I think I have a feeling on where, where you might have some, some points of contention.

I think in the mock draft, I said it's a fait accompli, right?

I think that it's probably been clear really since like October, November-ish of the college football regular season in 2025 that he was going to end up being the number one overall pick.

And I think that you should be fine with it if you're a Raiders fan, right?

Like, I think honestly, if there's really the biggest question to have is A, I would say the biggest two questions to have is A, what's his ceiling?

And B, do they try to bring in a veteran free agent that can maybe hold down the fort

if they genuinely believe that he needs some time to learn the offense between when he's drafted and when we ultimately see him on the field.

But I think in terms of skill set, he checks all the boxes, right?

Like the player that I will comp him most favorably to is probably Kirk Cousins, right?

I think there's some irony there because I think that there were some rumblings right before free agency started that Las Vegas might be kind of kicking the tires on whether or not Cousins was interested in coming over.

And I think a player like that, if that was his backup, would be the best overall kind of outcome.

I would say that to answer the latter of my own questions first.

And as far as a former goes, I think that you're probably looking at a ceiling of something like Jared Goff.

At his best, can probably get you 35 or so touchdowns, especially in a well-schemed up offense.

But you know you're going to have certain limits.

He's not the most mobile guy.

He's not going to blow you away with arm talent.

He's not going to be a dynamic athlete in the pocket either.

So you're not getting...

a Joe Burrow type of pocket passer.
