Raiders linked to Julio Jones

After getting John Brown, I'm not that excited about trading away a draft pick for him. Every year it seems he's out for long stretches, so to me it's not worth a potential 3rd rounder.

If they got him for say a 5th, I'd be all for it. He may still command a double team, opening up defenses stacking Waller next year. No way Waller has the same numbers this season, teams will scheme him out of crazy numbers. I hope Ruggs and Bryan Edwards are up for the challenge.

Agreed. I don't want to give up picks for old(er) guys.

Yeah, I just don't think Mayock is into importing age right now. I think we only re-signed Incognito because our G situation would have been pretty desperate without him. But he's a CHEAP guy who can bring along our younger dudes - like John Brown.

I think Carr is a better QB than Ryan, and I think Jones would do better here than in ATL. But I just don't want to pay big money to old guys, man. It's not smart.

Picking up Ngakoue was GREAT, we should have signed him longer-term like we did with Miller - another great signing/extension.
