That's a good sign for both Mayer and the Raiders. Hopefully, the guy's life is on solid footing.

Well, shows how badly the front office has been. that's also with just 2 PO appearances as well.
I mean, that 2nd draft by Zeigler/McDaniels, sheesh...
Wilson, never liked taking a guy who was hurt and not ready for the season. Needed a big year 2 to justify the pick and so far, very disappointing. Liked Gonzalez the CB instead of Wilson pick.
Mayer, liked the pick. too bad he had his personal issues to deal with. Hope he's completely over them and they can run a strong 2TE set with Bowers.
Young, cut after 1 season.
Tucker, speed WR who is likely a WR3 for most clubs at the moment. Not sure he can be a WR2 down the line.
Bennett, probably the best pick to be a starting CB in the NFL long term.

Does not look like a good QB draft upcoming.
Sanders, the best of the group.
Ward, like Caleb leans heavily into off platform, so doing the basics can be a challenge for him. Will frustrate OC in running the offense as designed.
Ewers, so far really Nix type upside. Don't see him being a game changer, but should run an offense.
Beck, I would not draft him in round 1. Not sure he's a starter in the NFL.
Milroe, needs development as a passer.
I don't envision 2 QBs going top 5. Ewers, shouldn't go top 10 based on merit. But, you have multiple teams needing a QB in 2025.

Raiders' Brock Bowers sets NFL rookie tight end record with 13 catches versus Dolphins
Bowers is fulfilling expectations as a top NFL tight end in his rookie season.

Beaten badly by Miami who was on a short week with a cross country flight home, while coming off a bye week.

For those hoping for a Raiders tank, the Browns beat the Steelers to get to 3 wins.
Leave Raiders, Giants, Titans, Jags as the remaining 2 win teams. With Ten/Jax still to play both Divisional games against each other.
Raiders still to play the Jags.
That's it for the H2H between the 2 win teams.
I'm not the biggest Sanders fan for QB, but rather the Raiders just draft him vs having to trade up to get him by flipping picks and give up 2025 2nd, 2026 first and something else given what SF gave Mia (2 extra first and a third) and Car gave Chi (extra 1st, 2 seconds, and Moore).
Don't know too much about Ward yet, but from limited readings, he's more an offscript QB so that is going to require a top notch OC to fix.

I know you talked about it being two years away but I think of how set up the team would be if Manning could be had. Throwing to Bowers, having Peyton and Eli and Brady all with an interest to help him develop in the NFL. Could set the Raiders up to be relevant for over a decade.

Wonder if the Raiders might be looking for someone.
If arch does stay at Texas for 25 and 26 to get around 28 total starts in college, he would then go for the 27 draft. Same as Riola draft as he’s a FR at Nebraska and playing well for a FR.
But if you are waiting on Arch, you need to trade Crosby. Don’t think nfl teams think 2 years down the line.
