Official Coli Mock Draft: Pick 5 - Oakland Raiders

[2Quik4UHoes]

branch hasn't been the same after his fibula injury and ankle injury..he's a track dude and after a couple of injuries some players are not the same and he seem like one of them

Only problem with defense last year there wasn't no depth at all. I put alot of blame on pryor and mcgloin because them dudes was 3 and out every series. no time for a no depth having defense to catch a breath

Most def, both sides of the ball are deficient but to me the defense is more of a problem. It was games where the offense gives the defense a good cushion to work with and by the middle of the 4th quarter the opposing team is damn near bout to tie or take the lead. I think what would do us good is a real good power running attack, I miss that Fargas/D-Mac/Bush combo that was such a dynamic backfield we had that one fullback(forget the name) that was just a damn road grater gettin nikkaz out the way before his knee got shredded. But that 3 headed monster was a perfect balance both in the runners themselves and in what they provided. If we had a good running attack like that it'd help our offense keep drives going cuz some of the defensive issues was like you said the lack of depth and not being able to rest after a successful defensive series.

smfh, goddamn I wish I owned this team I'd really get my Al on in the press box building contenders and suing cacs.

That's how the raiders was winning-- ball control with the running game and pretty good defense..I hope DMC stay in the weight room this offseason and MJD can get back to that 4.8 ypg.. This will make schaub more comfortable on second and 3rd down where it's 3 and 5

 

[NatiboyB]

I'm going with Mack but questions for the brehs why is he rating better than Barr? I really like barrs pro potential.

Yeah, it's like in this purgatory we had moments where the team has bright spots. A power running attack like that is a must, that's why I hated when they tried to switch to a zone after we had all that success with the power scheme. If we can get that goin again whoever is the QB will have something to lean on at least. If it were up to me the offense would give'em body shots to begin the game, then break the speed on em, then finish em off with more body shots and defensive pressure once we got a lead. If Reggie can inject this defense with playmakers and find some gems for the running game in the later rounds then we'll be a much improved team. All we'd need to do is get rid of the bum ass OC, it still pisses me off they're stupid enough to not invest in Pryor. His issues just take practice and coaching to get rid of, shoulda been our secret weapon to develop while we get bum stop gaps.

That's my problem with the raiders, they want to follow trends. 1 year it's the power game, next year it's the west coast offense, next year it's something else..

This team need to be similar to the steelers where power football and great defense when championships.

stop trying to score a TD on 1st and 2nd down from your own 15. this is not madden on rookie mode

 

[5StarElite]

Doubt they go wit a QB after trading for Schaub bum ass. Mack the pick

 

[lutha]

should be mack, but they gonna take a wr...so if it's watkins, they taking him...if he gone, they taking whomever they think is the second best available...in the case of the poll, that's evans....

Exactly, a lot of coaches have said they gon bring back the Raiders and Raider football but only a few of them actually did that. Al's formula was simple and imo can still work if you use it right. Use power and speed to wear down opponents and have a big imposing defense disrupting the offense and playing aggressively, have a mix of football players and athletes and provide a top-notch coaching staff and let them work. It's like these coaches just say the slogans and think its sweet, this team shoulda got it together a long time ago. I'm sure if we had drafted AD instead of we woulda been back by now but oh well, Reggie don't need to make this team the Packers he need to make it the Raiders.

 

[AVXL]

I like Mack here, but with Schaub on the roster I thought Matthews might be a possibility here too

 

[Supreme]

If not Clowney, Mack or Barr​

 

[Bomberman]

I'm going with Mack but questions for the brehs why is he rating better than Barr? I really like barrs pro potential.

I read somewhere somebody said Barr seems to be afraid of contact. Almost all of Barr's game is purely speed rush, if he doesn't win with that, he gets stuffed. You can teach technique, but if they're reluctant to get physical, it'll limit their effectiveness at getting into the backfield.

Mack and Attaochu are just more versatile and aren't scared to get right into the OT's pads and force them back to collapse the pocket. Plus they're much better at using their hands, Mack more consistent than Attaochu in that regard though.

I don't know the exact numbers so I can't say, but I know the skins are a real contender in this and since it a division rival it gives more incentive to get back at his old team. That's why I'm sayin we need to be on moves now. Honestly, I think he gon sign with the skins because Reggie gon sit around and bullshyt cuz DJax ain't a "Christian".
