Hello fellow Raider junkies, been on this site reading everyone's off season plans. It's pretty exciting stuff probably the most looked forward to off season in quite some time. That being said I couldn't resist playing GM with my favorite team with this much money (60Milli) to play with. So here we go, Free Agents come before the Draft so I'll go in that order.
Resign: Jared Veldheer - 5yr/8m, Lamaar Houston - 5yr/7m, Rashad Jennings - 3yr/3m, C-Woodson - 1yr/2m, Pat Sims - 3yr/1.7m, Tracy Porter - 2yr/2m, Khalif Barnes - 2yr/2m
Free Agents: DE Michael Bennett - 4yr/8m, CB Sam Shields - 3yr/4m, OG Shaun Lauvao - 5yr/5m, TE Scott Chandler - 2yr/3.5m, DT Clinton McDonald - 3yr/3.5m, DE Will Smith - 1yr/2m, QB Matt Schaub - 1yr/5m
Now on to the Draft. I'll trade back with the Rams at #13. We also pick up their 2nd,3rd,5th picks. I feel the Rams do this because they feel they are close. They have a defense and use both their first round picks to start right away.
R1: Mike Evans WR - A&M
R2: Trent Murphy DE - STAN
R2: Stanley Jean Baptiste CB - NEB
R3: Jordan Zumwalt LB - UCLA
R3: Kenny Ladler FS - VAN
R4: DeAnthony Thomas RB - ORE
R5: Brandon Thomas OG - CLEM
R6: DeAndre Coleman DT - CAL
R7: Connor Shaw QB - C
Couple of quick points, this would be one heck of a draft. I could see these guys getting playing time and succeeding at doing so. If we can steal DeAnthony Thomas & his speed he would give us a true #1 Return guy.
Depth Chart:
QB: McGloin / Schaub / Shaw

Took me long enough but there you have it. After much research since I am a Raider Junkie sports nerd that would be my ideal off season for the Raiders. Tell me that's not a team you wouldn't be excited to watch. Just Win Baby!
