The offensive line is bad. 

Last season one of the better lines. This season, mostly injured . . . but that is Licht?

 The QB is average.

Last season better than average.  This season injured, behind heavily injured line, new OC . . . but that is Licht?

But what is NOT on Licht is drafting Wirfs, Goedke, Mauch . .etc . .  and taking a $4 million flyer on Mayfield?

 

JC, as usual you've gone full circular firing squad. 

He went cheap on veteran swing tackle.

He should be fired immediately. 

And maybe trade Wirfs, Goedeke, Barton and Mauch just to add extra emphasis!

And while we are at it throw in Evans and Godwin and Egbuka and Irving and McMillan. . .

Give back the damn Super Bowl trophy . . no Super Bowl winning GM misses at SWING TACKLE!!!

and dammit . . can we get something for Tez?

 

F . . .. Licht! He's the REAL PROBLEM!!!

Barton should be traded in a Crosby deal, yes.

As usual you’re showing your narrow-minded way of thinking…no wonder you were fired as a GM( if you ever were really one ). Chukwuma was an undrafted free agent with limited experience playing the game, yet has a decent ceiling as he continues to learn the intricacies of the game both through coaching and Wirfs/Goedeke.  I don’t think he should be a dedicated LT, but as a swing I think he’s solid.  He had a bad game last game no doubt but it happens to every player at some point in their career.  And while he may not be a good Center yet Barton has value.  Be it at C or G.  He’ll be a solid C/G or he’ll be solid depth.  Maxx Crosby is quickly approaching that cliff he may have had a decent past few years but so did Shaq Barrett before his skills crashed like the stock market during the depression.  Yes there are pieces that need added/subtracted, but as I previously mentioned a lot of our talent is either being misused or not properly developed

You raised this the other day. It's a great point. Hard to think of a player they've really built.  I suppose they think/thought maybe McCollum but that thought may have retreated with this season.

Which Licht draft pick played better somewhere else?

Chukwuma has nothing. This is the NFL, not Make A Wish. Him playing LT in a meaningful game is an embarrassment. 

And we’re already resigned to Barton being a fringe starter and likely a future backup.

I'm a pretty big Barton hater but he might come on in his third year. We all didn't like Goedeke and Mauch (granted that learning curve came from a small school where Barton went to Duke)... But Barton could play lights out next year.

Did I like the pick? Nope. Do I think his ceiling is anything more than an average center? Yes. But that doesn't mean I can't be wrong... 

The value so far has been atrocious but I won't write him off until I see his third year.

I'd be fine with this but raiders already have a center they refuse to play at center so idk what they would do with him and JPJ.

Also Barton is still cheap contract wise so you get some major flexibility with him vs signing a center and getting Crosby.

Not opposed to it but are the raiders even interested? His grades aren't great

Why wouldn’t the Raiders be interested in a colossal bust/garbage player/waste of a roster spot?

I mean, they’ll probably demand he’s included.

I know this isn't directed at me but ftr I don't think he's a "bust". He's starting basically every game. I think he should have been graded later and since he doesn't have a true spot on the line (or as some call it, he's versatile) I'm a little perplexed why we thought he'd transition to center... 

All that said I'm holding out hope year 3 clicks for him and we get some good ROI. Im not giving up on him yet... But he's not good enough to anchor the middle like you'd hope for a first round center.

yeah geodeke was pretty pedestrian to start this career as well but would agree that next year is make or break for Barton.
