Raiders draft summary:

1st Round: potential rapist CB
2nd Round: athletic safety with low football IQ
3rd Round: ACL guy DT

I'm not feeling too good about things so far. Why couldn't we draft a solid, if unspectacular LB?

You're underselling Obi, who is going to be a very good starter for us in two years and Vanderdoes is two years from the ACL, he'll be a good to very good D-lineman. Conley is a loving stud and those rape charges are bullshit

I believe its probably more that if he agreed to take one its probably a good sign.

We're not dealing with a career criminal with weeks to prepare we're talking about a college athlete in his early twenties.

You're acting like hes guilty when there's currently no proof. Would I draft him? No but you're choosing an odd hill to die on.

The pearl clutching amongst Raider goons over the "importance" of a MLB in today's NFL is pretty hilarious.

Lol I wondered what your angle on this was going to be. I guess WE DIDN'T NEED ONE ANYWAYS is about what I expected.

My angle is that RM picked up a guy off the street last year and he played well at MLB. The Raiders spent three picks on improving the middle of the defense but because none were MLBS at pick 1 or 2 they somehow failed? Marquel Lee's tape looks good, he can shed blocks and is a big kid.

In the past the Raiders had no push up the middle, no edge pressure, and no coverage. Now we have edge pressure, theoretical coverage and no push up the middle. Maybe the former can make up for the latter? Or maybe I'm an optimistic retard

A hopefully healthy MEJ and Vanderdoes should give solid push up the middle. FWIW, here's Rotoworld's take on the Raiders draft:

Overview: Since a fire-able start to his tenure as GM, Reggie McKenzie has been on a wicked tear. The Raiders have earned consecutive B+ draft grades from Rotoworld – in hindsight, they deserved a capital A+ in 2015 – and delivered another solid haul here with four likely early contributors in Conley, Melifonwu, Vanderdoes, Lee, and an intriguing project in Sharpe at a position of need. I trust McKenzie has solid information Conley will be exonerated of the draft-week allegations against him, of course. I thought Conley had the best tape of any corner in this class, including higher-rated teammate Marshon Lattimore. It was not Lattimore whom the Buckeyes’ coaching staff left on man-coverage islands against Clemson’s Mike Williams and Penn State’s Chris Godwin. It was Conley. Ware is a player Rotoworld’s Josh Norris identified as a pre-draft sleeper. Lee was a terrific round-five value pick I expect to push for immediate snaps. Melifonwu is George Iloka 2.0, and Reggie Nelson’s eventual replacement. More often than not, the rich get richer in the NFL draft. The Raiders have established themselves amongst the rich.

DJ Hayden and Menelik Watson are, in fact, comp pick fodder just like I said they would be.

Trading a 1st and a 2nd for a 5th and a 6th was all a part of our diabolical plot. That's why we had to take a completely unremarkable corner instead of Lotulelei, and a 26 year old project tackle with our first picks.

I mean, you can be obtuse all you want. There was a comparison with Hayden/Watson and other players who were outright released. I said at least we'll get some comps in return not that it was some kind of insane great trade value. Also, Lotulelei had a great rookie year and has regressed steadily since, not exactly the retro home run/obvious pick it's made out to be.

e: to be clear, of course I'd have rather had Lotulelei but we can play that game with almost every Raiders draft pick in the 00s pre-2014.
