statistically it made sense to go after crabtree and or maclin. i thought it was a no brainer also. but it is a matter of choice ultimately. bey can fly, is 6'3, and has a 39 inch vertical. if this translates to production in the nfl, he could be the best in this draft. personally i wasnt sold on crabtree. he lied about his height initially and is an obvious pre-madonna. as far as my team is concerned, we need guys willing to work, not guys expected to be treated like an all-pro before playing a snap in the nfl. being a great college athlete doesnt necessarily mean a productive nfl career. your work didnt end, it just began. my hope is that bey is hungry, not just for a paycheck, but production and longevity in the nfl.

seahawks and niners are both in the same boat as us. actually you both underachieved, where as according to you guys, it was expected of the raiders. i just dont understand your guys thought process sometimes.
I agree, great points!

New Raider motto: "Just ... fuck it, baby."


Maybe Al visited the doctor and only has a few years to live, I guess he's gonna try to take the franchise to the grave wit him

is that what the rating will be in Madden? Like how can they make Crabtree good on the game when hes coming off of surgery?

I agree with some that the raiders could have probably traded down with someone and still got heyward-bey in the 1st but I really didn't ever see them drafting crabtree since he's more of a possession wr and you know how al davis loves speed.

Despite this I don't see how this is a bad pick until we see how dbh performs out on the field. People can say whatever right now but the raiders were obviously looking for a tall fast wr that can stretch the field and with dbh they got one of the fastest.

They got the fastest dude in the draft! Lets see if he can catch. When we worked him out, Cable liked his route-running! If he's willing to work and improve on his weaknesses, he'll be worth the pick!

Shit Vernon Davis was the fastest guy at his combine (even faster than the receivers) and had an impressive workout. How's his catching skills now?
