Raiders vs Seahawks

A lot of the blame can be on Jon Gruden drafting…
I think Millers and Jacob are the only first round
picks that are with the team now; everyone else
has been cut except for Ferrell who is still with the
team….not really sure what is happening with Ferrell
but he is getting a lot of playing time and he is starting
to make impact on the team….

Yup, you waste Abram, Arnette and Ruggs....both Ruggs and Arnette were out of left field, over drafted. Arnette was not even a top 5 corner in that draft. At the time Jeudy should have been the pick...if you don't like him positionally, Wirfs was still there and RT seems like a sore spot still.

Let's not forget Leatherwood either. As a Bama fan I KNEW it was a HUUUUUUUUGE mistake to draft him in the first round. He was one of our most undisciplined OL'men and you could go ahead and put down several false start penalties and holding penalties at the worst times of any close game. So add his name to the list of "over drafted" players by the previous staff.

Yup, another one. Just by going with general scouting reports....Darrisaw was next man up.....or if we went with Wirfs over Ruggs....we can look at other spots.

Did not see that live.

I think they would have given the Seahawks possession and moved it back 5 yards, since 52 came in after the pick....he came out to celebrate....then realized the play was still live.

Yeah 100% interception would have stood, I was just wondering how they blew that one

....we're the Raiders.....seriously, that official on that sideline probably had responsibility....which in this case is a rarity, basically all hell breaks loose on his, the Seattle sideline when the INT was made. He was probably watching the ball and for live ball fouls, illegal blocks etc.

Ruggs was only a bad pick because of his terrible decision to drive drunk. He was on the verge of becoming a game breaking WR. He may not have been the most polished route runner out there but he didn't have to be.

Yeah Ruggs had unbelievable speed and
I think he would have been a decent 1st
round Gruden pick…he was starting to be
a real good wr before he got arrested
