-Nick Delucha LB: lots of fans here, I thought he was worth a late round pick, apparently the Jags no longer think so
-Dan Skipper OL: believe he was a Cowboy not long ago and he garnered some positive training camp reports but Detroit didn’t want him anymore and the don’t exactly have a top flight OL
-Robert Aguayo K: wow, this guy might be the preeminent example of a K losing his mojo and never getting it back. One of the best college kickers in a long time, second round pick...several teams in two years...unemployed. Maybe we were scared Bailey had lost it too.
-Marcus Hardison DT: guy lot of us here liked in the mid rounds, chargers dropped him
-Darrell Williams OT: another guy a lot of us here liked in the late rounds at a time we needed RT, cut by Chargers
- Scooby Wright LB: lot of us here loved him coming out of Arizona, didn’t work out in Arizona
-Gavin Escobar TE: former Cowboy that we overdrafted with Lavon Bell, Travis Kelce, and G Larry Warford, honey badger, still on the board to name a few (all positions of need at the time)
-Blake Bell TE: lot of OU fans here were pumping him
-Marcell Ateman WR: big WR put up huge numbers in the Ok St system, didn’t make it in Oakland. Makes one wonder about James Washington and the whole product of the system criticism although Wash has gotten good reviews so far.
-Gabe Wright DT: lot of folks thought he had something, Raiders did not.
- Christian Hackenberg QB: never saw why a lot of folks thought he was good, including our coaching staff.
-Joey Ivey DT: I really thought he was going to make our team last year now he has struck in a second town. I remember hating the pick at the time and then our staff talking him up in camp and then gone.
-Luke Falk QB: lot of fans and coaches intrigued but Seattle is now, not
-Kevin Hogan QB: ditto above, i didn’t see it and now Washington doesn’t either but I believe someone else has since signed him.
 
Davis Webb is the biggest head scratcher for me. They passed on a QB because they wanted to groom him
 
They passed on a QB b/c they want to make one more super bowl run with ELI and Barkley is a generational talent at rb.

I agree for the most part. Barkley was the safe bet and I do believe you're correct as to why. But the "generational talent" remains to be seen.

Of course. But if I was a betting man.......

Of course, but he's a freak and sure does look like one.

Talk about a huge mistake. They'll be grooming while we lose games because of our noodle arm backup.

Ugh, our OL HAS to protect Dak. I'd hate to see him go down. Kiss the season goodbye.

This post really just made me rue the Escobar pick even more...
 
Wonder if Nick Deluca never recovered from his injuries in college. Dude flashed talent a few years ago but hard to improve/be at the same level when you are injured all the time.
Edit: Read the Titans wanted to move him to TE, but then he was traded to the Jags. He's on their PS now and the Jags DC is a former coach at where DeLuca played(NDSU)

Scooby Wright is just too slow for the NFL.
Luke Falk went to Miami. He was drafted by the Titans.
Hogan is a career backup at best.
Surprised about Ateman.
Gabe Wright never had a chance. Was with Miami for most of camp till he cheapshotted Drake(starting RB). Probably wasn't on the Raiders squad long enough to have a realistic chance.
Aguayo you are spot on. Mentally shot.
