[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.

Great pick. he can play center if there is an emergency situation if James gets hurt. Can lineup at either guard spot
FO with High character & Ill intent.
❤️ u AP
I assume that’s why they announced him as a guard. The commentators even mentioned it.
Don’t play nice just to be nice. Put this kid at center. Andre shouldn’t be a starter.
Classy, Atlanta should take notes
Way to go on the staff letting James know about it instead of it being a shock.
andre james is a mid ass center
Let them compete
So he’s our new RG. Nice!
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
Love this new regime! Mcdumbass would have probably played dumb mind games.
Teach him James. Love the pick.
I’m so close, keep going.
You know damn well that Josh McFuckhead wouldn’t have done something like that.
That is how you do it. AP and Tommy T are creating a great culture.

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
JPJ sounds like a young Incognito. Hopefully he plays like a young Richie with the maturity of the Raiders version of Richie.
Bad news. James is trash.
James sucks ass though
James, Parham, Jackson-Powers is a pretty decent interior.
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.
Can Powers play both guard spots, or just right?
The anti Atlanta
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
