Yes. We still have a choice but based on the order of GMs listed. -

To Ballard's credit his first draft was a very weird position. Ballard had Pagano as coach and the two of them had some very serious fundamental discrepancies about what constituted a winning football team - for example, Ballard clearly wants a 4-3 D and Pagano was a 3-4 guy. Pagano was raving about Hooker as the next Ed Reed (I still wonder if Ballard would have made that pick had he has Reich and Flus in the building instead of Chuck). To Hooker's credit, he was in the running for DROY and Pro Bowl until he got hurt his rookie year and he did look a bit better in the 3-4 than he has in the 4-3 (IMO anyway), though for the most part he's been solid for us (when healthy). Mack was turning into a stud for us before he got hurt last year. Grover Stewart has really improved and earned his big contract extension that he got mid-season last year. Anthony Walker also produced multiple 100+ tackle seasons for us and was very productive for a late round guy. While Banner didn't work out for us (sounds like a bad work ethic), he's been a starter in the league... Basham and Hairston have been OK for the NYJ and Q. Wilson was playing with the NYG late last season. I may be wrong as of right now (current free agency) but I believe everyone of Ballard's draft picks from 2017 (his first draft) on are still in the league in some capacity. My guess would be that he's the only GM in the league who could say the same (or one of the very few). -
Raiders have NO pass rush, they're desperate. So if they cut a 24 years old pass rusher, no thank you..
