With the team holding four of the first 35 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, it is likely that some of the weak points on the defense will be addressed with top prospects, which makes it no surprise that reports have emerged the Raiders are to host one of the top linebackers available in the draft. Devin Bush is an off ball linebacker from the University of Michigan who is still very young, as he will not turn 21 until the middle of July this summer, however, he has already amassed quite an impressive list of accolades. These include winning both the Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year award, the Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year, First Team All-Big Ten and was a Consensus All-American. In short, he’s really good, and would be a welcome addition to a defensive unit that allowed the third most rushing yards in the NFL during the 2018 season. Athletically, he is not dissimilar from some of the top linebackers in the league, such as Bobby Wagner of the Seattle Seahawks and Luke Kuechly of the Carolina Panthers, as is seen in a comparison of the athletic profiles of these three.

Interestingly, many rankings and mock drafts have Bush being selected later than the Raiders first pick at 1.4, but well before the team’s later picks at 1.24 and 1.27. Thus Bo Jackson Jersey White , if the team truly has an interest in selecting Bush, it would not be a surprise to see a trade down from the fourth spot to the tenth or twelfth spot in order to add more picks to the arsenal while also saving some money. That last part may be a key component to any trade down because until such a time as the Raiders complete the relocation into the new stadium in Las Vegas, they will remain one of the most cash strapped teams in the NFL. That is a key piece to keep in mind because the player selected with the fourth overall selection gets a fully guaranteed $31.36M contract, while the player selected tenth gets $18.87M. That represents the opportunity for the team to save twelve and a half million dollars in cash flow simply by trading down a half dozen spots, and which would also present the opportunity for the team to add to its Day 2 and Day 3 arsenal of picks. The specific talents and skills Bush brings to the table have been discussed here at Silver and Black Pride in multiple posts in recent months. Specifically, BD Williams noted back in February that Bush is considered the strongest linebacker available in the draft and again in March inlisting three potential impact linebackers that the Raiders could look at early.Evan Groat also mentioned Bush in March after his standout performance at the combine, a performance that got him named when Levi Damien put together the 2019 NFL Al Davis Memorial All-combine freak team: Defense.So, to summarize, Bush is a highly impactful player who would fill a position of need and could be available at a point in the draft that would allow the team to trade down and add more picks. Thus, drafting Bush represents an opportunity for the team to do far more than simply address one of the team’s needs, which makes it only logical that the Raiders are reportedly set to have him in for a visit.

COO, Don Webb, announced at Thursday’s stadium authority board meeting that the Raiders are in the final stages of a comprehensive transportation plan that will add a significant amount of parking to the stadium, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.“We’ve been actively acquiring real estate near the stadium, which we intend to develop and devote to parking,” Webb said. “One such current acquisition will more than double the parking that we currently control.”There are only 2 https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey ,725 parking spots at the stadium itself, but the Raiders have designated nearly 12,000 additional parking spots at other areas in the stadium vicinity. The newly purchased land would, according to Webb, more than double the parking, which should bring on-site parking spaces to nearly 6,000. The county requires at least 16,250 parking spaces dedicated to the stadium for this project, and the new additions will help the stadium exceed that requirement.Some 40% of gameday attendees will be from outside of the Las Vegas area, and the Raiders have plenty of ideas on how to get people from place to place, including a pedestrian bridge and, in the future, an underground people mover brought to you by billionaire playboy philanthropist nerd Elon Musk. The Raiders are also developing partnerships with companies surrounding the stadium (read: casinos) to set up a parking cooperative, and are also looking to lease additional parking areas as well.Parking has always been a major concern since the Las Vegas move was announced, because a lot of the land surrounding the stadium is either casinos or entirely undeveloped. Tailgating is a huge part of the Raider Nation experience and without any additional parking, fans may have had to tailgate in a casino parking lot and then walk a considerable distance to the stadium itself. With the new real estate acquisitions, Raider Nation may be able to enjoy tailgating experiences more like what they are accustomed to in Oakland, before they head inside the palatial $1.8 billion stadium.
