how have I been weird?
this is why we love you
I'm just messing with you, Hulky, but I couldn't resist.:)Quote:

Branden Jackson, DE (to get under 90, post UDFA)
Jimmy Bean, DE (to get under 90, post UDFA)
TRADES
Raiders Receive:Round 5 Pick, Connor Barwin
Eagles Receive: Round 4 Pick
Reasoning: Connor Barwin was a veteran edge rusher that can contribute to our pass rush for potentially another year or two. In 3-4 looks he also has experience, and likely is a superior fit. Worst case scenario I just made a move similar to that of the Raiders signing Lamarr Woodley, but I believe Connor Barwin is likely not a bust. With Barwin, Aldon, Mack and Irvin we will have quiet a bit of rushing talent and another veteran to mentor James Cowser and Shilique Calhoun.
________
Raiders Receive: DJ Fluker, RT
Chargers Receive: Jihad Ward, DL
Reasoning: Jihad Ward was a selection I didn't agree with at the time, and new general manager is bringing in "his guys". This also replaces Austin Howard, one of our offseason needs. I think Jihad Ward still has upside, but I am addressing needs here.
________
Raiders Receive: Curtis Grant, MLB
Giants Receive: Ben Heeney, MLB
Reasoning: Ben Heeney I think has had his Oakland Raiders shot, so I flipped him to the Giants where he can compete for another fringe roster player Curtis Grant at the same position. Grant was a 5 star HS recruit that didn't really pan out at the Ohio State. His upside comes to Oakland with the ability to compete for a roster spot or potentially, if rules permit, become a developmental player on the practice squad.
________
Raiders Receive:
Brian Cushing - ILB
Kurtis Drummond - S
Round: 4th Pick: 24 Overall: 129
Texans Receive:
Dan Williams - 43DT
Austin Howard - RT
Round: 5th Pick: 10 Overall: 155
Round: 5th Pick: 24 Overall: 169
Reasoning: Brian Cushing addresses the need for a veteran leader in the middle of the defense. He is capable of all the mental and leadership abilities we are in need of in the center of our defense and has success playing with fellow trade acquisition Connor Barwin. Like the Barwin trade I view this as a stop gap in an effort to have enough talent for a SB push in a two year window before reloading. Kurtis Drummond was a mid-late round safety prospect I liked out a couple draft classes back that ended up undrafted but has remained in the league. I view him as depth at safety with developmental upside of starter potential.
_______
Raiders Receive:
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu - CB
Pick 243
Dolphins Receive :
Pick 208
Reason: Ifo as a prospect before his injury was a top nickel corner, now coming off his second ACL (and irl release) I figured I would place a bet on his rebound and move down a bit in the late rounds to control his contract should he return successfully. When we theoretically trim to 53 players, Ifo will almost assuredly take an IR spot, which is an acquisition with minimal cost.
________
Raiders Receive:
5th Round Draft Selection
Steelers Receive :
Sean Smith, CB
Reason: Making cap room and getting a draft pick. CB will be one of the more likely BPA positions when we enter the clock in the first round and it's a deep class. Sean Smith is a fair starter, slightly overpaid, slightly old but a good couple year plan. If I had been smarter and noticed Tre Mason waiver claim would cost me roughly 4mil I'd have never done that and would likely have kept Sean Smith. For that reason I think the Steelers get the edge in this trade.
________
Raiders Receive:
13th Overall Draft Selection
Cardinals Receive :
2017 Round 1 (Pick 24)
2017 Round 3
2018 Round 3
Reason:Traded up to select our top rated CB on our board to address the most glaring need of our team.

doing mock drafts in pre-draft offseason football is not weird lol
also Nightmarez posts on rotoworld are far more in depth than posts I make on football sites (like he dellllllves into individual players and plays)
hearing gooddell booed at the draft is one of my all-time guilty pleasures
holy shit a trade already!
HOLY BALLS WHAT
i guess that explains why they gave up so much to trade up 1 spot
EXPLAIN
I'm not watching
the chicago bears traded up to #2 to tell the world that they thought the legend of zelda: breath of the wild is an overrated game
