to the get to the 2nd overall pick (aka, the “Mendoza or Moore pick”), all that needs to happen is:
1. We lose out
2. Titans win this weekend
The best way for the Raiders to ensure they lock up the #1 overall pick is to keep playing Geno Smith. Hopefully they stupidly swap.him out for the KC game and can eek out that win.If the Giants beat the Raiders next week, that puts the Raiders in the driver's seat for the #1 pick heading in to week 18. Have to imagine they'll make preparations to lose that week. ie, sit Geno Smith & give some practice squad QB a look. Getting flashbacks of a few years ago when New England was in that situation, and whoever their coach was at the time (Mayo?) benched their presumptive starting QB for some practice squad guy who came in & lit it up -- I think they may have even won the game, despite their best efforts![]()
I honestly don't care where we draft at this point.. We need so much help on offense.. I don't care what we take first so long as it makes an impact...Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory today. Unbelievable.
