Plus how he is doing the contracts is great, not only have they gotten really good deals but everything is being front loaded, so when Mack and Carr need to get paid it won't be an issue
The only glaring weakness now to me is safety, but it sounds like they are favorites for Weddle (Bruce Irvin is already actively recruiting him)
Once we get that it means the draft suddenly turns in to strengthening by BPA regardless, not trying to fill holes

Yeah I like that he front loads the deals to make it easy to cut ties if things don't work out. I actually thought Weddle would have been one of the first guys they signed but maybe the Raiders aren't as high on him as we thought. Seems like a goo fit as he still graded out really well against the pass last season.
