We should have taken an offensive or defensive tackle. horrible draft so far. trading down would have been smart. we're not smart.

At first I was quite upset but then I really read on him and listened to his interviews and it completely changed my mind!! He seems to want to give it his all and just seems like a cool guy!! It's messed up what a lot of you and the dumb a-- announcers were saying!!! Give the guy a chance.......there have been many times in past drafts where there were players who didn't get all the hype and were thought of as average...and they ended up being some of the best players....Nmandi(s/w),Jerry Rice, randy moss, Tom Brady..just to name a few!!!!!! They were not that highly talked about and not many thought anything about them and look what stars and talents they ended up being!!!!!!!!! Don't sit there and judge this guy until you've seen him play for yourself..he may just be the next big thing! I'm happy to call him a RAIDER!!! WELCOME DH-B TO THE RAIDER NATION AND THE BAY!! I'M HAPPY YOU WERE OUR 7TH PICK...JUST GO AHEAD AND PROVE TO THOSE HATERS YOU CAN INDEED PLAY AND HAVE JUST AS MUCH TALENT AS ANY OF THE BIG TIME RECEIVERS THAT WERE GETTING ALL THE HYPE!!!

I wrote a quick little snippet article questioning his tactics. But when I heard the conference call with DHB and the Cable Guy soon after, I instantly fell in love with the guy (no homo). I would rather have a guy who wants to be there, and wants to do everything in his ability to make this franchise a playoff contender, instead of a Michael Crabtree who doesn't want to be a Real Raider, who has a diva attitude, who mutters "whew" when passed on. I'm glad we passed on this second coming of a T.O., this new and improved cancer. Michael Crabtree was passed on by the Cleveland Browns, isn't it interesting that they drafted two WRs rather than taking this so-called "special player." I feel ashamed that I was a long time advocate of this Michael Crabtree. I say good riddance to the man who possibly could and would have destroyed an already dismal locker room morale! And when you look at DHB intangibles, he has the physical tools of a Randy Moss in his prime. - Height: 6-3 - Reported personal record 40 time at 4.23 (would tie Deion Sanders for the fastest 40 ever) He needs to works on his route running, and consistency with his hands. But I truly really like this guy, and he'll help J-Russ keep his job, D-Mac have his breakout year, and stretch the field for our other receivers. Plus, I really like the pickup of the darkhorse in Mike Mitchell. He was taken so highly only because the Bears were planning to take him from the Raiders, the thought that the Raiders would follow popular belief, and would attempt to take him in later rounds. They must not know Al Davis... He got the guy who dreamed of playing with the dynasty that is the Oakland Raiders, before the Chicago Bears could steal him only two picks later. Notice how they traded down immediately after we acquired Mike "The Chain Pike" Mitchell. The Raiders are in a rebuilding phase, and they are trying to fill the locker room with guys who want to be there. They are trying to change the mentality of this organization. Even if it means taking guys who weren't as lucky to be in a 100 percent passing spread offense. Just like we don't need head case free agents, we don't need head case rookies... My commitment to the Raiders had slightly faltered today, but know it is stronger than ever... I Believe...Do you??

Wasted Day!! Having lost at least 11 games a year for the past five the Raiders need both quality and quantity. They could have traded down nadded DHB in the mid 1st round and pick up Mitchell in the 4th. By trading down the Raiders could have added quality players to the Offensive and Defensive Line. What makes this worse IF Crabtree turns out to be a stud and Bey a dud,we here in the Bay Area get to hear about it for years to come! I pray that Crabtree doesn't end up being the next Jerry Rice and DHB the next Jessie Hester!!! Are there any good D Tackles left for the taking in the 3rd round or will Crazy Al pick up some fast guy out off a semi pro team. Old Man Al needs to be put out to pasture and Cable needs to sack up. We do not need another Joe Bugel running the show. Show me the last Super Bowl winner where speed was their number one asset??? The Raiders need football players NOT a track team!!!!!!
