While I want a big signing or two, the most Raider thing I've ever seen is giving Wilkins $85 million guaranteed for one above average pass rushing season after having four very average years.We're going to be so lit in 2040...nobody will see it coming!
Using FA to bring in scrubs and wishcasting the draft is an incredible self preservation move by Monti, credit where credit is due.
Yes.Jags moving on from Ridley?

Hilarious. The guy you pimped for the past six months is automatically overpaid and overrated because he got a market-value contract.While I want a big signing or two, the most Raider thing I've ever seen is giving Wilkins $85 million guaranteed for one above average pass rushing season after having four very average years.
No doubt - I'm not advocating for Wilkins per se, I'm saying we're going to need to explore other options outside of just the draft to acquire above average starters. We need a lot of them to be competitive!While I want a big signing or two, the most Raider thing I've ever seen is giving Wilkins $85 million guaranteed for one above average pass rushing season after having four very average years.
$85 million guaranteed is the problem.Hilarious. The guy you pimped for the past six months is automatically overpaid and overrated because he got a market-value contract.
Absolute classic of the genre.
Gotta keep that powder dry!Guys - we got our Colon. What else do you want?!?
Building up the underbelly of the team is part of the 15 year plan to competitiveness. Gotta play the long game boys!
And my thinking had shifted, and it was partially based on your comments that you could sign a couple Sheldon Rankins and should go after edge instead.Hilarious. The guy you pimped for the past six months is automatically overpaid and overrated because he got a market-value contract.

Did he not see the pivotal LJ Collier signing? Or the fact we're pursuing Ledbetter again? Some people are so ungrateful!xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Maybe even two weeks. Monti said we would do almost nothing in free agency and I have to believe him. We will sign a few guys but it won't be anyone of note.I predict, we sign nobody these first two days.

WHOWhile it's fun to bang on the Cards organization for still feeling like free agency doesn't open until Wednesday, I do think it's fair to argue that the idea when building your roster is to get above-average starters exclusively through the draft. Get them cost-controlled and the kind of football character you want.
When you're on the edge of competing for the playoffs or the super bowl, distort your payroll to keep your window open/widen your window.
Monti is putting a lot of eggs in the basket that PJJ, Ojulari, Garrett Wilson, Michael Wilson, and one of the other draft picks and three or four 2024 draft picks become one or two superstars plus the rest above-average starters.
If not, he's going to be on the hot seat come 2026 and we'll be in the purgatory that @DVontel often talks about.
As you mention, that's putting a lot of eggs in the basket of PJJ/Ojulari/Garrett (Williams)/Michael Wilson. PJJ looked like an average starter at a non-premium position, and there is noise they'll keep him at RT, which would be a huge fail as a top 10 pick. Ojulari/Williams were ok, and Wilson flashed but also didn't get rid of the notion that his health will be a constant issue. If these guys are our "stars" of the future, I'm worried.While it's fun to bang on the Cards organization for still feeling like free agency doesn't open until Wednesday, I do think it's fair to argue that the idea when building your roster is to get above-average starters exclusively through the draft.

Targeted one time is roasted? WHAT?Sorry. Garrett Williams.
Bruh. People were extremely excited about this guy because he got an INT in his first game and that anchored his QB rating against last year (an exceptional 79.6).
But when you go game-by-game it's about as meh as you can get:

Current CB1 got roasted by Desmond Ridder but still.
Yeah but that target resulted in two yards. We can’t have that.Targeted one time is roasted? WHAT?
Ya turribleYeah but that target resulted in two yards. We can’t have that.

I think you have to explore trades/FA to see what you actually have - surrounding young guys with a bunch of scrubs also distorts perspective as well. Completely sitting out FA in 2022 was a choice - hopefully it's not more of the same this offseason.
I think Williams will be fine. He gave up 18 yards a game and was targeted an average of 3 times a game on 40 snaps a game.Sorry. Garrett Williams.
