[Rapoport] Before the #Raiders selected Jackson Powers-Johnson, who played center in college, at No. 44, they contacted current center Andre James to let him know — and to tell him that James was their center. A nice touch by LV.

  1. Great pick. he can play center if there is an emergency situation if James gets hurt. Can lineup at either guard spot

  2. I assume that’s why they announced him as a guard. The commentators even mentioned it.

  3. Don’t play nice just to be nice. Put this kid at center. Andre shouldn’t be a starter.

  4. I never played OL, but my dad was an OL coach and used to say if both your guards can play center, chances are you got a good OL

  5. You know damn well that Josh McFuckhead wouldn’t have done something like that.

  6. Unless James gets a lot better then he is going to get replaced. Way too many times did we have a rusher coming up the middle, James unengaged and the guy runs right by him. Seems like a solid pick

  7. JPJ sounds like a young Incognito. Hopefully he plays like a young Richie with the maturity of the Raiders version of Richie.

  8. The Falcons also called Kirk Cousins before selecting Penix, I hear.

    The courtesy to shoot a man face-to-face, rather than in the back. You’re no less dead, but at least you had some dignity.

    But no, I’m sure he’ll end up at guard or something. JPJ, I mean.

  9. Powers-Johnson is a fucking great addition!!!!! LFG! Oregon fan here. Dudes a beast and will be a perfect fit not only on the line but also locker room
