Seymour has been productive in his 2 years here... He has A LOT left in tha tank.. your not a raider fan so you wouldnt understand unless you really follow this team.. He's been a leader on this team and has def help bring winning culture back.. And yes we had a great draft last year, but I'm judging things based on previous track records.. we took chances with some BUSTS in tha 1st rounds so this was a solid move for Oak.. we had one of tha best DLines this season.. Now Im not saying this trade wont benefit NE as well, because we all know tha pats know how to draft.. of course only a non raider fan would think this wasnt a good move for Oak,, everybody in football knows it was.... Seymours far from washed up.. once he gets a contract extension he'll have plenty more good seasons in Oak just watch kid
2011 draft order
- Thread starter corinthian
- Start date
LOL Where did I assume that the pick played the same position as Seymour? I said draft a 22-23 year old to BUILD around.
The Patriots trading the pick is a mute point. Trading the pick for more picks is only making the trade better for the Patriots.
The Raiders are assuming that he wants to play for them.(Doesnt look like it since they cant sign him) They are also assuming that he doesnt get injuried.
The way of the NFL now, is building through the draft. Have the Patriots missed a beat since all their older, aging players have left or retired? How did the Raiders become a .500 team? Having a solid draft class of starters that they will have for the next 5-6 years. It took the Saints how long to recover are the Ricky Williams draft day trade?
If the Raiders want to be better NOW and become a .500 team, then yes, that was a good trade. But for building a winning team for the future? Nope.

Follow? No. Watch? Yes.
Alot? I dont know about that. Not many 32 year olds have ALOT left in the tank.
Build leaders, dont trade 1st round picks for them. Espically when they are in their 30's.....
The 49ers DRAFTED their leader in Patrick Willis. He'll be with them for the next 5 years.
A team should NEVER trade a 1st round pick because of the past picks. Fuck it, trade every pick for a proven player and see how far that gets them. To be a constantly good playoff team, you must build through the draft.
LMAO @ everybody in football. Like you know everybody in football kid. And thinking that end of career means washed up, shows how smart you really are kid.
Seymour doesnt want to be in Oakland. 2 years and he signed his extension when? Punching QB's and hurting your team, is really showing how much he wants to be there........

Then why even bring itup? A draft pick is a draft pick, and it doesnt need to be in the first round to build around a player.
A "mute" point? You mean, MOOT point?
Either way, you missed the point of what i was saying, moot or not.
Neither you nor I know WHAT the Raiders were/are assuming. The only thing we KNOW, is that they obviously had INTEREST in him, and they did what was necessary to acquire him. Nothing more.
Captain Obvious, is that you?
But again, you are assuming that the Raiders were in re-build mode.

you showed me you have absolutely no idea what your talking about..
coming from tha mans mouth himself
"It's a great place to play," he said. "The fans are unlike any others in the league. They're definitely committed, and they want the same type (of) players to play in this organization. The history of being here, the mystique of putting that silver and black on and representing the Raiders, it's been a lifelong dream for me, and hopefully it continues."

um okay? tha pats would be contending for SBs w/ or w/o Seymour.. what was tha point of that?? as someone else stated tha pats usually trade out of tha 1st rounds regardless.. and yet look how successful they continue to be.. as long as they got Bill and T. Brady they'll continue being in the playoffs each year
I was also thinking that we usually fuck up the first round anyways because I always think of Russell. But I looked it up
2010 - Rolando McClain... Bust? Nope.
2009 - Heyward-Bey... Bust? So far he hasn't done much, but he just got a steady QB.
and for the rest I found this link.

Looks like we do alright in the first round but fuck it. We needed Seymour to help out Kelly and Shaughnessy.
