With the names they passed up on, theyd be in a better spot to pick Montgomery later and make a better pick that Jacobs in the first

Nah Jacobs is straight up better and would be a monster behind even a competent run blocking offensive line. His only issue is that he gets dinged up and the Raiders have had one of the worst run blocking offensive lines in the NFL for years. Look at the offensive line rankings. Everyone thinks the Bengals have a bad offensive line but the Raiders had by far the worst of all the playoff teams.

Two different players allowed eight sacks individually, and only Miller earned a run-blocking grade better than 65.0. It’s remarkable that the Raiders made the postseason with this offensive line.
