I seriously doubt it would only take one #1 or one #2.
Marathe and Lynch will low ball the hell out of the Raiders though and if they can't get the deal they want they'll walk. Ended up getting JG that way last season. We'll see.

a second string QB with very little experience is a touch different situation than a 2-time probowler and only person to be elected to probowl at 2 positions in the same season.

for your track bikeDid you see it? He's celebrating then like a goal line running hole lineman comes over and bumps/congrats him and he did a Friday "you got knocked the fuck out" spin fly move in the air lolol

That’s not what I’m saying. I don’t really know what he’s worth. I do know the 9er FO doesn’t just toss money and value around like holy water offering up prayers and hope that my team will win another soup or boule. They will low ball and walk if the Raiders don’t take it. They have their plans. If this works out then that bit of the plan is in place. If not there are other options and the Raiders can deal with a disgruntled defensive superstar.

Nah, Bro. That is legit. The drop a boat load on dude with real short notice. They easily could have franchised him and gotten a full season before that deal went down.
We still have yet to see if Grapp is actually worth a shit. Mid season QB changes often result in surprise wins as DC's adjust to a different guy with little tape to study.
I think he is probably real and the gamble won't be a fail, but it was still a gamble.
It's a gamble with out clauses in it. It's basically a 3 year deal paying him while they have a fuckton of cap room, and then 2 more years where they can get back a ton of his cap hit if they need to cut him.
It's not like it's the Brock Osweiler deal.

Sure, not saying it was rotten, but those 3 years do pose some risk. The team was completely in the dumpster, the new stadium is a running joke about heat death, they have abandoned their namesake City in all but name, the revenue stream was suffering. They needed to make a splash deal to say the NEW SAVIOR was here. It makes marketing sense, and wasn't necessarily a bad gamble.
I'm just saying that the Front office is probably not one that you can fairly say is averse to spending on talent after a deal like that.
I’m not arguing they are averse to spending money. I’m arguing they are doing so while covering their own asses as much as possible - they are factoring in the intangibles in NFL career longevity and practice vs play productivity. And they’re doing it with a high level of success which shows that they are not going to just splurge without factoring in and balancing the risk. Not every team does this well. Marathe does.

I think it's a good gamble. Not a frugal gamble, but a good one.

NOT every team, But Redskins be so good? You say Miami ain't killin' this free agent game?
Okay. Now we are somewhat on he same page. I don’t think Marathe/Lynch are going to sacrifice a 1 or 2 for a defender at this point in the build. If the team were solid on offense and everything were clicking along smoothly and a defender came up who had the right fit to fill a nagging hole I could see it happening. As it is now it’s just not worth the risk. The team needs the value in a future pick more than an all-pro defender at this point.
If I can see this as a barely knowledgeable fan I’m sure it’s a huge flag for Marathe/Lynch.

I disagree.
Pass rush is literally the biggest hole on defense. If you can give up a 2nd round pick to get one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, you do it, ESPECIALLY when you can actually afford to pay him.
That being said, I doubt he gets dealt anyway, but 27 year old elite pass rushers don't become available very often.

Rolls with it...
Belichick's deal with Satan must be due to expire soon, the Patriots lost their 2018 first round pick (Isiah Wynn) for the year with a torn Achilles....
