go offensive skill players. WR,RB,TE, and there are some good choices there as well.
A lot will depend on FA though. Some pretty good choices in FA as well. And there is always a trade for AB as well.

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

This is a loaded draft for both offense and defense cd. Very good draft.

I hope for both Flacco to show well and for Lock to be there at 10. I like his game and think he has a huge ceiling.

Ehhh there are some good players for sure. I wouldn't call it a loaded draft but there are some positions that are deep. TE, Tackle, DL, and Edge all look like very deep positions. The rest not so much.

Im not sold on Drew Lock. Sort of reminds me of Paxton Lynch. Haskins is the real prize, IMO

Arm talent yes he has a lot of the same skill set as that of Paxton. The reason I like him more than Paxton boils down to two things 1) Intelligence...Paxton was dumber than a box of rocks. Couldn't memorize the playbook and really didn't put the effort into learning the playbook. He would rather play video games than work to become great. Lock has shown over and over again that not only has he worked hard to improve his game but his ability to break down film is pretty impressive.

2) Leadership. Players did not really gravitate to Paxton. Lock on the other hand is a guy known as a great locker room presence and player that others want to follow.

 

[cdumler7]

And I guess you can disagree with me on my thoughts of the draft. There are some positions I like as I said before and others that I really wouldn't want to touch. Such as this RB group isn't close to what last year's was. QB wise obviously not what last year's group was. WR has a good variety of players but only a couple that I would say have the upside to be true #1 type guys. Safety only has a few. CB is weak. Off Ball linebacker has about 3 guys that look good but beyond them is a bunch of guys with huge question marks.

No way the Broncos take Murray, IMO. He's just not the typical kind of QB that Elway covets. 5'9".....not gonna work with Elway's vision of a big armed, pocket passer. Drew Lock is their target, if they take a QB at 10. As things stand today, I don't see the Broncos taking a QB in the 1st round. They'll take BPA and hold on until the 2020 draft.
