I see legitimate competition from these younger guys & I like how DA & staff are addressing needs (DT, WR, QB), in subsequent drafts. |

Bryan Edwards Tre’Quan Smith However, will definitely agree having Juwan and Foster provide a ton of value at the TE position - and that both play it differently |

Olave is going to put up WR1 numbers. He’s that good. I believe Shaheed can excel as the #3, but if he can’t we know James Washington is a legit slot. |

Shaheed is still a wait and see for me. New QB. Won't surprise anyone. Can he replicate or improve on last year?? Edwards is a mystery. Raiders gave him away after that 500 yard season in which the kid played clutch down the stretch. Why? And then why did he flop in Atlanta? I get that team wasn't exactly airing it out but... I love the James Washington signing IF that foot isn't a problem... |
