*Davante Adams Days* With the Las Vegas Raiders ARE NUMBERED

If anybody's questioning, where's the Raider gear? Okay, guys, I'm worried. I just got to be honest with you. There's something keeping me up at night. I mean, the Raiders keep me up at night a lot, but this thing is a thing that's really been, it's been racking my brain for a while. Should we consider drafting a wide receiver with the 13th pick or in the second round? Because Davante Adams, he's not going to be around forever. And we know all too well, shout out to T-Swift, what it's like to not have a number one wideout it stinks and sans Amari Cooper we haven't really been able to draft a good one Henry Ruggs you know notwithstanding we know what happened seemed like he was turning into something decent and with our current draft position it doesn't seem like we're going to get a quarterback so if we draft one next year or if we hope that Aiden takes the next step. It needs to happen pretty fast for us to get any usable prime years left out of Devontae Adams. Look, I'm not putting him in a body bag already. He's not that old. But three years from now, what's more likely? Aiden O'Connell is at a level good enough to have been able to use Devontae Adams in games that could win you a Super Bowl? Or Aiden turns out to not be that guy. neither does Minshew we're kind of in this weird quarterback limbo again and Davante puts up good numbers but we've wasted him in games that don't really matter and the reason I'm saying this is not because I lack confidence in AOC or because I don't know Minshew could become Rich Gannon 2.0 right I say it because I think we really need to consider looking for his replacement right now so he could mentor him, by the time Davante leaves, whoever the kid is that we take can step into his shoes. And by then, Aiden or Gardner, whoever we draft, will be ready to take the reins. Because you have to think next year, Davante will be as good as he can be. The year after that, he'll be as good as he can be. That third year, and I know I'm looking into the horizon here, but that's what Tom Telesco is doing, dude. If you're managing the salary cap and you're willing to deal and we got to sign this guy, we got to tender this guy, we got to franchise this guy. You're looking years down the road. That's part of your job. I don't know if Davante is going to be able to produce the way he's been able to produce, getting paid so much money in the back end of his deal to be worth keeping around. Now, I'm not saying we should be looking to trade Davante Adams because I'm anti-tank and I'm anti-sell now to win later. I don't know if I'm going to be alive tomorrow, so I want to win every game that I can right now while I'm watching them. and winning the Bronco game at the end of the year was much more worth it to me than getting the 11th pick in the draft or whatever. Okay, Pro Bowlers are drafted in the sixth round, seventh round, Mr. Irrelevant. If you can't find a good guy at 13, you needed the 11th pick, get out of here. We're not losing games on purpose. My point is, and I'm pro-keeping Devontae if we trade up for a quarterback. Listen, I'm pro-keeping Davante no matter what. I'm just weighing out all the options. And right now, you know, if you draft a Jayden Daniels or a J.J. McCarthy or you find a way to get one of these quarterbacks right you need weapons for them to throw to because they need to build confidence say what you want about Justin Fields he had nothing to work with in Chicago until DJ Moore got there so how is he supposed to develop at all Patrick Mahomes stepped into a situation with the best offensive play caller in the history of the National Football League the best tight end in the history of National Football League and when it's all said and done probably a top 10 wide receiver in the history of the National Football League and Kareem Hunt who was pretty damn good so my point is if we have a rookie or we're trying to develop Aiden then you keep Davante on because they need to have the best available weapons to develop mentally and to gain more confidence, which I think Aiden showed that he did throughout the season. I'm just worried that we're going to waste Davante while we don't have a quarterback, and we could blame all of that on Josh McDaniels because say what you want about Derek Carr, Davante was producing at an elite level with Derek. I might have the solution to this because I don't think Harrison, Neighbors, or Doomsday is going to fall to us. I don't see us trading up for them. I don't see us drafting them at all. And there was a report that came out today that we're going to draft a cornerback or an offensive tackle. Those are our two focuses, and I'm totally fine with that. Those are areas of need, and those are areas that you need to have a cornerstone. You need to have a cornerstone corner, a cornerstone corner, a cornerstone tackle, a cornerstone end, defensive end, and a cornerstone wide receiver. And obviously, the quarterback is a cornerback. What if the replacement for Davante Adams, and by replacement, and I don't just mean wide receiver. I mean focal point of the offense, game changer, blah, blah, blah. What if that guy's Brock Bowers? Would you consider drafting Brock Bowers and becoming a team like the Kansas City Chiefs who has a speed burner on the outside like, I don't know, Trey Tucker, who seems to be getting wide open in these National Football League games. He just has a hard time grabbing the football as soon as it touches his hands. A little bobble action from Trey Tucker. You build it around Trey Tucker and the new George Kittle, Travis Kelsey, Darren Waller, and his name is Brock Bowers if he falls to 13 that will easily without question in my mind be the best available prospect to draft a surefire Pro Bowl type player the only reason he would fall to 15 is because there's a run on quarterbacks and a run on offensive tackles and wide receivers and people are scared that Kyle Pitts didn't do so well so well we can't draft another SEC tight end in the top six, right? Wrong. That's not how you make your name as a GM. You make your name as a GM by picking the guys who become Hall of Famers. And Davante will have a green jacket one day. Green? Are they green? I'm watching the Masters. They're gold. We could shape our new offense around Zamir White, Brock Bowers, and Trey Tucker. That's something to build upon with Davante still here and then by the time Davante leaves Brock Bowers is the best tight end in the league unguardable Travis Kelsey-esque and then you look for complimentary wide receivers to put around him maybe you trade for a Brandon Aiyuk in 2025 using a pick you got when you traded Davante Adams and all of a sudden you've got Aiyuk Bowers Trey Tucker did I just sneaky come up with a really good plan on the spot i don't know guys it's just options to consider is this video a product of there not being a lot to talk about sure but i think it's an interesting enough one to make a video about and i'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter person who watched this video comment below let me know your thoughts check out the patreon patreon.com slash all aboard raiders you can support the channel a little bit more you get ad free content early access to videos name at the end of the credits discord access the whole nine yards why is it called the whole nine yards you need ten for first down if you can't check out the patreon you don't want to you don't have the means that's okay you're doing just enough by watching me clicking the likes the dislikes whatever commenting and subscribing we're trying to get to 6 000 please be sure to subscribe but it's free after all no charge to you i love you guys hit the mic and i'll see you next time
