I seriously doubt the Raiders cut or trade Leatherwood.    What they know is that he isn’t NFL caliber tackle .  Should never play there again.  He strictly should be playing at guard only.   Alex Leatherwood and JSimpson are exactly the type of guards that the new offense blocking scheme prefers .( they both move defenders off the line of scrimmage in the running game)     With Dylan parham eventually becoming the center .   ( right now starting lg)     
Right now neither Simpson or Leatherwood are projected to start on the offense line , but you need depth , and either one can easily fill in there if starter goes down.     Alex Leatherwood at guard can develop into a pro bowl caliber guard .       He isn’t even  an CFL caliber tackle.  
Hopeful they play him tomorrow all game at guard , and don’t waste anymore time trying to play him where he not cut out to play - tackle . 
 

 

 

 

Please do not make us go back and view your posts the day he was picked and every one in the league thought mayock was trying to get fired for such a moronic pick.  Own up to your initial words on this guy for once.

Well we all know some ones gonna take a chance...

Guys, I love to bust on Raideraholic as much as the next guy, but to be fair, he expressed his opinions as doubt, not certainty.  He does provide some good insight into their guys once you trim the thick coating of homerism (which is part of the fun).  In the case of Leatherwood, specifically, he was pretty objective.  Just a reminder to be nice.

All good things...

 

Nobody will claim him on waivers, either; you'd need to pick up significant guaranteed salary and you're not doing that for a guy whose team cut him a year after using a first round pick on him.

I think it was mistake to cut leatherwood and not give him honest look at playing guard .   It’s a new staff who didn’t draft him, and had no loyalty to the player .  Let’s see what leatherwood does for another team at guard. ( think can be pro bowl guard - obviously the new staff didn’t feel that way.   Also for example when they traded Trayvon Mullen for a lousy seventh round draft choice , there more to that meets the eye.      The fact is the Raiders cap space is going to be very tight next year , and they had all their cbs on one year deals.( Roc ya-sin, Anthony Averett , Trayvon Mullen,  and Darius Phillips.  ( think he could be back before week one )     At best you’re only going to be to retain two of them cb’s.  
 

when comes down to it you are going to have your hits and misses .   Who cares if you can win a championship despite missing on so many early picks in the draft.    This is the best looking Raider team in sometime , and probably way stronger than 2002 team .       Patrick Graham is a defensive genius, as he has the guys playing at a very high level .     Raiders second and third stringers put a beating on the Patriots first string offense.      
 

I don’t agree with Mack Hollins be the third Wr , I would went with Tyron Johnson .    It really doesn’t matter when you have  Devonte Adams , and Hunter Renfrow, and Te Darren Waller   .   Good luck to any defense trying to stop them.

I remember when he was over drafted badly by Mayock. 

Raiders fans right now, left with all those bad picks and now they are like we could have had Brady and Gronk?  Oh my.

Never heard of him. With that said, though...

 

1 for 1 trade with Becton?

So you think we're going to get away with low balling ?

CB vs OL.... very different... You don't draft CBs from Alabama... you draft lineman... both sides.

Even homers for other teams get more protection than cynical Jets fans here

Everyone said it was a moronic pick last year.  Now he's a free agent.  LOL.  The Raiders are buffoons as much as the Browns.  5-12 season on its way direct to you.

No Raider fan is thinking that.   The Raiders stay healthy at some key positions this is a Super bowl caliber team.     Good luck to any defense that thinks it can stop the Raiders offense . Devante Adams, Hunter Renfrow , Te Darren Waller( new contract)  - these guys get open very quick  .    .    Throw in Tyron Johnson( Mack Hollins will be the second Wr on run downs but T Billy is going to see a lot single coverage , and  once he does going to beat single coverage all game.      The Raiders RBs  will never see an eight man front , as they have very deep talented Rb group ( going to run Josh Jacobs into the ground) .  6 RBs right now are on the roster right now .   Will be five when season starts .       They have one of the best play callers in the game Josh Mcdaniels.     
Everyone knows how good the Raider offense going to be but there defense is where they are going to win the AFC West .  Patrick Graham is a defense genius - he will play 3-4 and 4-3 defense ( will be head coach somewhere next year)    See what he can do with actual talent on defense .       Graham doesn’t have to scheme up a pass rush this year .  Max Crosby, and Chandler Jones  are probably two best pass rushing duos out there .( very solid depth m Koonce, t Bowers, and C Ferrell) There Dt’s are there to stop the run and keep their Lbs clean.      Their Lb corp d Deablo -  hes going to be a superstar D Perryman ( one premier run stuffers) and Jayon Brown ( top cover Lb who will come in for Perryman) .       They have three man to man cbs Nate Hobbs - 5 round steal last year thst going to be one top Cbs in the game.( going up against D Adams every day in practice sharpens your game,   Hobbs will play everywhere outside, inside - nickel cb, and even will line up at safety .     Roc Ya- sin will be cb opposite him.     A Averett can play inside or outside .       Safety t Moehrig - is a big time Fs can play in the slot .   Jonathan Abrams - is Jamal Adams  2.0 - Graham put him in best position to succeed - do what he does best  .   d Duron will be the safety on obvious passing downs with Moehrig .       Graham it didn’t matter if first string defense or fourth all three levels of the defense was in sync .    That was with vanilla defense, can’t wait to see the real defense game plan.    Raiders kicking games is  top notch.        
Don’t be surprised if this Raider team hoisting the Lombardi trophy at the end.        See you hit big mid to late picks in the draft , it can cover for missing on the early picks in the draft.

Or you could have won two Super Bowls with Tom Brady already.
