Never forget that Maxx Crosby threatened to ask for a trade if Antonio Pierce wasn’t made head coach.

RD 4 | PK 112 - Raiders: Decamerion Richardson CB, Mississippi State

The @Raiders add the cornerback with the highest athleticism score (88) among his position group in this year's class to a pass defense that allowed the 2nd-highest expected completion percentage in 2023 (67.9%).

@tashanreed I’m not a fan of the pick, and would have preferred a DB

Packers to sign RB Josh Jacobs. (via @rapsheet + @tompelissero)

[The Ballast @ballastsports]

AOC should have the chance to compete. The Raiders should also draft a QB early in the draft. These views are not in conflict.

[Eric Galko @EricGalko]

#Raiders should give Aidan O’Connell every opportunity to be the 2024 starter

Confident, plenty talented, respected in locker room, and clearly handled pressures/mental aspect of playing QB in NFL

Ended the year strong too. Last 4 games: 3-1 record, 8 TDs, 0 INT, 98.5 QB Rating

@Hsheppard97 @BWilliamsonNFL Caleb doesn’t really have a choice. Also, if your scenario played out, the bears would probably trade the 1st pick to the highest bidder. There’s no indication who that is

[The Ballast @ballastsports]

@Hsheppard97 @BWilliamsonNFL If Chicago isn’t willing to trade their pick, how exactly does Washington have a path to get Caleb?

It doesn’t matter if AP is a “leader of men” if he can’t hire a competent OC

A twist in Las Vegas: Kliff Kingsbury has withdrawn himself from consideration for the offensive coordinator job of the Raiders, per his agent @ErikBurkhardt.

@VinnyBonsignore @Raiders From Thailand to Vegas 🫡
