Raiders get picks in 3rd, 4th, 5th rounds
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, March 26th, 2012 at 1:25 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders significantly added to their draft Monday with the announcement at the NFL owner’s meetings they would receiver compensatory selections in the third, fourth and fifth rounds.
Oakland’s picks, as announced on its Twitter account, are No. 95, No 129 and No. 168 overall.
The Raiders had picks in only the fifth and sixth rounds before compensatory picks were announced.
Compensatory picks come at the end of the round around and cannot be traded, not that general manager Reggie McKenzie is going to be doing much dealing with such a limited draft.

Burfict = slow, questionable instincts, runs around blocks instead of shedding them, not very good in coverage, character concerns.
So basically, he’s the embodiment of all the weaknesses the Raiders LB corps had last season.

Q: Looking to add another quarterback behind Palmer, Pryor . .
McKenzie: Kind of the same as like running back for us, make sure you bring a legitimate guy in.
(For reference, here’s the answer to the RB question)
Q: Is running back a position you feel good about being able to find someone, either through draft, a released player, drafted free agent . . .
McKenzie: Absolutely. I’m OK with being able find a guy. Some guys get released that can step in and play. A lot of those situations happen.
————————————————————
Legitimate guy that can step in and play.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
If Al were still here, we’d be taking Burfict in the third.
Not so much with Reggie Mac.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Outstanding!
3rd, 4th and 5th picks???
We usually do pretty well in the middle rounds. Don’t expect that to change.

So 3rd, 4th and 5th, huh?…who will fall to us at 95?
——————–
My money is on Sean Spence.
A few other possibilities are DE/OLB Jake Bequette, NT Josh Chapman, and CB Leonard Johnson.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Yep yep!
Told ya we should get a 4th and 5th for sure along with the given of getting a 3rd!
This was the best possible scenario of comp picks we could get IMO!!
Chubby McK is licking his chops now!

I really hope Bobby Wagner from Utah State is there. Raiders have interviewed him a couple of times, I think; once at the Senior Bowl and again at the combine.
Could be a good one!
March 26th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Wagner would be great. I think he’ll be gone at the beginning of Round 2, but who knows.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Just Focus on Defense Baby!!
March 26th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Burfict:
“His utter lack of discipline is a major concern for scouts; draws too many personal foul flags for late hits and constantly talks with officials and opponents. Has reportedly matured during over the past year, becoming a vocal leader on the field and in the locker room. Stamina could be improved.”
March 26th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Raiders have around $2 million in cap space. A 3rd Rd salary is around $550,000 $700,000 year. They have more than a few needs. It will be tight.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
So all this we lost our whole draft talk was mistaken, eh?

===========================================
Paul G. was reporting we have $3.72 million. Time to restructure some more if we’re signing anyone else.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
3rd Rd pick- OLB/DE or NT
4th Rd pick- NT/DT or OLB/DE
5th Rd pick#1- RB or big physical WR or TE
5th Rd pick#2- TE or WR or RB or OL
Regardless, Chubby Reggie will make these picks count!
March 26th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
3rd = BPA
4th = BPA
5th = BPA
5th = BPA
6th = BPA
March 26th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
TP is the #2 QB. Raiders don’t have money to bring in any legitimate QB’s. They will all want at least $1 Mil a year.

Three picks sweet hope for some impact players
March 26th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
Oakland’s picks, as announced on its Twitter account, are No. 95, No 129 and No. 168 overall.

booyah!
next Monday 04/02 i’ll start the “Who should we draft at #95 poll” and it will be carried thru 04/25
you will have over 3 weeks to cast your vote and change it.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
RB Robert Turbin, Utah State
March 26th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Does that mean next year we get three picks also since we lost boss, bush, wimbley,rout,Johnson blackstock and soon camble does that mean we get three picks next year to??
March 26th, 2012 at 1:50 pm

No, we lost last year, but the kid played well in that game.

interesting, YA
Looking at the Raiders roster I would guess we’ll draft
2 LB’s
1 DB
1 OL
1 DL
that could change at any moment if the Raiders sign or re-sign somebody in the next 3+ weeks
March 26th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
Raiders Cap is around $2 million:
Low range,
3Rd pick salary= about 600,000 year
4th = $550,000
5th = $470,000
6th =$450,000
= $2,075,000
Reggie has a lot of work to do.
It may just be draft picks now and really low range FA’s

We won’t get anything for Routt, Wimbley or any of the the other guys that were released. We could get compensation for Campbell and Bush, though. They were free agents.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:53 pm
So those “we mortgaged our future guys” can shut up now..must not have been paying attention.
Plenty of picks to plug holes.

So far, we’ve only “lost” Bush and Soup. Routt, Boss, CJ and Kam were all releases and therefore don’t count.

I might be wrong, but you do not get comp picks for players that are traded or cut. Only for players that leave as free agents…So far for next year it would be Bush, J. Campbell and T. Scott?
March 26th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
A restructure here and/or there and lets get active again…

RTID,
good point. Boss, Wimbley, Routt & Bush are out.
who else did we lose this offseason?
Campbell, Satele, Scott & Schilens.
I don’t think we’re getting anything for Boller, Cartwright, Blackstock, Henderson, Eugene, Boyd or CJ37 (LOL)
I think the Raiders could re-sign Giordano, Groves, Moss & Heyer …

From now on, those awarded picks will be gravy and trade fodder…its a new era.
March 26th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Micheal turbin would be a nice pick up but I think Reggie will go linebacker unless we sign Lawson or somebody else
March 26th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
cannot trade comp picks
March 26th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
So next year the Texans (Williams) will get the highest comp pick, most likely?
March 26th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Well at least we are back in the top 100 of the draft (barely).
Get some pass-rushers and LB and DB’s with some instincts.
I am looking at the Hayward kid from Vandy in the 4th.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
LOL, based on the dumping that the Texans did, they could have the whole back end of the third!

I agree. McKenzie has said he wants a “legitimate guy” to be the backup running back. I think that means he wants someone that’s played in the league for a little while, and that knows how to run routes and block.
Doesn’t sound to me like he’s looking for a rookie to fill that role.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
According to a NFL.com article, comp picks factor in salary of players that left the most..
Therefore, Bruce Gradkowski helped garner more comp picks than Miller and T Howard.
Thanks again Bruce!!!

Tough to say. I mean we cut Wimb, Routt and Boss. They were not unrestricted FA’s until we cut them, so I don’t know how the rule applies in that situation.
We should probably for sure get a 5th, 6th next year for losing Bush though I would think.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
ET,
Look at what he did with Tebow. Braxton ran a sub 4.5, and he can throw. I expect great things too.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Reggie should try and restructure Kelly and DHB’s contracts now if he can.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
So it’s pretty much like getting an early 4th, and early 5th, and an early 6th
March 26th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Thanx for clearing that up all of u I wasn’t to sure
March 26th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
I think we will get two 4th’s next year for our Bush and Soup.
Remember though it is at the end of the round, so really a comp 3rd is really an early 4th, etc etc.

And with the 95th pick in the NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select:
Ronnie Hillman

Burfict is a Reggie pick NOT an Al Davis pick. The guy is a good football player but certainly not an adonis or a speedster.
Ran a 5. something at the combine. like 17 Linemen ran faster than him.
Has improved in the locker room and off field apparently after Ray Lewsi talked to him but hes a question worth asking in the 3rd.
Have a great day Nation!~

Well that’s just super duper! Thanks for the update Jerry! Hopefully Reggie will draft a scary nail eating Monster OLB or a Beast RB that can block or can play FB if needed(or maybe we can sign Cedric Benson in FA…on the cheap). Maybe we can sign a fearless intelligent bully C. Reggie need to keep the chains moving….let’s keep moving up! Let’s chop chop.

Id really like Alameda Ta’amu or Bobby Wagner to drop to us.
David Molk C from Mich is a really nice option strong zone blocker
Danny Travethian Olb Ferocious Sleeper
Frank Alexander Olb/De pass rusher that the Raiders need

March 26th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
I love Shonasty, but he’s coming off a serious injury.
I love Houston, but he doesn’t get to the QB much.(best suited for the middle,IMO)

March 26th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
NFL Network’s Steve Wyche said on Path to the Draft Friday that Arizona State ILB Vontaze Burfict has already been removed from some teams’ draft boards after a red flag-filled offseason.
“This guy had a second-round grade at one point,” noted NFL Net’s Charley Casserly. Burfict is going to work out for NFL teams again next week, but he’s been out of shape and thoroughly underwhelming throughout the pre-draft process. We wouldn’t expect Burfict to be drafted before the sixth round. Mar. 23 – 7:07 pm et
6th rd??
I think raiders should take a chance on him even though i still think he will be gone before the 6th.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
We would have to compensate Cincinnati somehow in order to trade our 1st round pick for 2013 for a 1st round pick this year, as they have a lien on our 1st round pick for 2013.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
So that means we can get Lawson for like $1,75 mil this season! LOL!

They only get that pick if we reach the AFC Championship this season. Otherwise, they get our #2. I’m sure Reggie could get Mike Brown to agree to something in its place, should we get to within one game of the Super Bowl.

Then, in classic Kelly Family meltdown mode, Brian threatened to kill a bunch of bloggers for making fun of him.
I’m sure he’s been locked away in Krappy’s basement crying his way through Forrest Gump for the 7,000th time, but let me know if you’ve seen the poor girl

Burfict’s career will be shorter and more useless than Jamarcus Russell’s.
He wasn’t even that good in the first place. 3rd best LB on his own team according to most reports. Was picked on and gameplanned to be isolated.
Than he flopped at the combine with the interviews.
He will be lucky to be drafted.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Burfict is similar to Kimbo Slice.
All youtube clips, but in reality, he is not anywhere close to ready to compete with the pro’s.

RE: Ronnie Hillman SDSU
on 3rd downs…the smaller the better…
Look at the success of all the tiny RB’s in the NFL:
Jones Drew
Ray Rice
Darren Sproles
Does this kid have the skills?
$$$$$$$$$$$$
He has skills, but we need a bigger back IMO. We have T Jones.
Go Aztecs!!
March 26th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
This is great news. I was hoping we would get three picks. Nice..
March 26th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Can’t trade next year’s No.1 pick. It is in limbo as a condition of the Palmer trade. Can’t trade conditinal picks. Reggie’s going to just have to make do…

Speaking of Kimbo Slice, anyone see that dive Brian Green took against him Friday night?
March 26th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
I would guess a CB at pick 95…it is etched in stone…almost.
Look at Flemming from OU. Big frame with speed to match top round picks, comparable vertical, good reach plus some huge 9 1/2 inch hands…
March 26th, 2012 at 2:49 pm
was Reggie showing his inexperience as GM by stating we need a STARTING olb in his last interview, on the record?
and saying we have no money …
if there are many good LB’s left in picks 84-94, expect teams to trade up to grab one because they know Reggie wants one at #95 and he ain’t gonna let a good one slip by him
March 26th, 2012 at 2:51 pm

Another player:
Nick Provo, TE, Syracuse
Height: 6-3 Weight: 245
March 26th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
I like Casey Hayward from Vandy.
Super smart, great ball skills, played against elite talent in the SEC, and competes. Did well at the Senior Bowl.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Rhett Ellison, TE/FB, USC
Height: 6-5 Weight: 251
^^^^
This guy would be a good late round pick. Play some blocking fullback and can block as a TE and can catch the football.

I don’t think Reggis will take a CB with that 3rd round pick and I hope he doesn’t. We have enough corners on the roster already.
They can get a corner in the later rounds if need be.
This team needs some OLB’s/DE’s and a NT ahead of another CB….again! Ugh
March 26th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Went against Alshon Jeffery, potential 1st rounder, and bagged two INT’s.
Also two picks in his bowl game.
Great instincts and smarts, not elite speed.
Perfect player for the new era.
March 26th, 2012 at 2:58 pm
How do we not need a young DB?
We got two cheap, vet FA’s, and two incredibly green youngsters.
Can’t imagine that we are set there with that, after the misery that was our pass defense last year.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:02 pm
Raiders recieved the only 3rd round compensatory pick;
the 2nd of the 4th round compensatory pick;
and the first of the fifth round compensatory draft pick,
excellent!
March 26th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
SMU OL Beachum would be great selection with our 3rd or 4th round, but I do not think he will last that long.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Of course I think they will be looking at Ganaway also in Round 5 or 6 possibly.
Terrance Ganaway, RB/FB Baylor
Height: 6-1 Weight: 238
March 26th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
I think we are set at the CB position. What good are CB’s and secondary, if you don’t have a pass rush?
Let’s draft a LB or DE w/ our 3rd rounder.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
I’m sure Reggie will find an udrafted RB in this years draft.

Here we go again. We drafted two DB’s last year in Rounds 3 and 4 and have signed 3 CB’s/DB’s so far.
Why do the Raiders need to draft another CB in Round 3 again?
Lets get some OLB’s/DE’s and some NT/DT’s on this team!
March 26th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Spencer, Bartell, DVD and Chekwa are EASILY one of the worst set of DB’s in the NFL, at least for 2012, unless Bartell and Spencer waaaaay exceed their career’s so far, and DVD and Chekwa take massive leaps in year 2.
We will draft a DB, hell maybe 2.

Because you need at least 2 if not 3 good corner in today’s NFL. I am not sure we even have one good corner right now.
You don’t think ALL AFC West teams are going to load up on DB’s now that Peyton is in the division?

Yeah, hope we don’t draft those two CB’s until Rounds 5 and 6! haha
DVD and Chekwa are still young and to early to give up on already. Jesus, they were 3rd and 4th round picks and still need time.
Why draft and 3rd Round CB and to just add him to the rotation and hope he stands out among the rest?
We need some beast football player LB’s/DE’s and a solid NT/DT to evantually replace Kelly and or Seymour to to help stuff the run.
The draft is deep at OLB/DE and DLine this year. There will still be good football players at those positions when the Raiders draft in Rounds 3 and 4.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
I don’t think The Reggie will factor in what has happened here in the past, as far as previous drafts and what not.
You saw it with some of the waives and roster moves already. He is starting over.
He will draft whatever player he wants, and not worry about whether we drafted DVD or Pryor or McClain or whoever previously.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I love our comps. Now we will give RM something to do his magic.

Money has been spent in FA adding players to the CB/DB position. They may not be high end superstars, but it still has been money spent on that position, whether you like those players Reggie signed or not.
Reggie won’t throw away a draft pick on another CB at the end of Round 3.
Count on it!
March 26th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
There will be much better football players available at a number of different positions, than at freakin CB with that end of Round 3 pick!
March 26th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
DVD and Chekwa are still young and to early to give up on already. Jesus, they were 3rd and 4th round picks and still need time.
***********************
Not giving up on them.
I do think Chekwa will be a starter.
I am OK if the DB’s are later, I just think we need to keep trying to get some quality DB’s, because in reality, we may not have any right now.
I don’t think we will draft anyone for the D-line, besides a nickle pass rusher like a Brooks Reed or something. A speed-rusher type. We got a lot of moving parts there, and Seymour and Kelly ARE CLEARLY going to be prominently involved again this year, since we did not release either.
March 26th, 2012 at 3:23 pm

CAn’t really count on Bartell with his injuries, and Spencer is not a great option as a starter at this stage in his career.

That Round 3 pick should be going towards at OLB/DE versatile 4-3, 3-4 player or a beast two gapper NT/DT.
Maybe even a DT/DE type 5 technique.

We need to go out and try to aquire QB Drew Stanton from the NY Jets as Palmer back-up. Stanton wants out since the Jets got Tebow.
