Raiders traded Cooper and Mack

[Mobinvans]

Lol, that is all..!!!!

 

[RamziD]

That’s because Gruden is an evil genius, man

 

[DFWJC]

Seems nuts....especially Mack
But it'll all depend long term on how they spend the multiple 1st rounders and 200 million in cap space

Hell, it won’t happen, but theotically they could get the players back down the road AND keep the extra 1st rounders

He's doing it so he can justify not being fired sooner, and milk a few more million out of the Raiders. Allows him to argue he needs time to get his own players in and to put his system in place.

Maybe he is doing it so he CAN be fired sooner. Maybe he wants to on the beach getting payed for the next 10 years! Isn’t his contract gaurenteed?

So glad Gruden didn’t end up coaching in Dallas.

 

[Hook'em#11]

He's getting his guys. Just wait. He's done this before. And, it worked. I am still glad he isn't on MNF or in Dallas.

When and how did it work before? Do tell.

He won with Tony Dungy’s team.

My apologies. I thought he had a hand in the drafting...

 

[chagus]

I actually liked him on MNF. Well... i dont have issues with any anouncers. Only one i dont like is Theismann.

Cant judge these trades this season. In 1989 people were laughing at the Cowboys trading Herschel Walker.

Lol, that is all..!!!!

At one point it looked like Dallas might be handing Oakland a top 5 pick in 2019.

I think both Chicago & Dallas can clinch their divisions with wins this weekend.

If they do, I think the best picks Oakland can get in 2019 are #25 & #26

playing to give Oakland as low a 1st rd pick as possible is fine with me

Though, Oakland could trade those picks for teams looking to trade back up into the late 1st so I guess they’ll be OK.

Would be a bit of irony if Dallas were one of those teams & found a gem

 

[Longboysfan]

I would think if the Raiders are in those slots - along with their top 5 pick as it stands now - they will trade their top pick to move back.
Then one of their later first round picks for more picks the next year.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Yeah but did you say Mark's hair? Good lord that many looks seriously fugly...

Problem he has been terrible at drafting and a poor evaluator of talent

When you're a billionaire, you can wear a rainbow mullet and a meat suit without worrying what anyone else thinks of you (and still get laid).

Then the next barrel of picks for a peck of pickled peppers, then his 10 years will be up and he'll ask for an extension because, you know, everything will just be coming together by then.
