Josh Jacobs is overrated. The only reason he was top 10 in rushing yards is because he was 3rd in carries. Dude averaged 3.9 ypc 43rd in the league below guys like Kenyan drake, Myles Gaskin, James Conner, David Montgomery, Jerome Robinson & Melvin Gordon, just to name a few.
Jonathan Abrams is atrocious, PFF has an overall grade of 35.9 on him.
Oh and Ferrell was the 4th pick in the 1st round  .
Ruggs, Arnette and Bryan Edwards weren’t anything to brag about.
They traded their 3rd round pick Lynn Bowden Jr before he played one snap.
Gruden and Mayock have no clue what they’re doing. |
Raiders add former first-round pick LB Darron Lee

When you have a former NFL Draft guru as your GM, it’s expected that you might see a few former highly thought of prospects given a chance to return to their former glory. Today the Raiders officially added linebacker Darron Lee, making him the latest example of that.
Mike Mayock had Lee as his third best LB prospect in the 2016 draft. Lee would be drafted by the Jets with the 20th overall pick. His career did not turn out as expected and by the 2020 season, Lee was trying to find his way onto an NFL roster, spending the entire season on the Bills’ practice squad.
Lee spent the first three seasons of his career in New York. His time there ended in 2018 when he was suspended four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
He was given a second chance in 2019 with the Chiefs, but started just two games and seeing most of his time on special teams.
Along with Lee, the Raiders added veteran journeyman CB De’Vante Bausby. To make room on the roster they waived CB TJ Morrison.
