Round 7: DB Stevie Brown
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, April 24th, 2010 at 2:04 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders completed their 2010 draft with the selection Michigan defensive back Stevie Brown.
Brown was drafted as a safety, where he played at Michigan in 2008. He played in 2009 as a strong side linebacker, winning the team’s Roger Zatkoff Award as the club’s top linebacker.

Well, at least the headscratching picks took place in the later rounds.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Another LB?
April 24th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
See this is what angers me with Al, he always drafts about 3+ DBs every draft, always looking to upgrade the bar on DBs, but he needs to do that with the OL for like 2 or 3 seasons, for the same reason.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
We did well in the “money” rounds and should be psyched about that… smart trade for Campbell as well. I give us a B for the weekend.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
I have a feeling jackson n cable tricked Al jajaja
April 24th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
He played S most of his college career. I doubt they’re bringing him in to play LB.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
who ever picked in the first 3 rounds thank you and go Puro Raider Nation!!!!!!!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
I dont get it. Stevie brown will get cut. One of the other corners will get cut. We could have had Cam Thomas, Tony Washington, and Ciron Black or Brandon Carter instead of these scrubs.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
You knew Al couldnt resist,,,he must’ve ran a 4.3
April 24th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
he’s a ss. headscratcher here… oh well. now go get haynesworth and Fanecca and we’ll call it good…
April 24th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
we definately whiffed on Cam Thomas…
now we’re gonna have to beat his ugly ass twice a year…
April 24th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
Good grief. Would everybody stop yapping about Cam Thomas?
April 24th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Another whatever Al Davis pick with a freakin safety last??
Sheesh….at least this crap didn’t happen in Rounds 1-4!

NFL.com on Walter McFadden
Pick Analysis: The Raiders nab a good value with the selection of Walter McFadden. The Auburn standout has underrated cover skills, and gives the team a ball hawk at the position. Though he isn’t regarded as a tough or physical tackler, he shows enough skills in the passing game to merit the selection at this point.
on Travis Goethel
Pick Analysis: The Raiders continue to add depth to the linebacker corps after taking Rolando McClain in the first round. Goethel drew interest from several teams for his impressive size, speed and athleticism, and can become an immediate contributor to Oakland’s special teams unit.
on Jeremy Ware
Pick Analysis: The Raiders once again show the heavy premium they place on speed by taking the exceptionally fast Ware. At his pro day, Ware clocked a 4.37-second 40-yard dash, and also demonstrated impressive burst. He will have to compete to earn playing time as a backup in the Raiders’ crowded defensive backfield.

I agree with bcz24,,I give it a B,,,maybe a B- for allowing Al to pick in the later rounds.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Now just need to invite Brandon Carter to camp.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Grade is a solid B for this draft compared to last years D!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Ciron Black should be invited too.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
2OL and a DL… and an MLB what more can you ask out of an Al Davis draft
April 24th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
well no matter what a few pics we seemed to miss n rounds 6 n 7 but we got a beast at mlb a stud at dt n qb n a kr wr and 2 otss 1 that was projected at 8 overall n a solid lb in the 6th n hey the cb out of aub will be on the team but jasonn made this dft
April 24th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Good thing is Ciron Black, Jay Ross, Donovan Warren, Brandon Carter, and Tony Washington are free agents.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
al get on the phone
April 24th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
ALSSOUL Cable said Houston will probably be a DE for us. Invite Jarret Brown to camp too.

we need cable to pester Al to invite them all in
April 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Raiderduck I take it you dont like Cam Thomas
he wouldve been a good late round pick though,,,if we were permanately moving to a 3-4, but it doesnt appear so. Since he’s now a Charger I officially think he sucks.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
carter n black sighn them now
April 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Here’s the million dollar question … if Al had the best 5 starting secondary players in the NFL … how many DBs would be draft?
April 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
i’m overall very pleased with this draft…
but my attitude has always been to use the 6th and 7th rounds to pick up receivers and linemen…
they either become camp fodder or we find a diamond…
but there is no point in drafting people for positions where we already have too many players…
April 24th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
That would be great, Can’t believe Tony Washington went undrafted. Thought he was a 3rd round prospect with 1st roudn talent.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Same with Jarrett Brown and maybe Snead.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I still say at august we trade for haynsworth
April 24th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
detroit has last pick mr. irrelevant and they take-j russell
April 24th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
it is pretty obvious in the later rds we went for Special Team players.Safeties and LBs make excellent ST players.Now lets see who we go after in UDFA.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
CABLE, GET ON THE PHONE!!!!
CALL CARTER!!!
CALL BLACK!!!!
CALL BLOUNT!!!
GET ON THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
mAN EVEN NOW WISH IT WAS cODY IN 2ND
April 24th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
JaDavis Russell really threw away a GOLDEN opportunity.
Unbelievable….how many days and weeks and months can go by where one does nothing but party late, get up early, eat, and repeat the next day.
Millions of kids, heck, and adults, would dream of that opportunity and never get it.
He gets the opportunity and doesn’t even try….
April 24th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Its the SEVENTH round people, these players will never play, what your hopping for is players who can run/tackle to cover kicks…
Maybe one of these guys will make our special teams
April 24th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I would’ve liked a big guy like Cam Thomas too but it has been overkill with the teeth gnashing over the fact that we didn’t take him. He was impressive at the Senior Bowl and in postseason stuff but the knock is that he didn’t play up to that level during the season.
I wouldn’t have minded having him but can’t get too crazy.
Not sure of the point of getting another safety though. But I’m not going to go crazy about the 250th pick in the draft when I don’t even know the first thing about the guy to say whether he’s any good or not.
Still feel there are some great RB and o-line prospects out there I hope we sign as UFAs.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Damn……that was a DEEP DRAFT!!!!!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
yeah,let’s just get all the bes undrafted players…….not likely.come on guys,is this your 1st draft? You’ll be lucky if we sign ONE guy that you’ve heard of.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
A Brown SS from Mich. Damn you Mich!!
He is 5′11 211, ran a 4.51 at his proday, but was projected to run a 4.3+.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
j russell to be offered position on team as team dietician
April 24th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
NOW THE SAD PART WE WONT KNOW OF THE UNDRAFT PLAYERS WE SIGHN TILL JUNE
April 24th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
It’s gonna be the story all year….Russell #1 all-time bust and the discussion about rookie salaries (Russell a poster boy for bringing it in).
April 24th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
CARTER CARTER N I WILL BE HAPPY
April 24th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
IF U WAS A FA ROOKIE N WANTED A CHANCE TO MAKE A TEAM US OR
April 24th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Wake up people!!!!! here we are complaining about us drafting DB with our 6 and 7th round picks. It is the 6th and 7th round people. A place where you might get lucky and add a few special teamers. Not exactly the place you find hall of fame DT’s. We did awesome dont rain on our parade, want to be negative go join the ESPN staff. Hell of a job AL!!!!!!!!!
April 24th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Whats with all the Cody Love on here???
1)He’s only a 2 down player, liability on 3rd down
2) No pass rush skills
3) Bigtime weight issues, he could balloon to 350-400lbs at any point, always going to be an issue at training camp
4)Made no plays behind the line of scrimmage, 1.5 tackles for loss last year
5) Doesn’t fit our 4-3 scheme
April 24th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Cody has weight and motivation issues. Sound familiar? This team wants no part of that.
April 24th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Ryan Leaf just sent a thank you card to Russell. He is no longer the biggest bust in NFL history.

April 24th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Good draft, but not so sure about the last three or two picks, Blount signed already with the 49er’s, we should have got him. For the 2nd 4th round pick on Jacoby Ford, we gave up a 5th round pick and Kirk Morrison to the Jaguars, It feels bad, that we only got a 4th rounder for Morrison, and gave up a 5th too, the 5th rounder was an additional pick we had acquired by moving back a few spots, so that was kinda like a wash. I just wish we hadn’t given it up still, because we need to fill our d-tackle up, oh well, considering we only gave up a 5th rounder previously for Quentin Groves, whom was a 2nd round pick only two years ago. Not bad. I am content overall because we addressed our most glaring weaknesses and pick up a quality CB Walter McFadden, known as a ball hawk.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
Kirk Morrison is gone, traded to the Jags. So long Kirk, much love.
