Typical Raiders selection. They like 'em fast. My real question is what was Pryor's expression when he found out he was picked by Oakland? I would have been like, "Oh snap, time to retire!" Unless the family was on camera during the announcement, I can imagine they were like, "Ehh, at least you'll be making good money!"

I hope Pryor can adjust to having a new head coach every season or every other season. Even when a coach does decent (Tom Cable), Al Davis fires them.

Here's a good article about Terrelle Pryor basically meeting a dead-end with Oakland.

So even though Mallett and Pryor were given similar draft status projections, Mallett is now much more likely to succeed in the NFL, simply because the Pats took him. Meanwhile, Pryor may trail off due to a lack of direction and leadership. If Hue Jackson scolds Pryor, Al Davis may breathe down on Jackson, just as he did Tom Cable and Lane Kiffin with Jamarcus Russell. At the end of the day, Hue Jackson is just another Tom Cable or Lane Kiffin. They may coach different, act different, or be different, but old Al Davis is too conceited and wants to win NOW, since Al Davis knows he doesn't have much time left on Mother Earth. If Hue Jackson doesn't deliver Al Davis a strong season, Hue Jackson gets the boot, and Pryor is left to suffer.

Basically, I feel sorry for Pryor. He got swept into an awful situation with no means of escape (except retirement). Perhaps this is bad karma in retaliation for Pryor's past actions.

I feel sorry for the young man - the nicest thing I can say about Davis is he's a piece of work. I hope he lives forever :-) The Raiders were starting to show some promise and he turned things upside down AGAIN!

Davis: My head coach is actually pretty good and he swept the division while giving us our first non-losing season in a long time, while still showing lots of room for improvement? Let's fire him!

The NFL needs to take over this franchise or force him to step down. The dudes obviously lost his marbles. I feel sorry for the Raiders fans. How on earth could you keep on cheering for them when their owner year in and year out destroys the team chemistry. If I was a player and got drafted by them I'd pull an Eli and refuse. Btw where is Cable at now? Guy definitely has potential to be a good coach.

If I remember correctly, he is now coaching in Seattle

    • There’s been a lot of comments made by Ballard lately that they are always planning a few years out, while the coach is pushing for players that can help now. So it’s a balance. He’s made comments that the goal is to protect and provide weapons for AR. The talent at the top of the draft seems like there could be a couple really good offensive lineman falling down to us, with a run on receivers and skill players. I don’t necessarily see that, I think there could be a run on qbs, tackles, and pass rushers with the obvious 3 receivers before we pick. That could potentially push all corners, as well as Bowers down to 15. But say, both corners and Bowers go top 15, who does that push out? Most likely a talented tackle. They can either trade back or take the highest rated player on the board, which would provide swing tackle depth, and a plan for if Smith is injured/isnt re-signed following 2025. Some are speculating it might be best to move Smith to guard in that scenario. 
    • I don't believe this would ever happen as the price would be much too steep. The only way this is even a remote possibility is if the Pats do not like Maye or McCarthy . Then this would also need the QB needy teams to feel the same as NE . The value of Maye , if he's a franchise QB is multiple firsts. IMO , you can't give up that for a WR
    • Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start! 
    • Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB. 
    • Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
