I do hope we go after Bo Nix. This young man is very football intelligent. Great reads, aduibles and runs when needed and when not needed.
I hope we are out of the running in terms of season wins and playoff hopes. If not, then i hope we make a play for this young man.
That said, i hope AOC becomes great and gets it done so we can hit on DT/DB/OT.
Fuck them jets.

AOC doesn’t need to be elite. He needs to be good. The raiders are in a great position right now.
Let’s assume AOC is fine. You resign Jacob’s, you then either trade your pick for Oline help or Draft Oline. Maybe throw in a DB or two. You are set.
You have Elite Receivers, an Elite Running back, top tier defense (in the box atleast). AOC just has to be good enough to not lose you games. If he is, you fill the Oline holes and DB Holes in off season. Playoffs.
I think there is a decent draft class at QB. I keep seeing mock drafts of Raiders being 8th, picking JJ McCarthy out of U-M.
Then they talk about Harbaugh headed back to the NFL. I don’t know how to feel.
Of all the draft eligible QBs, Bo Nix is at best QB5. I have him ranked somewhere in the 7-10 range.
I have Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix, Jordan Travis, Shadeur Sanders, and Quinn Ewers definitively above Bo…but I can see the validity to people having Jayden Daniels, Joe Milton, and JJ McCarthy above him.
I think he’s the 2nd best QB after Caleb. I think Penix and Daniels are freak athletes but Penix is not very accurate and Daniels did nothing at ASU so I worry it’s a team/system thing. Not to mention Daniels is more of a true runner (from the limited number of LSU games I’ve watched) and they don’t tend to do well in the NFL. I haven’t watched a ton of Maye but the ACC is by far the weakest conference. I think Nix throws a good ball, is very smart and is mobile enough to run when needed/avoid pressure in the pocket.
I’d draft Bo before Caleb,
Maye, Nix, Caleb Penix in that order myself. But I also said pass on CJ Stroud because I thought for sure he’d flame out.
Honestly I feel like Bo Nix is a product of the offense and being in college football for so long. I’m not a prospect guy who knows how to read tape and dissect plays but I have a feeling he may not be a top tier choice and more of a game manager like we have had before. I’d rather shoot for the upside. Bo Nix is good don’t get me wrong but I just don’t trust it.
That describes nix,penix, and daniels.
Yup
I want maye on this team, but he’s gonna be one of the 1st 2 qbs picked. If not penix but his knees would make me hesitate tbh. Caleb has talent but his ego could be too big, and I don’t think we’ll even be that bad to get him regardless. Nix is qb4 but if we believe in AOC, why wouldn’t we believe in a guy like bo?
Bo Nix struggled against SEC defenses…transferred to the Pac 12 and is lighting up a conference that doesn’t play defense. Drake Maye is the top qb in this class IMO
Drake Maye will be the #2 pick. The Raiders will not be picking that high and I really doubt they’ll trade up.
Yeah as much as I’d like to have Maye, unless we lose out, which I dont want to happen, it will be too expensive. If we go on a run here the last 8 games and barely miss or squeeze into the playoffs I wouldn’t want to trade all that capital away when you could use it to build around what you’ve got.
While I’ll agree unless Aiden blows us away the next few weeks we should draft the best QB we can.
However Bo Nix might be well off the board before we draft.
Bears, Cardinals, patriots, giants need a Qb and will draft higher than us
Vikings, Bucs, Rams, Falcons, Packers and commies might draft ahead of us and need a QB.
In short even if fade away these last few weeks, I don’t think we sniff Bo Nix unless we start trading the farm.
Plz don’t let us be dumb enough to Carolina Panther it. Trade the farm and then wind up with the 4th or 5th best QB of the draft.
Dude is like 27 years old in his 9th year in college. No thanks
Please, do not drink this Kool Aid.
The enlightened SPENCER RATTLER TRUTHERS know to stand back and stand by. Sleepy Bo and No Way McCarthy are 2nd rate QBs and sure draft busts. Our glorious Raiders will select the best QB when he falls right to us, right out of South Carolina.
Lmao
NO to BO
“I hope we are out of the running in terms of season wins and playoff hopes”
I think that’s a typo, for the sake of your even including yourself in the “we” of raiders fan-dom
he sucked in the SEC
AOC is not the guy
