Silver and Black Today

Fresh off the NFL Combine, league pundits, and fans are all excited about Florida QB Anthony Richardson who was the "star" of the show last week. Hosts Scott Gulbransen and Moe Moton tell you why Raider Nation needs to use their heads and not get excited about the prospect. We tell you why and run down the rest of the combine and the free agent period coming up next week and the latest in Las Vegas Raiders news.

Former Raiders QB Derek Carr signed with the New Orleans Saints on Monday and the Seahawks gave Geno Smith his $100+M deal as the market starts to take shape. The guys walk you through it and also talk about the future of the Raiders at the position...but as long as it isn't Anthony Richardson.

Forget the talk of the Raiders taking QB Anthony Richardson in the first round of the NFL Draft says Scott and Moe. The risk is too high and the hype to fake to make him the future of the Raiders at their most important position. 

The free agent market is about to heat up but Moe believes the trade market may be more active than ever before. We'll tell you why.

We're back as Raiders news ramped up this week at the NFL Combine and back in Las Vegas. We discuss the surprise departure of executive vice president Marcel Reece and what that means for the business side of the team. Both Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler talked about the Raiders future at QB at the NFL Combine and we dissect their comments. We then close the show with the Raider Nation Mailbag including questions about Raiders draft strategy and are some players unable to be criticized because of their race?

In a surprise, this week, close Mark Davis confidant, and Raiders executive vice president Marcel Reece abruptly resigned. Moe and Scott talk about it and what it might mean for the "rebuild" of the Raiders' business organization.

Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels spoke about the team's plans at quarterback and Scott and Moe interpret what he said and didn't and how it gives us clues to what the organization may be planning.

Our weekly Raider Nation mailbag includes questions on Moe's statement Tuesday around Lamar Jackson and race plus what the Raiders will do at QB if they can't move up in the first round. And...are Moe and Scott too critical or not critical enough?

From 'Reception Perception' (subscribe here), Matt and James discuss the teams across the NFL that are searching for answers to their quarterback questions, including the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts looking at rookies while the New York Jets search for a veteran signal caller, and what direction the Raiders may turn. Tune In.

Matt Harmon and James Koh whip around the NFL and cover the position they know best: Wide receivers. Using the data from Harmon's exclusive Reception Perception charting methodology, the guys give their takes on receivers at every level of the game.

Whether it's the biggest stars in the league or new rookies bursting on the scene, you won't get better wideout information anywhere else. Along the way, they'll break down the biggest stories in the NFL and offer up a few big-picture fantasy football thoughts, as well.

Scott and Moe are back leading off with possible Las Vegas Raiders draft targets at this week's NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The guys give you a few names to watch based on the Raiders' draft position and needs. Next, we talk about former Packers front office executive Andrew Brandt's recent Sports Illustrated piece where he says yes, you can pay a QB big money and still build a roster around them. We close the show talking about Moe's potato salad preference and Lamar Jackson's possible contract and why he wouldn't fit the Raiders mold.
