Alex Leatherwood

...Dude got waived after being drafted last year 17th overall in the 1st round.....Raiders could not even trade him for a bag of potato chips.....At least he got a 4 year guaranteed contract - $14 million.  I don't think I have ever seen a 1st round draft pick waived the very next year not counting getting into trouble with the law....Gotta be the biggest bust of all time?   Raiders draft class last 4 years..Yikes....Good thing they got Renfoe out of those draft classes.

They've done real well lately with Leatherface , that Murderer guy and Arnette 

Sometimes, you give a guy a pile of cash and he realizes he doesn't love the game anymore.  Not sure if that's the case here, but it does happen.

Fascinating name.

Leatherwood Name Meaning

English: Perhaps An Altered Form Of Leatherhead A Habitational Name From Leatherhead (Surrey) Which Probably Derives From Old English Leode ‘Folk People’ + Ride ‘Riding Place Suitable For Riding Bridle Path’ Or Alternatively A Habitational Name From Lythwood In Shropshire Which Is Named From Old English Hlith ‘Slope’ + Wudu ‘Wood’

As someone who plays Madden’s fantasy franchise mode, I have to say that the last few years (2020, 2021) he’s been a first or second round draft pick who underperforms. You draft him and then he’s a 70, which is a little subpar. But then he fails to improve, unlike the other rookies. Funny how the guys who make those draft class rosters anticipated that lol. I think I had him on 1-2 rosters in 2020 and was like “screw this guy, he’s not very good.”

He was one of those guys that was taken higher than most projected he would go.It clearly did not go well for the Raiders in this case.. They had some rough draft choices with Ruggs and Damon Arnette .. I know the Raiders declined the 5th year options of 1st round picks Jacob's and Ferrell as well.. 

Its safe to say Gruden and Mayock struggled 

I do agree they struggled. Only thing I disagree with is the Ruggs pick - I think that was a good pick, and nobody could have foreseen him doing what he did, especially when his childhood friend died in a similar way to the Ruggs crash (the friend apparently died as a passenger in a car with a careless driver, and Ruggs vowed to honor his best friend’s memory - only to go out and do the same thing years later). 

Bears claimed OT Alex Leatherwood off waivers from the Raiders.<

Reagor drafted ahead of Jefferson and nobody gets fired? My Eagles, sheesh...as long as we're talking first round busts....

Reagor played 2 years with the Eagles and was traded....No comparison to Leatherwood..
