There are moments where you can pretty accurately know your odds of winning a hand, and if you’re getting 8-1 on a 3-1 you should take it.

Shall see.

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.

It's not a risk if you preemptively know it's going to work out.

Last I checked, there are no future predicters on this planet.

That's exactly how I feel about it. He hasn't played a down of any kind since 2025 and his injury is serious and can linger. The idea that we know something every other team in the league doesn't sounds like some Gruden-level Smartest Guy in the Room shit.

As far as Kubiak saying he looks great, that's fine. But is he gonna come up to the mic and say, "Well, I think we really f[raiders_icon]cked this one up. The guy runs like a pirate with a wooden leg."?

One thing is certain though; we will find out.

Nobody outsmarted anybody. Somebody was going to take McCoy. For whatever reason The Raiders felt, more then likely, it would happen in the 4th round so they made their pick. I would think the team doctors signed off on the pick.

Buddy of mine is a die hard Chargers fan and he was very pissed off when the Chargers passed on Jermod in the 3rd round and then almost smashed his TV when the Raiders got him in the 4th.

I dont know about that. The Raiders traded up 1 spot in the 4th. If a team realllllyyyy wanted McCoy and the Bills were obviously open to trading, you would think they could of gotten a better offer from a team further down. To me, nobody was taking him any time soon. My opinion.
