And I mean, if we look at what he got:
Quote:
Net for the 3 major Raiders trades.
Raiders give up:
Khalil Mack
Amari Cooper
2019 3rd round
2019 5th round
2020 2nd round
2020 6th round
In exchange for:
Antonio Brown
2019 1st round
2019 1st round
2020 1st round
2020 2nd round
2020 5th round

He's already managed to turn Amari Cooper into Antonio Brown
If he turns Khalil Mack into Quinnen Williams and Montez Sweat, then it's possible he's upgraded there too.
And he'd still be sitting on a SLEW of draft picks from there.
Now, yes, I will agree that it's entirely possible that he still manages to fuck it up. But right now, it looks like there could be a method to his madness.
