That former GM took the team from a complete joke to a playoff contender.
For all of exactly one season.
Do you rebuild by trading your best WR in a scoring league?
Didnt mean to derail from OP.
if I recall, that team looked prime for run for some time -- Carr broke his leg and they never recovered did they? Nice OL, Mack, Carr, Cooper...
Man, someone F'ed that thing up. Too bad for Bay fans, now they can root for a Vegas team.
That completely built via FA O-Line fell apart fast. Of all those high draft picks how many panned out? I just never bought the narrative that he was a good GM.
That doesn't mean that Chucky won't screw up the Picks. Shoot, its the Raiders. I sort of expect him to reach on at least two of them.

Remember, he's got Mayock running the scouts now. So out of all the actual scouts out there, they pick a media draft analyst. Mayock has said that Gruden will have the final say, but I honestly couldn't think of a worse situation.

I have a buddy who is a Raider fan. Been joking with him ever since they hired Chucky asking who they were gonna bring in next-- Tony Dungy for DC, Jimmy Johnson for OC, Mike Tirico for Special Teams, etc. Then they actually brought in Mayock for GM. Too funny
This would help a lot...
Daniel Jones - QB - Blue DevilsBleacher Report's Matt Miller mocks three quarterbacks to go in the top ten of his latest mock draft.
Miller just projects the top ten in his instagram post, but there are three quarterbacks who go: Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins to the Giants at six, Duke's Daniel Jones to the Jaguars at seven, and Missouri's Drew Lock to the Broncos with the 10th selection. On his latest podcast, Miller here's that scouts believe there should be four quarterbacks taken in the top 15, with Kyler Murray likely that fourth signal-caller. There's a ton of volatility in this class, but there are teams that need answers there, and that quantity/quality should match-up in quite a few going early in 2019.Source: Matt Miller on Instagram

So Kyler Murray tells baseball that if a team drafts him he will commit to baseball. A's draft him in the first round and give him $5M. He then declares for the NFL draft. I don't know how anyone can risk taking him in the first round. What's more, I hear all these comparisons to Brees and Wilson and Mayfield, but those guys are roughly 6 feet. There are rumors that Murray could be as short as 5-9. Top 15? I have a hard time believing that.

I am betting if he gets more guaranteed from football on his rookie deal that is the direction he heads, but he will likely have to go pretty early in the draft to get more than 5 mill guaranteed. any word on if MLB is going to give the As any wiggle room on their rookie money to try and entice him to go baseball over football? the league restricts clubs when it comes to rookies so that is a handcuff of the As right now to sweeten it on their own.

Well, in fairness, it was before he played a lot of college football right? He is going to have to give back most of the signing bonus as well.
But after winning the Heisman it is hard to pass on a potential first round guaranteed contract which would be double his baseball signing bonus and he would hit free agency in 5 years. I believe the time for him to become an UFA in baseball is much longer.
Plus, he has not shown as much in baseball as football. He has shown enough but at a Heisman level.
