Só para deixar claro para quem me segue: eu sou torcedor. Não sou jornalista, não sou coach, não sou especialista, não sou scout. Só sou apaixonado por futebol e pelos Raiders. Então na hora de jogo esperem muita irracionalidade e imediatismo, como um torcedor passional.
Os Raiders não terem um mísero jogo no Prime Time mesmo com novo QB calouro, novo coach, foi inesperado para mim.
Nem um TNF vagabundo restou.
Resultado de anos de mediocridade e falsas esperanças.
Porém, geralmente quando isso acontece, temos uma temporada melhor.
Wanted to test the Darren McFadden-Mike Washington comparison, and they have pretty similar athletic profiles
Same 40 time and broad jump, Wash has more mass, longer arms and a better vertical, while DMC had better agility numbers

Raiders teve o segundo draft mais bem avaliado pela imprensa.
Não diz nada, mas custa nada alimentar nossa esperança e felicidade com mudança de trajetória da franquia
.@Raiders got the best RB in draft last year; and maybe the 2nd best RB in the draft this year with taking Mike Washington jr with the #122 in 4th round #BaldysBreakdowns
"If you put [Jermod McCoy] in [the Raiders] cornerback room right now, and he's healthy, he's probably the best."
@BMac_SportsTalk picks Jermod McCoy as his biggest steal of the NFL Draft.
🚨 2026 NFL Draft Team Grades
In my annual draft grades round-up, I have compiled 24 different evaluations and calculated the GPA for all 32 teams.
I sorted the evaluations by GPA as well. From left (soft) to right (hard graders).
Thanks to all who give out grades every year! 🔥
"John Spytek has nailed this draft. It's as simple as that."
ESPN draft analysts gushed about the #Raiders' 10-pick haul headlined by Fernando Mendoza:
"This is one of the best drafts I've seen this year... It's easy to do that when you have the No. 1 pick, but they're doing it consistently in every round. Jermod McCoy was the top corner in this draft for me. If he can get on the field... he is an absolute star, an All-Pro caliber corner... (Safeties) Stukes and Johnson are such great athletes." - Matt Miller
"The only team that has five of my top-100 players in this draft, Las Vegas Raiders. Six of my top 109... The difference between this version of the Raiders and what we've seen in different years/administrations is the alignment being much more connected now... I like the initial outlook for Fernando Mendoza and this offense." - Field Yates
"You got pieces around the QB... You add Mike Washington Jr. to Ashton Jeanty. You got Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. You added Jalen Nailor. Glaze can come through at RT. Defensively you added pieces. Watch out. Once Mendoza figures it out, it's not going to take him long to crack the code... Once Mendoza establishes himself, they're off to the races. This team is being built to win." - Mel Kiper
"I personally think it's incredible... (Round 6 pick) Malik Benson played big-time football for Oregon down the stretch... ripping good defenses. That's how you maximize value at every part of the draft... Develop and implement these guys on the field so you get tangible results. But as far as the GM is concerned, John can sit back and say, 'I did what I had to do.'" - Louis Riddick
