But as I said in the other thread, speaking on him just as a player, I think he could be great in an offense that features him like Kubiak’s would.

Preamble considered, what do you guys think about Maxx for Pickens + 12? Take the best player available at 12, and hope Pickens becomes the best version of himself.

I would still be concerned from an attitude point of view, but he’s the kind of guy who could really make our offense great. I think he’s just scratching the surface of what he can be

Boys and Rams are potential teams to target as partners because they both have multiple 1sts, could be a way to send Maxx to a desirable destination while also ending up with a pick in the top half of the 1st

Again, he seems like he was mostly well behaved in Dallas, although I just googled him after I wrote the other post and it turns out even in Dallas he was disciplined for being late to at least one meeting.

I wish we could just have the Pickens Bot 2000 that had all of his physical attributes and none of the headaches because that’s exactly the kind of WR that would make noise in KK’s offense

Edit: found it, the "Raiders Reality Forum" was something...

Fredo Corleone and his possee of fools at rf.com want to believe in fairy tales. They think someone is just going to magically just give the Raiders a new
stadium.
