00:00But from someone in a position to know, the Raiders want two first-round picks and a player
00:04for Max Crosby. Now, round one, there's a big difference between one and 32, and that becomes
00:10just kind of the baseline. And I think some teams, like if the Buccaneers would get involved,
00:14they've got the 15th overall pick. Maybe they would be able to avoid a first-round pick in
00:182027 if they're offering up pick number 15. The player involved, that becomes critical because
00:24who do the Raiders want and will the team part with that player to help get the deal done? But
00:30with that many teams interested, the Raiders are in position to kind of do what the Texans did four
00:38years ago with Deshaun Watson, where you basically reach a deal with multiple different teams and then
00:48pick one. And if you want to be charitable to the player, you reach that deal with multiple teams
00:53and then you let the player decide which team he wants to go to. And one of the arguments I've
00:59heard about trading for Max Crosby and giving up significant assets is, well, you know, his
01:03contract's very favorable to whoever gets it. Yeah, that assumes he's going to be perfectly happy with
01:09his contract when he walks through the door. When we see these trades of big-name players in their
01:15prime, they usually want a new contract on the way through the door. So that's another complication.
01:20So I think what the Raiders should do, identify three or four teams who are offering enough that
01:25the Raiders would take, and then let Max Crosby work out a deal with one of those teams, and that's
01:30the team that gets him.
