The Raiders have terrible luck with Drafted Quarterbacks it's like a curse.
The fact Brady was at the game guaranteed Mendoza will be a Raider❤
Draft Mendoza let a veteran play first and after half a season or a season play him then
JPJ will be refined and ready to rock at center. henProvided a bunch of stability , and I helped the team all can work together well because I know they have the talent to make it happen.
JPJ JEANTY BOWERS ?!! THAT REAL.N LY COULD BE THE START OF A SOLID OFFENSE FOR YEARS TO COME.
He is Tim Tebow who can pass the ball basically.
They drafted Mendoza and then they don’t draft an offensive line
They’ll get him sacked so many times he’ll go on the injured reserve for the rest of the year
Prime example
When the Houston Texans drafted David Carr
And they had no offense on it
Where did he spend most of his time on the ground?
Look what happened to RG three when they didn’t have an offensive line
Look at what happened when they drafted Andrew luck he only lasted a few years
You don’t draft an offense line and you have a primo quarterback to protect. He’s going to get sacked and injured.
And the Raiders have way too many holes to fill to draft a quarterback they need to trade this pic
If the Baltimore Ravens can win a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer and an awesome defense
Then they don’t need Mendoza
They can get somebody that’s average
Raiders are dumb enough to trade away there 1st round pick.
When a team does a coaching carousel as lkng as the raiders have how do u expect them to succeed?? No team would. Shoulda kept bissachia who took them to the playoffs but no u let him go and thats when the problems started.
The raiders will draft Mendoza but they must get him o-line!!!
He’s Tim Tebow 🗑️
Mendoza seems like he won't translate to the nfl
Mel the masterbaiter
The NFL will Tebow him. They are anti Christian.
Get…Mendoza.
As a Raider fan it’s definitely Mendoza but you better start building up a o-line, Bain Downs not top 5 come on another rb in the top 10 come on Mel
I would try to get a 1st round pick and a good young receiver for Crosby. That's the move. Bowers is already great Hopefully Jeanty pans out. Get a good receiver like DJ Moore for Mendoza right away and use other 1st round pick on offensive tackle
Dear Raiders,
PLEASE take Mendoza.
PLEASE hire an offensive minded HC.
PLEASE fire Brennan Carroll, put JPJ at center and fix the line.
Thinking about mendoza with jeanty and bowers and a rebuild offensive line through free agency and later rounds of draft will make us a sleeper team next year 👻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👽
This Kid is NOT an NFL QB.
To small, his heart isnt at this level.
He is going to take a beating and be gone in 2 seasons.
Book mark this comment
Trade it to Dallas for dak please
ND president is about to sue for not making Love the #1 pick and you will have sign a memorandum of understanding 😂
Cheifs need a wide receiver 😢
Don't do it Tom. Lamar is playing scared. He's used to losing and Raiders will give him cover to play and of course lose big games and have the excuse the team isn't complete yet. If he really wants to be a champ, and no more excuses, here's his chance at Baltimore. Win with Mendoza.
Poor kid and who will be his coach for 1 year…
Not a fan of either team but everyone focused on Raiders and not talking about Heisman finalist Jeremiyah Love to the Chiefs. Are you kidding me?
Mendoza to the colts, make it happen Mendo
Raiders this QB has fallen on your lap get him
Another failed pick if they take him. Guy is system QB. Take away the portol and Indy would have been 8-4 at best.
Kiper defending Shadeur will never get old
Steelers fan here we need a head coach,offensive coordinator,defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator & a franchise starting quarterback.
🤣🖤💛
ty simpson a reach at 16
Any clown who says to trade back, just reassess your football knowledge.
LA RAIDER ROBOT RNFL 🤖💀🏈 jentry 2 , Maxx Crosby , Brock Bowers , Mendoza they are Raiders like Oakland Raiders And of the old Raiders that bleeds 🩸 🩸 🩸 and keep going🎉🎉🎉
This shouldn’t even be a discussion. Anyone who might suggest that the Raiders won’t or shouldn’t draft Mendoza is a true moron. Mendoza will 1000 % be a Raider on the evening of April 23rd. ☠️🏈
Raiders dont do it remember JaMarcys Russel?????
After this many years folks, stop with this Mel Kiper stuff, what he says isn't going to happen, and never really has.
Funny how Mel Krapper said Moore would be #1. WTH???
Big mistake eyeing Mendoza as the raiders #1 pick! MARK MY WORDS, and this comment. He’s a backup at best.
