The pick was a no brainer. When you suck & it's day 3 of the draft, swing for the fences

Yep.
Plus with a 4th round pick if we get 3 to 4 seasons of starter caliber football out of him it will be worth it.

It's not about outsmarting and more risk tolerance. He was going to get drafted by a team and it was only a matter of when.
THIS ^^^ Glad there are those who get it !

it was a no brainer pick...pretty sure the raiders caught wind of somebody trying to trade up to grab teh kid and it forced us to move up a space
supreme talent at a PREMIUM position is well worth the risk

I wouldn't call it a no-brainer pick. It was a no-brainer to pick him at some point in the draft - it's a carefully calculated risk when deciding how high to pick him. In the end, the Raiders chose to draft him higher than any other team and only time will tell whether that pays off. I like the selection...... but I also don't know or understand all the medical facts. Even the teams with all the info don't know anything for sure.

raiders seem to have a good grasp of his condition, wouldn't be surprised if the raiders were one of the teams leaking stuff to the news to push him lower in the draft
anyway im happy with the pick and see him as a huge get for our future

No brainer pick LMAO. If he never plays a down in the NFL, would it still be a no brainer pick? Raider-homerism at its finest smh.

It was a calculated gamble. But definitely worth the risk

We'll talk when hes done fielding punts and kick offs at practice.
From the locked on Raiders podcast Qs report was that McCoy was on the field covering WR and that his game was as good as advertised. He said he was mirroring his assignment in coverage, the report was very positive.

Unfortunately, we won't know if it was worth the risk until he steps on the football field for regular season games. Then, he actually has to perform.

Wrong. The risk is there yes. But worth the risk also yes because of the talent level he has. We've pissed away higher draft picks on more risky players. Including a first on a guy whose heart basically exploded. If there was no risk he wouldn't have been there when we picked in the second. So yes. Worth the risk in my opinion

No, not WRONG. What good is talent if he cant step on the f[raiders_icon]cking field? Thats my point.
Not to mention, if that happens, he will be forever compared to the guys that were drafted after him and made an impact. Yes its a gamble that COULD payoff. But you can't, with a straight face, preemptively say it was worth the risk.

Historical studies indicate that roughly 8% to 16% of fourth-rounders develop into high-quality, long-term starters
So yes. Worth the risk

If they concluded that the reward is a good starter then they can absolutely say that it is worth the risk of a 4th round pick. Whether it fails or succeeds isn’t really the pint because nobody can possibly know that when the decision is made. It’s like calling a bet in poker when you only have a 1 in 4 chance of winning while you’re getting 8-1 odds to make that call. Losing the hand doesn’t mean it was wrong to call.
