Unbridled fury. That best describes the visceral anger that spread like wildfire amongst Raider Nation when Oakland selected Kolton Miller with the 15th overall pick (after a trade) in the NFL draft on Thursday night. Throughout the day, any mention of an offensive lineman when it came to the Raiders’ first-round pick was met with ridicule, …
The NFL draft is almost upon us. The spectacle begins Thursday and concludes on Saturday. A pool of prospects will be sifted through during the course of three heavily scrutinized days for Raiders fans. And guess what? Pick ‘Em: Final Raiders Mock Draft It doesn’t even end there as teams will be scrambling to sign …
Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie would make for a fine high government official. Says very little and, when he does say something, it provides minuscule substance. Now, doesn’t that sound like a prototypical G-Man? Still, McKenzie dropped a hilarious jewel during the Raiders’ pre-draft press conference last Friday about head coach Jon Gruden. “Oh …
Pop quiz: How old is Amari Cooper? With Michael Crabtree jettisoned, Cooper is atop the depth chart.

Less than two weeks away from the annual event and the prognosticating for the NFL draft will only become a stronger and maniacal whirlwind. It’s like a buffet line, really. Take your pick! One of these mock drafts is bound to appeal to you! Tis the season NFL teams send out smokescreens to cover up …
Khalil Mack absent from voluntary workouts!? “Trade him!” “Why isn’t Mack a team player” were some of the hot-take reactions on social media. The sheer lunacy. To suggest Mack be sent packing or won’t come to terms with Oakland is an absolutely asinine assertion. He’s. Going. Nowhere. “Mark (Davis) would come beat me across the …

Listen to Jon Gruden closely and long enough and one can get a taste of what his Oakland Raiders roster will look like. Or at least, what the head coach wants it to look like. Last week’s NFL owners meetings in Orlando was no different. Gruden pinpointed an issue that plagued the team since it …
