Mark Davis

Alex not a bad as Peter sharing your words are not the Oakland Raiders . General manager Reggie McKenzie he's an interesting quote I always loved hearing GMs that the difference in the draft the player the best player available or the need a Reggie said was I think he got the best player. And fill that need down the line they need on players they have a lot any. Don't gimme grade on how the Raiders did how Reggie did as we see this new direction. I'm given the Oakland Raiders when he thirteen NFL draft in day out. -- as a team that is still behind the eight ball because of what

the first round DJ hit -- a lot of people said. The Raiders will it take him third overall they get a twelfth overall a star quarterback. Ever -- -- DJ Hagan arena just up there with the Miller that gets dark corner -- they need. And the second round -- a -- Watson the kid from Manchester England comes in. Only a few years of football experience but he is an athletic specimen and a talented Smart kid he's gonna play for them. And I also like still more at a Connecticut and for the team the Raiders that had a lot of problems last year's salary cap issues. They've shed themselves that completely start -- and they pick up three talented players I think you're gonna make immediate impact. In the fourth round they dedicated Tyler Wilson. And the joke got made was -- the last time Matt Flynn was a cornerback we want to see a kid named Wilson back -- him mom you don't Oregon. Here in Seattle and New York out of Arkansas they are it's not kid comes in in Oakland but he's a play or not people like his toughness I think he'll push Matt -- a little bit. It's great draft day for the Raiders I. A -- and you know look it's an amazing story and DJ hate us suffered at this young man was fifteen minutes. From dying last year after a practice in Houston he got hit by teammates meet in the chest. And it ended up severing of pain in this park. And his stomach started to -- with blood and fortunately there were able to go ahead and because of the great treatment of the -- -- -- -- medical staff the trainers there if we get into a hospital able to save his life. Literally and then you go from that. All the wind out of being the number twelve pick like you said. They would he would've been potentially pick at number three the Oakland Raiders didn't really to meet receive at the type of compensatory value for the number three pick. That may be that they could've had they done this this trade was a -- until two minutes were left on the clock. Miami Dolphins off of that second round pick in the Raiders a look in the land of the blind the one I've -- concede they were very desperate to go ahead and get. The second round pick it any sort of value especially thinking the DJ Hayden. This will be available on that board there we're gonna give -- get a corner no matter what it looked like a number twelve so there were falling too far back of your Raiders fan and the quarterback situation is such a mass you're hoping that Tyler Wilson can avoid the same -- -- mid round picks like Andrew Walter of Marcus Tuiasosopo. A Terrelle Pryor now apparently since he really doesn't seem to be in the plans. I think going forward I just think -- and Al Davis -- that they're gonna basically shed themselves up at some point -- Matt Flynn and now you know getting all the working with the first team that is neither an open competition really. At this point in Oakland so maybe Tyler Wilson to. Avoid that they've paid and you talked about the Oakland Raiders in the salary cap next year the Raiders -- expected to have more than forty million dollars available. And with a lot of teams shortly into salary cap and so many players on one year type contract situations in the NFL. I think the Raiders could get awfully good in free agency awfully fast 2014 but -- got to get through this. Yet with none out in

base it disintegrates even further and people lose patience I hope that Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis has faith in Reggie McKenzie will allow him is -- this process through. But not sure about -- our. You know a lot of pressure on him he made some -- hires last year now Tony Soprano is going to be running this offense and do you have any confidence at all this Raiders team winning more than 45 games. And that is a problem so it may look great on paper right now with the Raiders are doing that's why give him a B. But what -- the -- to be able to see this whole thing through
