We're not linked to any pass rushers which is our biggest need IMO. Makes me think they're moving Mack to DE.

I agree with you on hardy i would give him an extra couple of mil a year but not too much. I would love to see him opposite side to take the pressure off Mack.

I know i've called this organization incompetent and Reggie a lazy no good donuting stuffing idiot, but i don't think there that stupid to "fix" something that isnt "broken".
Don't know if Mack moving to DE would be a bad thing. If he was at DE would probably mean less tackles but more sacks. I think they should move Mack all over like most teams do with their best linebackers and lineman.
Do yaw think they're running a 3-4 next season?
I'm sure he would do well at DE but i just like him better as a linebacker. I want him to be all over the field making plays not strictly rush the passer.
I agree but like @NansensuToko if it ain't broke don't fix it. I would much rather see us bring in Johnson or Hardy and have Mack come off the same side with 1 of them.

I don't member what were we doing last season?
The DC going to have to do this because teams will be game-planning around Mack. We need to put him in situations so he can create all types of havoc

Its Kenny Jr. He was having dudes in Seattle watch tapes on him, im sure he's well aware of the game planning teams started to take and will change it up
It's been a disappointing offseason so far, but in all honesty, how many elite game-changing free agents were even available?
Suh? The Raiders would have had to offer like 130 mil plus 70 mil guaranteed to be competitive (considering CA state tax)
Revis? He was obviously considering only NE and the Jets
After that you got guys like Randall Cobb and Julius Thomas who look better than they are because of their elite quarterbacks. It would have been nice to get someone like that, but the Raiders would have had to overpay massively for guys who would help marginally. Word is they offered Cobb 11 mil per year and he stayed with GB for 10 mil a year. How much should they overpay for a slot receiver who is not really a number one?
Hudson is a good player. Dan Williams is just about as good as Terrance Knighton. I like the additions of Lofton and Smith.
The Raiders may have a lot of cap space, but their inability to use it to acquire superstars is because there just aren't many on the market. Most teams had to settle for consolation prizes.
Let's wait and see how the draft goes. I think the Raiders are trying to build the team the right way. They don't always look good doing it, but I think that has a lot to do with the market and with their limitations (history of losing, poor facilities, etc.). They have the right general idea and are slowly but surely building a foundation for the future.
