im really not sold on either of them...Crabtree has protocol nfl "talent"......DHB was just a horrible reach and i still feel bad for raiders fans..even IF he breaks out it shows a horrible trend that will haunt yall threw the rest of the Al Davis years....
if i had to my money would be on Crabtree...

Who cares where the player was "projected" to go? The Raiders got the guy they wanted period. Doesn't matter where he was taken, they got the guy they wanted. And the critics talked bad about Houston because they drafted Bush instead of Williams and who's lauging now? Michael Crabtree equals this drafts Reggie Bush.
Dont you get it? Everyone is making fun of the Raiders because they drafted him at 7 when they couldve drafted him in the late teens or 20's by trading down and saving money in the salary cap and gaining a pick or two in return!! Thats whats everyones been saying and laughing about so far. No ones questioning that they drafted DHB, theyre questioning that they drafted him at 7. you get it yet?! Whys it so hard to understand?

Nope I don't get why every is making fun of the Raiders because how do they know DHB would have been available in the late teens or 20's? We don't know if or who was offering to trade up so it wasn't worth the risk anyway. Why take that chance? They could've missed out on their dude. Nobody knows who would have taken DHB if the Raiders didn't. The Raiders had and used their opportunity to get who they wanted when they wanted so why risk trading down to get extra picks when the player you want could be drafted by another team that was picking ahead of you? Is that hard to understand? What the Raiders did make plenty of sense to me. Makes no sense to take that gamble! Get your guy while you can!
"Well, the first thing you have to know about me is, I don't need to stand up and beat my chest and say, 'The hell with everyone,'" Cable said. "I'm going to probably take a statement, if you will, from Bill Walsh. When you find a player you want, go get him. Don't worry about it. Go get him. And that's what I did. I'll take the heat for that. We've since had people coming back apologizing, turning on film and saying, 'Oh, my god, well this guy was going to Chicago, and they admitted that they were going to take (safety Mike Mitchell) at 49. So, it makes some people look pretty foolish now. But, the bottom line is, I kind of live by that statement from coach Walsh. When you find the one you want, go get it. Don't let anyone detract you and don't worry about what they say."
Do you have solid proof (like the Bears and Mike Mitchell admitting they were going to take him at pick 49)? Or are you just basing your opinion off of projections? Some teams may have had DBH second or even first behind Crabtree on their board, nobody really knows so you're just speculating at this point.
