My theory: Ravens backed out because they realized they could get Hendrickson and keep their firsts. Seems like an incredibly bad-faith move by Eric DeCosta and Co. If Hendrickson signs with Baltimore, the league needs to have a full-fledged investigation.

The NFL is set to vote on the Raiders' Mark Davis succession plan at the end of the month during the NFL Owners meeting. Egon Durban, one of Tom Brady's guys, could be set up to eventually become the majority owner. ✍️ @leviidombroo justblogbaby.com/raiders-are-re…

Wonder when Raider Nation will get the whole story on this…

@revmikeclig It's a bold strategy, cotton

@JustBlogBaby Like running out of the back of the endzone?? 😆😆😆

Former NFL QB and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky believes that Fernando Mendoza needs to improve on going through his progressions and taking a few more risks. justblogbaby.com/dan-orlovsky-s…

@khack14 He started the majority of the 2024 campaign as well. Think Pola-Mao is talented and certainly can have a role. But the Raiders should probably still look to upgrade, or at least add competition.

@JustBlogBaby Maybe teams can upgrade by allowing players to get better. He’s only been a starter for one season.

3 free agent safeties that the Raiders should target to upgrade from Isaiah Pola-Mao. justblogbaby.com/3-free-agent-s…

The Raiders could give Maxx Crosby and the defense an even bigger lift with the addition of DT/NT DJ Reader. ✍️ @leviidombroo justblogbaby.com/raiders-could-…

Mark Davis succession plan already being discussed... Very interesting

@aturn07 @joeyrscotland Right. Wouldn't mind taking two, especially if we trade back and pick up an extra selection

@JustBlogBaby @joeyrscotland It’s loaded

@joeyrscotland Yeah, agreed. Thieneman falling to 36 would be a dream. Like Bud Clark a lot. Haulcy, EMW, Genesis, Taaffe, Wheatley, Louis Moore, Ramsey, Jakobe Thomas, VJ Payne. Really is a great group. Wouldn't mind drafting two

@JustBlogBaby Very true. Still a couple of good choices out there too. I really like the ballhawks in this draft class, best I have seen in a bit.

@joeyrscotland Completely agree, tons of great safeties in the draft. We need more than one tho, and another veteran/experienced presence in the room wouldn't hurt

@JustBlogBaby Say it with me D R A F T. There are a good amount of Safeties in this draft class that come cheaper and more long term potential

@filipsobotka Not "model" in terms of our football decisions. "Model" in how we operate as a franchise and treat people, players, etc. We operate with integrity and do things the right way, even if that hasn't translated to wins lately.

@JustBlogBaby I think that's hard to say, prior to the LV move we've been at the bottom of franchise valuations, haven't won a playoff game in over 20 years in a "winning" business.

Not even sure what this is supposed to mean or how to react. Raiders have always been a model organization.

Potential Raiders addition would prove John Spytek did not learn his lesson justblogbaby.com/potential-raid… @JustBlogBaby

@filipsobotka 100% without a doubt

@JustBlogBaby You honestly think the Raiders are model org?

@fukkinlarry @California_C00L Haha, an exception to every rule😂

@JustBlogBaby @California_C00L Idk bringing out the overhead projector doesn’t scream “don’t do people wrong” 😂

"I feel like we're going to complement each other" These dudes know he's coming😂😂

@California_C00L I don't mean "model" in the sense that we always make great moves. Obviously, we haven't done that in quite some time. "Model" means we operate with integrity and don't do people wrong, etc.

@JustBlogBaby "Always"? Those last few years with Al, he was handing out out bad contracts like lollipops. JS

The Raiders have enjoyed an undeniably strong offseason. But their moves clearly aren't enough to move the needle when it comes to their win total projection. ✍️ @leviidombroo justblogbaby.com/raiders-offsea…

Every mock draft has Fernando Mendoza going at 1.01. But after that, it's anyone's guess as to who the Raiders will take in Rounds 2 or 3. Here's the latest crop of mock drafts👇👇👇 ✍️ @leviidombroo justblogbaby.com/raiders-are-al…
