Draft prospect: Trent Williams
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, April 8th, 2010 at 9:01 am in Oakland Raiders.
Second in a series analyzing potential draft picks for the Raiders, scheduled to select at No. 8 in the first round on April 22:
Position: Tackle.
Height, weight: 6-5, 315 pounds
College: Oklahoma
Why it’s Williams: He’s nearly as athletic as combine god Bruce Campbell with the added bonus of being productive in college. Williams ran a 4.88 40-yard dash in Indianapolis, had the second best vertical jump and was the fastest lineman in the shuttle. A right tackle for three years with Oklahoma, he became a left tackle in his senior year and ended up a consensus All-American after a slow start (Sam Bradford injured his shoulder on Williams’ watch). Could be plugged in as the right side starter on Day 1 and eventually move to the left. Versatile enough to have played center in a pinch.
Why it’s not Williams: One scouting report labeled Williams as only “adequate” moving his feet in zone blocks _ a problem if the Raiders continue to be an exclusively zone blocking team. There’s a chance Williams will not even be around when the Raiders pick at No. 8, with the Seahawks on the lookout for a replacement for Walter Jones.
Quotable: “Pass blocking, my athleticism, staying in front of people. That’s dating back to when I played basketball.That kind of led to a lot on the field. But I can get better at both,” Williams at the NFL combine, asked if his strength was pass blocking or run blocking.

Re: Williams vs. Cody
RRS, sure every pick has bust potential but I see a lot of it with Williams. He got motivated for his paycheck year in college. He could regress to his previous form after getting the NFL cash.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:08 am
2nd?
April 8th, 2010 at 9:09 am
BSJ: see the 2 mock drafts I posted on the last Jerry Mac post …
your thoughts?
April 8th, 2010 at 9:10 am
BSJ: money doesn’t motivate people
ask JaMarcus, Darren & Darrius
April 8th, 2010 at 9:14 am
I want a sure thing at #8 – tired of projects. These players have the least bust potential, IMO:
Suh
McClain
Okung
T. Williams
Pouncey
D. Bryant
April 8th, 2010 at 9:16 am
Trade up for SUH!
Good morning Narion. I wasted a good mock draft on the prev post.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:17 am
A Center at 8!?!

Berry, Spiller, Bradford & Morgan too, but I don’t want any of them!
April 8th, 2010 at 9:18 am
No RaiderO.
We want to trade down.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:20 am
I think Bradford could wash out…fragile.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:22 am
Suh
McClain
Okung
T. Williams
Pouncey
D. Bryant
***
good chance Suh, McCoy, Okung & Williams are off the board by #8
Bryant & McClain could both go to either KC or Cleveland
April 8th, 2010 at 9:24 am
1. Rams – Bradford
2. Lions – Suh
3. Buccaneers – McCoy
4. Redskins – Okung
5. Chiefs – Bryant/McClain
6. Seahawks – Williams
7. Browns – Berry/Bryant/McClain
thats how I see it …
April 8th, 2010 at 9:25 am
lol
Al never trades down, he would rather reach for a player, or he will try to trade up if he really liked a player.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:28 am
save that mock (above)
2 weeks from now, barring trade, thats how it’ll fall
April 8th, 2010 at 9:31 am
T. Williams makes sense and might be there, but never know with Aloe.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Bradford got pushed around, beat up, and hurt by the Cougars of BYU.
Not a good sign. The NFL is a tad tougher than BYU.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:33 am
You have each team taking 4 different guys RR. Man up and do a real mock.
1. Rams – Bradford
2. Lions – Okung
3. Bucs – McCoy

5. Chiefs – T. Williams
6. Seahawks – Spiller

April 8th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Carry on Frank….just wanted to get a “you people” out of my system.
For what it is worth, I highly suspect the Lions doing something no one expects. Trade down, draft Berry or Spiller or something.
Suh and/or Okung make all the sense in the world, but this is the Lions we are talking about.

April 8th, 2010 at 10:24 am
Good Day All !
Back 2 this J.Campbell tinng….
I would trade from our 2nd round on down 4 him.The winner between Bruce and Jason would make us and them vastly improved,imo.
I like the way Bruce and Hackett call certain playe to set it up later,and Bruce can really sell the fake.I know its a strech right now but I think Bruce reminds me of Bob Griese
I havent really watched Jason that much,just know he puys up good numbers on a team in the same place as us.
Come on Big Al Jason Campbell is available and we could REALLY use him!
April 8th, 2010 at 10:25 am
ooops 1 too many bongers!!!,sorry
April 8th, 2010 at 10:26 am
not 4da bongers…the spelling
April 8th, 2010 at 10:29 am
The more and more I read about Okung, the more I want us to have him. Okung, McCoy or Suh would be Al’s perfect apology to us for most of his draft blunders… Either that or trading up for Campbell and extra draft picks in the 3rd and 4th, or trading our 2nd for Gaither straight up.
April 8th, 2010 at 10:33 am
4eva: I like Jason Campbell too
I think we can get him for a 2010 4th rounder or 2011 3rd rounder, especially since the reported asking price is only a 5th rounder and there are only 5 teams interested!
April 8th, 2010 at 10:42 am
Bills signed RB Walter Mendenhall
Browns signed C Eric Ghiaciuc
we missed out.
oh no! we suck again!

April 8th, 2010 at 10:46 am
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Free agent linebacker Jason Taylor is meeting with the New York Jets for a second day as coach Rex Ryan tries to persuade the NFL’s active sacks leader to join the top-ranked defense.
The six-time Pro Bowl pick is at the team’s facility Thursday and has met a number of Jets players, who say Taylor would be a welcome addition. Taylor has spent 12 of his 13 seasons with the Miami Dolphins, including last year when he had seven sacks.
The 35-year-old Taylor would provide the Jets with a proven pass rusher.
Taylor has had a contentious relationship with Jets fans during his career, calling them ignorant and classless. Linebacker Calvin Pace believes the fans will put that aside if Taylor signs with New York.

aw c’mon now, we got us Wimbley and Baby Howie. What more can this team possibly need to get over the hump?
remember, our cartoon caveman HC has reminded us again and again how close the Raiders are to resurgence.

April 8th, 2010 at 11:43 am
I really think Pouncey would be a great pick at #8 or with a TRADE DOWN!
He would add much needed instant strength, nastiness, athleticism and versatility to the middle of that Raider O-Line.
The Raiders need to add OT Flo Adams though….but they won’t cause I doubt Flo would come here.

Gil Brandt says Pouncey is the best Center prospect to come out in the last 10 years. We can use him for sure.
April 8th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Gil Brandt says the Raiders are interested in Tebow too …
Pouncey & Tebow in the first 2 rounds?
better than DHB & MM!
April 8th, 2010 at 11:56 am
Well if Al takes a D guy in the first round and jumps on Pouncey in the 2nd,then that will be awesome.
April 8th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Pouncey will be a Top 20 pick. he wont be there at #39
April 8th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Everthing about Pouncey sounds great! Can start at Center or RG on the interior middle of that Raiders O-Line and contribute immediately!

April 8th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
I strongly believe in just go get the guy you want. If the Raiders want Pouncey, then who cares where he is taken. If he can add value and improve the line, then it’s all the better.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:17 pm
If Al comes away with Pouncey and Brandon Graham, then I’m ecstatic.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
if we go OL with the first pick our starting NT will be Des Bryant, that’s worse than our LT being Henderson RT being Barnes or C being Satele.

Some folks seem to think CB Kyle Wilson from Boise State is going to be there at #39. What would you lot think of taking him?
April 8th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
If we make no other moves at QB? I think Russell will compete through training camp, but will be replaced two games into the season by Gradkowski.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
Pouncey – played a game 2 hours after having treatment for kidney stones????

April 8th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Pouncey would NOT be a reach at #8 when you consider the value he would bring to the middle of that Raider O-Line.
It would be a bit unconventional to pick a Center/Guard due to positional value….but when it comes to a teams value board and what a certain player would add…things change.
Pouncey would be gone within the top 18 picks anyways…..so would getting a player like that at #8 be that big of a reach?
Not really IMO….it would be a great value pick actually getting a guy who can contribute immediately at Center or Guard for 10 years.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:36 pm

YoungAmerican: I just looked at 3 different draft player ranking sites and Kyle Wilson is ranked the 19th, 22nd & 30th overall player in the draft.
if he’s sitting there at #39 I gotta think Al Davis will draft him, regardless who else might be available …

BTW, I like Tebow, and I like the fact that he has faith!
April 8th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
I would not mind taking Pouncey at all. We NEED to do something about the middle of our offensive line.
Although something tells me it makes a little too much sense for an Al Davis draft. Then again, to pick an interior lineman at #8, maybe it’ll one of those “crazy like a fox” moves Al pulls every now and then. We’ll see.

Receivers say McNabb is already Redskins’ leader
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 8, 2010 2:43 PM ET
Donovan McNabb hasn’t even been the Washington Redskins’ quarterback for a week, but a couple of his receivers say he’s already their leader.
“Donovan’s outstanding. It feels like he’s been here for a couple of years,” tight end Chris Cooley said today, per Rick Maese of the Washington Post. “Instantly, he’s a leader. Instantly, he knows what it takes to have a team together. He’s talked with all the guys, fits in extremely well.”
Redskins wide receiver Malcolm Kelly referred to McNabb as “a cool dude” and said his grasp of the offense is infectious.
“Right away, it’s almost like he’s been here. It’s almost like he got the playbook when we got it,” Kelly said. “It’s crazy because he knows everything. He already knows the concepts and things like that and he’s just been here two or three days. You can tell the way he carries himself and the way he is on the field that he has a lot of confidence. And that spreads to the rest of the guys out there on the field.”
We still have to wait five months before we see McNabb in a Redskins uniform playing a game that matters. But he’s clearly made a good first impression.
………..
Would have been nice to hear this from our guys

April 8th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
If we don’t pick up Campbell, I’d love to see Dan LeFevour get drafted to compete with Gradkowski and Russell.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I guess I just don’t see them looking at Berry when they have so many more pressing needs.
***
Madden: Berry is the best defensive player in the draft imo
better than Suh, McCoy, Haden, McClain, etc.
the Browns currently have Mike Adams & Abram Elam at safety (who?)
You’re right – they have nobody at WR either though, so Dez Bryant might also be in play

Mike Adams & Abram Elam were both undrafted.
have a combined 10 passes defensed and ZERO interceptions last year …
Michael Huff alone had 14 passes defensed and 3 interceptions!
the Browns will take Eric Berry if he’s there, they’d be foolish not to

Trade our 1st and 5th round picks for DT Albert Haynesworth and QB Jason Campbell.

Trade Kirk Morrison for a 3rd round pick.
3rd round – MLB Jamar Chaney or Pat Angerer

If Al would go Tebow, I think he’d go LeFevour as well. And hey, he brought in Gradkowski in the first place, so he must not be as opposed to small-armed QBs as people think he is.
Although Pike is an intriguing prospect. He might be a little skinny, but so was Tom Brady so who knows. Would be fun to reunite him with Mardy Gilyard here, though.
April 8th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Haynesworth isn’t worth our 1st round pick. I’d rather have Dan williams or Cody over him. A 5th for Campbell would be fine with me. Gaither would be ok for a 2nd and Morrison for a 3rd is fine too.

April 8th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
RaiderRockstar -
Tennant, Cam Thomas and John Conner are all very intriguing prospects, too.
But I think we need to do something about MLB, and if Jamar Cheney is still there in the 3rd round, that’s a guy who has the speed to play in the Raiders defensive scheme. Linebackers with that kind of speed don’t come around that often.
We also need to address both cornerback and KR. If we can manage that with a single player, it would be ideal. Akwasi Owusu-Ansah has decent size and 4.3 speed. At the very least he can push Stanford Routt (I don’t know if we even have another CB on the roster after Routt… looks like they moved Holland back to WR). We could also look to bring in a veteran like Lito Sheppard, but he won’t help us in the kick return game.

If we had to draft a QB, I would draft:
-Tebow

not really man. I don’t even watch college football to tell you the truth. I just do my homework during the offseason prior to the draft …

it’s all just a waste of time anyways, because Al Davis will take Bruce Campbell or Jason Pierre-Paul in Round 1 and the disaster will probably continue on Friday as well

YoungAmerican: I’m not a fan of speedy undersized LB’s.
I want a monster MLB who packs a punch like McClain or Spikes, but you’ve got to put them in a position to succeed (ie. not playing behind guys like Sands, Warren or Bryant at NT)
My 1st choice if we can’t get those 2 above would be Micah Johnson (Round 5)
regarding KR/PR: Nick Miller, JLH & Yamon Figurs can handle that. re-sign Justin Miller and bring in a couple undrafted players
CB: I vote we take the free agent route and get an experienced player for nickel & dime packages. these dudes are all available

Three early schools of thought
The draft is now three weeks away, and there seems to be three ways of thinking when it comes to what the Raiders are going to do with the eighth pick.
One, draft a tackle – either the best one available (Oklahoma’s Trent Williams or Rutgers’ Anthony Davis) or workout warrior Bruce Campbell of Maryland. Campbell didn’t do much last season but ran a 4.74 40 at the combine.
Two, go for the gusto and take a raw pass rusher like South Florida’s Jason Pierre-Paul. He’s got long arms and maybe he could use that to get over an offensive lineman.
Three, really really go for the Al Davis effect, shock the world and take Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. He makes all the NFL throws, and would put a lot of pressure on JaMarcus Russell. He could be looking at a win-the-starter’s-job (over Bruce Gradkowski) or get-cut scenario. Would make for a great training camp.
It’s early yet, but put me down for No. 2 — with the Raiders taking a tackle in the second round.

This years draft is DEEP at the DT and DE positions. A good one can be had in Round 2 or 3 IMO.

About an hour ago, I was coming off the Ron Cowan Parkway there at Harbor Bay Parkway, and there was the most tricked out Black Escalade with Raider Sheild on the Mirrored windows. I bet that was Russell.
=======================================
If it had 22″ spinner rims on it, then it was Al Davis.

Krappy, don’t lie. You were asleep on your couch dreaming of roast beef sandwiches with nacho cheese and a side of curly fries.
And don’t try to tell us you were doing a Broker’s Tour for the town home. We stopped believing that lie back in ‘08.

Later RR.

Hey Vegas, you coming out next weekend for Grand Prix?
Might get Krappy, my trusty shrimp cocktail servant, out to work my annual bash at Aqua.
I’m telling you broslam, these are the freshest damn tiger shrimp this side of the Mediterranean. Served by the goofiest old dimwit this side of Applebees.

Where do you live, under a rock?
You’re life seems to be pretty grim.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
A lot of folks have dropped the Tony Pike in the 3rd or 4th talk.
I don’t know, didn’t he suck in his bowl game and the senior bowl? I didn’t see much, but the only thing impressive I saw was his size.
But we should seriously look at a QB in this draft. If Tebow’s around at #39, it has to be at least on the table. Same with Lefevre and Pike in the 3rd or 4th, and Periloux, Levi Brown and a few others in the late rounds.
What happens if Bruce gets hurt again and Jamarcus doesn’t care again? Seems like a likely scenario for 2010.
We need plan C, or F, or whatever the hell letter we are going onto.

Krappy, I’m drinking Singapore Slings with 2 strippers from Spearmint Rhino in my 2500 sq ft condo over looking the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
You are barely scraping by in tiny 1 BD apartment in the sticks, married to an old bird with a bowl cut and unable to sell a single town home that’s been on the market since Clinton was in office.
Try again, my faithful little shrimp cocktail servant!

Too bad we can’t get the Raiders back to LA where some of these players would actually desire to live.
Once Al is dead and the team is back in LA things will turn around.

I know you’re always trying to impress me, but:
I’ve been from New York City to Eagle pass.
Playing society whores and kicking Dumb Beeyches like you in their no good azz.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Thats why we need Jason Campbell,Vegas….
April 8th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
Oh yeah #2 wont care
April 8th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I hate that your right Dakota.
More importantly, going blonde for young Grey was a solid move. Let’s hope DHB’s number change has the same impact.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
That’s right Dakota, and when we get the Silver & Black back to LA, I’ll be throwing a bash in my luxury box for all my favorite blog dorks and nerds.
I also plan to surround everyone with a few of my hand picked hot drunk sluts, a steady stream of Judas Priest jams on the Wi-Fi and KrappyKell and his son Brian the Genital in pink tuxedos serving delicious finger foods from kickoff to the final whistle!
April 8th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
I agree Vegas, solid move by the junk breaker.
April 8th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
junk breaker, lol…..took me a second
April 8th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Krappy, I do not doubt that you’ve worked parties in New York City and Eagles Pass. Good servants can be hard to find these days.
But there is NO WAY you’ve ever seduced women and/or fought good looking dudes like me.
We all know you’d fall asleep from your medication before you could even use a sloppy pick up line or make a fist, old goat!
April 8th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
We’ll party like its 1986!
Hot Tub Time Machine! FUNNY SCHYT!

Nice to see people getting on the Poncey bandwagon
April 8th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Thats just not right Vegas
April 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
Cable loves him some Samson Satele. He might be heart-broken if Al takes Pouncey.
As 4eva says, if he would have taken Mack last year……
April 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
I’m outta here.. good night gents
April 8th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
When it’s all said & done the best & safest pick at #8 is Maurike Pouncey. He’d be an immediate starter at Center – a BIG need for us. There’s a strong liklihood the Bruce Campbell OT will be there at #39, our second pick. Take a MLB at 3, Mitch Petrus OG at 4, a DT & John Conner FB at 5A/5B, and two speed RB (PR/KR), Alfonso Smith & Deji Karim (both 4.4/ 40 or better) at 7A/7B.
April 8th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
What about that linebacker from we had on the practice squad? Any word on him?

The only real problem Theisman and other people in the press have with Russell is the money he’s making. Period, has nothing to do with his skills or work effort. It started in ‘07, when Russell and his agent were holding Al’s balls to the fire. The media and the league might hate Al, but they hate greedy players even more. Nobody loves this criticism of Russell right now more than Al Davis. It takes the blame away from him for how bad the Raiders are.
April 8th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
rmr jamarcuss and his agent have the right to make money good ole capitalism
April 8th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
please, lets focus on reality. Al is going to draft the fastest wr o db on the board.
April 8th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Our team has to go through certain changes in order to jump up from 5-11 to at least 8-8. Here is some of my thoughts maybe you guys can critique it.
QB: With Gradkowitzki being the front runner to win the starting job, the concerns are mostly can he do it for 16 games. If Grad gets hurt, JR will demoralize the Raider fans, therefore I think JR should get cut if he loses the open competition. Frye hasn’t been a winner ever since he came to this league, I doubt he can give us anything more then what JR gave us last year, I always saw him as a third QB not even a backup. We need someone who can at least move the chains and score some touchdowns, hopefully we either draft a QB or trade for Jason Campbell. Gradkowitzki is clearly not the best answer but he is all what we got now.
OL: I am not sold on Barnes, Walker, Morris, Cooper, Satele, Pears, etc. With the exception of Henderson and Gallery, I doubt any of those bums can hold or allow our RBs to penetrate opponents DL. There is a reason why teams always blitz against the Raiders. They know sooner or later those DLs will be able to collapse our OL. We need new bloods, this is the most important position for this team. Not only do we have a weak QB, but if our OL remains weak, might as well expect another season 5-11.
LBs: This position is still a mystery to me. Maybe some of you have better ideas. My confusion lies in the fact that Cable clearly states that Wimbley is going to be our starting SLB. He is not known neither for his tackling skills nor for his covering skills but he is known for his rushing capabilities. Does that mean Wimbley will be allowed to rush the QB along with our 4 DLs? That would leave us exposed in the middle and force both our safeties to play zone all the time. Can we expect the Raiders to become a 70% blitzing team like the Ravens or Jets? Regardless, Wimbley, a new MLB that I am sure we are drafting and Scott, they give us a solid unit in rushing the passer, can they cover who knows, but maybe if we still expect to have Morrison and Howard, we could switch our LBs back and forth depending on opponents strategies. We at least now have rushers and cover LBs in our team.
DL: Second year of having Seymour is going to be a blast. I think he returns back into his pro bowl form and show us that he is a worthy of our first rounder. Besides, he wants his final paycheck and that would motivate him. Matt and Seymour at DE with Richardson and whomever we get in the draft as our DE, that unit is solid. For those who think TK is any good, go watch the tape, the guy gets penetrated more then 60% of time he plays. HE IS GARBAGE. He is not a starter in this league, he had only one good year as a Raider, can he stop the run, we seen the answer, NO. We clearly need a new blood in here too, a true DT who is young motivated and can hold his attacker and his pants. Desmond Bryant might make an impact, but we clearly need depth in this position. The two bums we signed are worthless.
CB: Many of you think CJ is solid playing opposite the great Asmough. He has the Raider speed but he gets burned alot. He played better the first year he replaced moron DeAngelo Hall. Last year, CJ sucked. Routt in my opinion is better option, he can’t play the nickle but you put him in CJ position outside, the guy can cover man to man. Can CJ play the nickle, yes he can. He did it before, but we also need at least another corner. Holland Wr to CB is a two year project, draft a young guy or get him as undrafted rookie.
ST: Our ST sucked last year, we couldnt stop opponents KR/PR. Our Kickers are the best in the league, but our unit need to get better. Why are we paying Ekujuba or whatever his name is top money? I think AL should try drafting players who can play ST in the lower rounds.
FA: Jerry said that the Raiders are waiting for the market to cool down before signing any player. I think we should sign right now as the market is as cold as it gets. After the draft, some teams might compete with us for the services of the players we need. We clearly need a WR, FB, DL, CB, RT, RG, C, etc. I think the Raiders need to sign Mawae, Chester Pitts and T.O for less then $10 mill a year. Each player might be happy with the one year deal offered at this time. Mawae and Pitts could be had for less then 4 mill and give T.O a one year 5 mill deal. Does AL have the money, I think he does.
