DHB vs Crabtree

Man you need to go back and check your history. I was hoping the Raiders would draft DHB and they did. I was not shocked that we passed on Crabtree I was happy we didn't draft that overrated as mf. What's so special about Crabtree man, seriously? This man wasn't even healthy and didn't run his 40 yard dash. And actually I was at my sons game during the draft checking my wife's blackberry to see who we drafted.
DHB wasn't a big as factor as Crabtree in college because they played in different offenses. DHB play in more of a pro style offense while Crabtree played in more a spread type offense with 4 WR's on the field.
DHB brings more of that big play potential to our offense because of his speed. Defenses are going to have to roll their coverage towards his side of the field just because he's fast and they don't want to get burned. If they don't, we'll see what happens. Should be pretty!!

"Thus far, Lelie has put on 15 pounds of muscle, going from 186 to 201. Despite his larger size, he ran a blazing 4.27 40-yard dash on a fast track last week."
DHB = Ashley Lelie 2

all i got to say now, is that who gives a fuck for now. lets wait until the regular season starts. lets wait until he gets something thrown to him. for now, its all just opinions and stats and shit. those don't mean shit on the field. hell theres plenty of GOATS that were undrafted free agents. who cares about all of this madness.
THE GIANTS GOT THE BEST STEAL AT WR....AL DAVIS NEEDS 2 REEEEEEEEEE-TIRE....I'D EVEN FUND THE PARTY...CRABTREE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD RAIDER BUT THEY RARELY DRAFT POSSESSION RECIEVERS...DHB HAS UPSIDE BUT I BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND IN THE 2ND ROUND....I ACTUALLY WANTED THE RAIDERS 2 PICC JEREMY MACLIN....HE WOULD HAVE FIT IN WELL...OR I WOULD HAVE TRADED 4 BOLDIN...WE CAN'T SAY MUCH TIL THE SEASON STARTS BUT DHB HAS A LOT OF DOUBTERS...A MEDIOCRE ROOKIE SEASON WON'T DO...IF YOU ARE DRAFTED 7TH OVERALL YOU ARE EXPECTED 2 BE A SUPERSTAR.
I don't see why everyone is so down on Al Davis man. No owner is perfect, these picks are all a crap shoot. You have to draft who ever you think could help your team the most and they must have saw something in DHB that they didn't see in those other receivers. So why take a risk and trade down when another team could snatch him? I think he's worth being picked at 7. He would have been gone before the 2nd round.
Crabtree would have sucked in our system because we don't run that many wide receiver screens (it seems like that's all he's good at). Jeremy Maclin is another Johnnie Lee Higgins (more of a slot receiver). DHB is a legit number 2 receiver that's going to command double teams and make that safety play honest football.
I wouldn't judge him on his numbers alone, you have to see how the Raiders offense looks now with him being out there. He's going to make everyone else better by making the safeties play deep. You have to think from a "strategical" standpoint, not just numbers bruh...
You'll see...

you dont see why? thats your main problem Tony....this isnt a siccness or "raider hater" thing.....Al Davis is and has been the laughing stock of the entire league going on a decade...this isnt new....your a new raider fan so i wouldnt expect you to know...this is a classic Al Davis pick that fails 9 out of 10 times (the first round is a crap shoot...but al davis butcher picks at a more often rate then any other franchise save detriot)......PERIOD
I don't care what people think about Al Davis! He's the owner of his team and he runs things his way. DHB shits on all of them other receivers. His size and speed alone makes him better off top and who says he can't catch and run routes? Give the kid time to develop and work on them "so-called" weaknesses if they are true. DHB got more heart than the rest of them cats. I think it was a "great" pick and we'll see what kind of impact he has on our offense.
