When have I said the Broncos have great players at every position and depth on the team? I just said the Raiders don't look like a good team this year. They have 1/4th of their roster now as 30 years or older players most with a long long list of injuries that have slowed them down over the years. Draft wise almost every single website out there agrees the Raiders had one of if not the worst draft in the NFL this year. They are now looking at the possibility of two starting Tackles being suspended to start the season. They still haven't exactly added a whole lot to that defense that was down right terrible last year so again in my opinion the Raiders look like the worst team in the AFC West.

Honestly I can point to the weak spots of the Broncos pretty easily right now. Off Ball linebacker opposite Brandon Marshall is still a weak point that teams worked to exploit last year. Josey Jewell might beat out Todd Davis for the starting spot but he is a rookie so can't count him as an upgrade at this point.

3rd CB now that Talib is gone. Lots of players competing for the spot but again a big time unknown that will be weaker than last year.

3rd WR is still a huge unknown as well. They drafted a couple of guys last year and a couple of guys this year but they are all young so again weakness until proven otherwise.

RG is the weak spot on the OL. While I expect growth from Bolles from year one to year two until he shows it on the field I can't say that with confidence.

TE doesn't have a surefire starter at this point. Couple of young hopefuls in Jake Butt and Troy Fumagali but have to see it on the field.

Still don't know who the punt returner will be this year as it was a huge weakness last year for the team.

There you go. Plenty of weak spots on the Broncos right now.

Looking at the Raiders though...

RT is still a huge unknown for that team. And with the edge rushers whoever the starter is will go against it will be quite the challenge. Penn struggled last year and is another year older. Can he bounce back?

Jared Cook has been inconsistent at best for the TE position. Nothing big to write home about.

Lynch is another year older and didn't really produce at that high of a level last year for them.

On defense the DL beyond Mack is one huge question mark at this time. Yeah they got some young pieces but we will have to see how they actually do. Can't say with confidence they will do anything for the Raiders this year.

Linebacking core still looks like one of the bottom-3 in the NFL.

The secondary also looks like a bottom-3 unit in the NFL. Conley hasn't proven anything up to this point in his career, Nelson is aging big time, and as of right now Darius Hillary is the other starting CB and he has been on 3 different teams in just the last year alone.

Punting wise not sure what the new guy will bring to the table same with the kicking game.

Gonna be soooooooooooooo pissed if we end up trading Mack.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

WTF, Papa out ?

Love his replacement. Thought he was retired to be a beting odds man in Vegas.

Mack traded but we got a pair of 1st rounders and flipped a 5th for one of the best backup QB's in football....AJ McCarron. Insurance in case Carr gets hurt.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We offered Mack 20 mill....he wanted 23.5 per season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Cautiously optimistic about our rotation of WR's in Cooper, Nelson, LaFell, and Roberts.

Coop needs to bounce back to his rookie season and stop with the drops.....if healthy Nelson is a grerat #2 and possible #1 if Coop can't bounce back, LaFell was a nice pickup to replace Bryant, and Roberts has shown flashes of potential in the last 3 seasons.....he needs to continue to develop.

Group of big and physical WR's....

You kind of forgot an important part of that deal in giving back a 2nd round pick as well.

And we also got a 3rd rounder

Mack is a huge loss for the Raiders.

Jordy Nelson was a good addition.
