The Oakland Raiders are concerned with their 2nd round draft pick from last season, Menelik Watson. They are not sure if he has what it takes to make it in this league (CSN Bay Area). He has only played in one season, but there is already concern among the coaching staff. Can’t they give him some time to learn and develop?
Watson has barely practiced with the team and has not seen the field much. Their draft from the 2013 offseason is not looking too great at the moment. 1st round draft pick D.J. Hayden didn’t do much in his first season in the league. Watson is getting talked about as a bust already. They released their 4th round draft pick Tyler Wilson. Who is making these selections again?
If the Raiders want to get out of the cellar, they need to get playmakers out of the draft. They need to get people who can contribute out of the draft. Missing on all your draft picks should get a general manager fired. Having that many missed picks will just have the team sitting in the basement of the league for years to come. The Raiders have a high draft pick coming up, they better make the right move.
