I don’t think the Raiders are playing this very smart. Carr is decent but he’s the worst QB in that division. They will struggle to finish 3rd in that division next year. They may have been better off launching something of a rebuild in an effort to get a top tier QB who could compete with Mahomes and Herbert over the next decade.

Not to completely downplay the impact of receivers but this shows that even the best don't make the impact on W/L that most other positions do, particularly when you have a great QB.

That is terrible.   Feel horrible for him.   Hopefully he’s ok.  

Depending on how serious it is, he could lose millions in his rookie deal. I wouldn’t be surprised to see projected first round picks be healthy scratches from the Combine and Pro Days in the future. Why risk it?

I'm sure it is. If this is as bad as it looks for him though, the damage is likely done. Recovery will likely take him out for at least the first half of the coming season, and he is not likely to have as strong a season coming off of injury and not being across from Hutchinson. He could fall even further if he suffers a setback and misses the entire season.

He is likely better off taking his tumble in the draft. A team that can afford to redshirt him will take him, it's not like he'll go undrafted. He could have gone top five though.

I read that they heard a pop in the ankle area. Could be an Achilles. If it is an Achilles, he could even fall out of the draft. 

*Edit* The Achilles is just speculation on my part.

I don't think he will fall further than the 3rd or 4th round. The Lions are becoming Achilles experts, I would definitely consider him at 66. We can afford a redshirt season.

More competition, nice. Great deal. 2018 first rd pick who played well last year. Okudah and Jacobs coming off of injury, CB is a position where someone can really step up.  The Jacobs injury was so unfortunate.

mike hughes was let go in minny for a reason: he was terrible.  he was sheltered in kansas city and when he played against good teams that game planned (like buffalo or the chargers) he got roasted.  see above.

he's a depth piece and a swing on a guy with draft pedigree, but the odds that hughes will be good are low.  

i hope okudah is healthy, oruwariye contines to improve, and hughes rarely sees the field.

It’d be nice if they draft a CB as well. More competition the better.

okudah, melifanwu, Jacobs, oruwariye, Hughes.  Top 100 draft pick would make sense. 

Jacobs won’t be ready for camp I assume.
