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.

2025 NFL Draft: Looking for a franchise QB? Time is running out for a unicorn to surface

Does not look like a good QB draft upcoming.

Consistent with how it was regarded for this upcoming draft.

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.

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