JAB (Jerry, Al, Bill) Could Make the Big Move

The more I think about this offseason, the more I wouldn't be shocked if we moved up to get Chris Long. I am not usually one to make up possible trades, but if ever one made sense, this one does. Per NFL.com's Adam Stiffler, the Raiders still want to make a big move.

Here is something I could see happening.

The big three know each other well (Parcells, Jones, Davis)

Raiders trade: #4 Pick, Fabian Washington, Turd Sands
Miami trade: #1
Dallas trade: Both first round picks and a 4th.

Raiders receive: #1(Chris Long), Cowboys 4th rounder
Dallas receive: #4 (McFadden), Turd (NT in the 3-4)
Miami receive: Two first rounders, Washington

There may be some other parts, but that would be the base of the deal.

Not only does JAB know each other well (and thus talk to each other), but the deal makes sense for all parties. Also, because they know each other well, it is easy for the three teams to keep it a secret. The trade might not go down until after McFadden falls to #4 to ensure the Cowboys get the guy they want.

The Cowboys need a NT, Turd is a good fit. They want McFadden to spell Barber and they get him at #4 (I don't believe there is much of a threat from the #2 or #3 spots unless the Jets try to move up, which I doubt as well. The Cowboys also don't want to give up a ton to get McFadden and they get a deal here that is sensible enough.

Raiders want Chris Long, and although we would have to bite the bullet for another #1, Al Davis is just crazy enough to do it and hasn't been shy about the $ this offseason. Plus we get another pick and the legacy Al Davis loves to market.

The Dolphins don't want the #1, they have too many needs to fill. By trading out and getting two firsts and Washington, they get three starters where they normally only would have gotten one. Maybe another pick is involved here as well.

This is hypothetical and a 2nd day draft pick could be added or taken away here and there or some reserve players (Especially from Dallas to Miami). The point is the McFadden to Dallas, Chris Long to Oakland, Miami more picks makes a lot of sense.

Like I said, I am not usually one to post these types of hypothetical draft trades, but considering the three know each other so well and that it accomplishes what each team so desperately wants.

You never know, I might just be called a genius IF it does happen.

Oakland Raiders Swing for the Fences in 2016 NFL Draft

[embed align="center"]http://gty.im/153039819[/embed] These aren't your daddy's Oakland Raiders or even your younger self's Raiders. If anything, these are your newborn's Raiders or your puppy's Raiders. These are the Raiders we've never seen before. Indicative of the freshness of the franchise was their 2016 NFL Draft. No longer slave to a high draft pick and desperate needs, the theme of the draft for the Raiders was upside. It's as if general manager Reggie McKenzie got so used to hitting his draft picks out of the park that he started swinging for the fences. We'll have to wait a couple of years before we know if he struck out or if he'll continue his Ruthian ways. First, McKenzie boldly went with a safety at No. 14 overall. Kyle Joseph is coming off a torn ACL and fills a major need, but safety isn't a premium position. Only a handful of safeties have been drafted in the first 14 picks in the last 15 years and include names like Ea

2012 NFL Strength of Schedule

  Disclaimer Some strength of schedule models calculate strength of schedule based on the opponents the team has faced to date.  My model calculates strength of schedule based on all the opponents on a team's schedule.  The reason for this is because it reduces weekly fluctuations. For example, when a team plays their Week 17 game, in the traditional model their strength of schedule would change by 31 games...their Week 17 opponent's 16 games plus the additional game played by each of their prior 15 opponents.  In my model, when a team plays their Week 17 game their strength of schedule will only change by 15 games...one additional game for each of the opponents on their schedule.

The Raiders aren't who we thought they were....they're better

The Oakland Raiders are tired of being the team that will be good in a year or two. The team expects to win now and it is winning now. We thought the Raiders needed more talent. We thought that being in the playoff hunt was a year away for this team, but we were wrong. This isn't the team we thought they were, they're better. On Sunday, they moved to 3-3 on Sunday with a 37-29 win over the San Diego Chargers that wasn't close until the final minute. It was also the Raiders second road win of the season. The last time the Raiders had two road wins by their sixth game was 2011. Before that, a five-year streak from 1998-2002. The Raiders went 8-8 in 1998, 1999 and 2011 and narrowly missed the playoffs each year.  They made the playoffs in 2000, 2001 and 2002. They didn't have a losing record in any of those seasons because teams that can win on the road are usually pretty good. As the season matures, there is more and more evidence that some of the "best-case scenario
