Is Cajuste Our Starting RT?

Ash: an 11Mill guy a little better than an 1Mill guy it's like watching a horror movie in every way.

Not at all. How much they are paid is irrelevant once the roster is set.

Wynn to Raiders for Leatherwood and a 3rd... who says no?

no

If you trade Wynn and move Onwenu to T, Ferentz is your starting RG.
Can’t trade Wynn.

And if you have Ferentz at your RG you will be looking at immediate pressure up the middle in EVERY game. The guy is a reasonable BACK up C, but he could never be a good solutions at a G position for more than a quarter. You only move Owenu out to RT is if you believe Hambright or Dejardins is a full time starter.

RIght now I like the way our OL is forming up. Cajuste IS having a great camp and fill the swing T slot to a tee. He is a guy we wouldn't be having a problem having in a game at either slots. A GREAT thing to have with 2 guys who have problems staying on the field. I do like having BOTH Dejardins and Hambright popping up on our radar as G's More to see over the next 2 weeks, but so far so good on these guys. And that STILL leaves us guys like Russey, Herron, and Sherman. In fact I'm hoping Russey develops into someone that let us release Ferrentz at last.

In an ideal world you'd have 8 OLmen on your 53. We will probably have 9. We have in the past carried as many as 10. I think we will have 9 on the roster and 2 on the PS.

BTW- it looks like the Raiders need for OT help is real on both sides of the ball, so Wynn COULD very well be auditioning for his next team, but so could Cajuste or Herron as well. My question is what would YOU take for Wynn knowing that the Raiders could be a little desperate right now,

If I were the Pats I wouldn't trade him at all. BUT if I was told I HAD to, I wouldn't take less than a 2nd and a player like a developmental OT or CB with a little size

Leatherwood at right guard could be a huge upgrade over onwenu.

In addition, with onwenu at right tackle and leatherwood at right guard, our run game should be much better. (If we can get strange figured out)

Leatherwood was the worst player on the Raiders last year. He would not be an upgrade over onwenu at all.

I’m not sure how Cajuste could be a guy you don’t have a problem putting on the field when he was forced out there once last year and was so bad he was banished from the field for the rest of the season.
Herron was far ahead of him last year and he wasn’t good.
I man it’s like you are throwing out a bunch of names who have never played well in the NFL and saying we have them too. To me beyond the starting 5 which I think will be a very good unit, we have nothing but hopes and everyone of them save a late round rookie have failed when given an opportunity. It’s the worst OL depth I’ve ever seen us have, on paper.

Counting on 2 of Hines, Hambright and Desjarlais to be serious contributors is long shot. Do you disagree?

I agree, that was the point I was trying to make. Moving Onwenu back to tackle maintains your depth there, but creates a hole in the middle that is unlikely to be filled with guys currently on the roster.
