So they are leaving out Bryan Edwards, picked along side Bowden in the 3rd, why? He is starting opposite Ruggs.
Also, the Bowden pick sucked, but we did manage to get something back for it.
John Simpson taken at pick 109 has looked pretty good on the field and is expected to take the RG spot soon. Amik Robertson, draft 139, was a disaster at Slot Corner, but has looked really good on the boundry. Bit small, but has shown out since they put him back on the outside.
Raiders had a pathetic DC in there, and Gruden should have fired his buddy much sooner. We actually have a competent DC now, and perhaps the best secondary coach in the game in Ron Millus. Arnette I'm not sure about. Looked decent at times, but terrible at others. Millus will have to earn his money with him. [Reply]

He actually looked pretty good in the preseason. Doubt anyone claims him on waivers, should see soon I suppose. Probably will be on the Raider PS. [Reply]

The Raiders thought Ruggs was the best WR in his class, drafting him ahead of Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, and Tee Higgins. [Reply]

Yeah, this may definitely come out as a miss but that is not set in stone yet. Jefferson looks to be the best so far. Ruggs will be more of a focal point this year in the Raiders offense so his number will increase. He also added 15lbs of muscle. The pressure is on him and the Raiders for him to produce.

He might turnout to be a great receiver.
Better upgrade the quarterback position, or he’s gonna be Dwayne Bowe with Alex Smith. [Reply]

They drafted him so they cod have their Tyreek. Unfortunately they don't have their version of Mahomes throwing it to him. [Reply]

All the way to the elementary school playground. It’s on now.
A hilarious development occurred when a Kansas grammar school ordered a ton of Kansas City Chiefs’ balls to celebrate the start of the school year and the NFL season kicking off. When the order was received from Amazon, school officials were in for quite a shock.
They got footballs alright — Las Vegas Raiders’ balls." [Reply]

How many of those kids will eventually be walking around LV with a buzz when they grow up?

Raiders: 3rd in deep completions (25+) last season. [Reply]
