Raiders get pick No.141
Jets get Osemele and pick No.198

This is a good trade

My bad 57 picks traded down for a guy who will start for multiple years for us

I'm a bit worried, apparently he's been on a massive health kick, lost a bunch of weight, and struggled last year.

If he can adjust and play well at a lower weight, obviously a good trade, but I'm not 100% sold.

300lbs is still a very large man. As long as he's maintaining his strength I don't really mind too much if he's playing 20lbs down from his previous weight, it probably helps reduce his risk of injury. Trai Turner and Zack Martin are both around there I think.

Did we essentially just trade down 45 slots on day 3 for a multi year starting guard? Yes we freaking did

Not really

It's more of a salary dump.

The "price" for this trade is taking on his contract and guaranteed money.

More importantly than the 5th round pick we gave up, is can he come close to playing up to his salary?

Regardless this is extremely exciting, but the real cost is the $$$

We just landed the top free agent guard before free agency has even begun.  This is fantastic.

Newsflash, in the NFL you have to pay your players
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

I also contend that a salary dump would involve paying us to take him. If we gave up a 6 and got Osemele and a 5 that would have been a straight salary dump.

Similar to the Browns “buying” Brock Osweiler from Houston a couple years back and getting a 2nd round pick for their troubles

Valid points, but the OL market was pretty weak.

Osmele is 3 years younger than Saffold, better when healthy, and I’m guessing Saffold will get a pretty big deal with equal or more AAV and more years.

If Saffold chose to go elsewhere, what was plan B for us?

He was in the 330s now he's sub-300. And he struggled last year.

Not saying he can't. Just that we're not necessarily getting top 5 G KO

In my opinion the move we made is better than Saffold would have been for us from a play perspective and will turn out to cost us probably less money to boot.

Also I believe his deal is out of monetary guarantees, which means if he doesn’t live up to expectations, we can cut him in a year for free and use the $11.7 million that would be his salary and buy his replacement.

We knew Gase neglected guards in Miami and watched it implode in his face. He’s obviously making sure that won’t be happening here with his franchise QB

Great trade.

Essentially just leaves C as a glaring hole on the line to address in FA. Probably the same AAV as Saffold and probably a better player.

He was also playing next to Kolton Miller last year instead of Donald Penn.
