What Raiders can expect from this year’s draft class
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 at 11:21 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders aren’t scheduled to make their first selection in this year’s NFL draft until the final pick of the third round, at No. 95 overall. In total, they have five picks as of now, including three compensatory selections.
That got us thinking, how did the teams fare last year with the comparable selections that the Raiders have this year. In short, the only player selected at the draft spots the Raiders hold right now that did anything of note was Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore.
Moore was selected in the fifth round, at No. 148. Coincidentally, that’s one of the spots the Raiders pick this year, too. Here’s the breakdown of the players selected last year at the draft spots the Raiders have this year:
95 – Curtis Brown, defensive back, Texas, Steelers
128 – Julius Thomas, tight end, Portland State, Broncos
148 – Denarius Moore, wide receiver, Tennessee, Raiders
168 – Demarcus Love, offensive line, Arkansas, Vikings
189 – Mike Mohamed, linebacker, Cal, Broncos
Brown played in 12 games for the Steelers. During those games, he posted 14 tackles and forced one fumble.
Thomas appeared in five games for the Broncos last season. He caught one pass for 5 yards.
Love didn’t appear in any games for the Vikings.
Mohamed played in two games for the Broncos, but he didn’t make any tackles or post any stats.
Moore burst onto the scene right away, securing meaningful playing time from the outset of the season. He started 10 of the 13 games he played and caught 33 passes for 618 yards and five touchdowns.
So, an unscientific look at where the Raiders pick this year shows that there are quality players available, even if the hit rate isn’t anywhere near as high as in the earlier rounds.
The key is, identifying those players and hoping they are available when the Raiders pick.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Falcons have agreed to terms with CB Asante Samuel on a three-year, $18.5 million contract.

$6 million per was too rich for us anyways, even if we had expressed interest!

Cant wait to see what D.Moore will do this year. He will be Palmer’s number 1 target. Also like to see a healthy Ford and see DHB have another breakout season. We could use pryor in wildcat situations like vick was used in philly with mcnabb at qb. This offense is going to be sick!!! RAIDER NATION!!!

Two NFL sources balk at NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora’s speculation that Giants DE Osi Umenyiora could be had for a third-round pick this week.
Although Umenyiora acknowledged Wednesday that there’s a “chance” of a trade during the draft, the two sources maintain that nothing is “imminent” on that front. During a radio interview this week, Umenyiora stated that he’s looking for a new contract in the neighborhood of four years and $40 million, between the recent deals signed by Robert Mathis (four years, $36 million) and Trent Cole (four years, $48 million).

the key is taking a chance on player measurables…at these rounds it would be low risk high reward….go after speed, size and strength
April 25th, 2012 at 11:41 am
According to Sporting News’ Russ Lande, Tennessee DL Malik Jackson has particularly appealed to 3-4 teams as a possible five-technique defensive end, and projects as a third- or fourth-round pick.
A longtime favorite of Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris, Jackson has a prototype five-technique body at 6-foot-6, 284 with nearly 34-inch arms. He is an effective interior pass rusher who plays relentlessly versus the run. Lande also pegs Jackson as a potential “two-gap” 4-3 tackle with starting potential.

I wonder if Reggie’s been eyeing this kid?
April 25th, 2012 at 11:41 am
Course the biggest difference between this draft and previous ones for us is that we’re not locked to getting the fastest player available or the combine freak. I thought I could understand where AD was coming from with his picks, it is easier to teach football to a speedster than teach speed to a baller, but not always.
This could be the most relaxing draft for me since Ron Wolf & Bruce Allen were on the payroll. AD seemed to listen to their advice & counsel. He did whatever he wanted, of course, but was getting solid input.
Good luck Reggie, make us proud!

April 25th, 2012 at 11:48 am
Falcons acquired CB Asante Samuel from the Eagles in exchange for a late-round draft pick.
The pick is believed to be a 2012 sixth-rounder (6.22), leaving Atlanta with just five selections in the 2012 draft, and none before the 55th choice. Samuel will presumably slide in at left cornerback, with Brent Grimes seeing slot work and Dunta Robinson manning the right side. Still a playmaker at age 31, Samuel has earned a Pro Bowl berth in four of the past five seasons while averaging 6.5 interceptions over the last six. The Falcons haven’t upgraded their pass rush much, but they absolutely have a good-looking secondary.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “some teams” view West Virginia OLB Bruce Irvin as “maybe” the top pass rusher in the draft.
Per Schefter, Irvin is “very desired around the league.” Irvin has elite athleticism, but was already dealing with questions about his character before he was arrested for destruction of property the day after his March Pro Day. Despite his high-ceiling, he’s not in the first-round mix.
April 25th, 2012 at 12:49 pm

@95 draft markelle martin, FS OSU
then trade Huff to NYG for OSI or to TB for Blount
4/5/6 draft depth, NT, ILB, etc
then FA pickup Nick Collins, Billy Volek, QGroves, JMoss, TO/Plaxico. Said pick up Gio, already did.
Hoping that is what we do, or something close to that. still could trade Taiwan Jones also.
what you guys think?

In all honesty, I am really going to miss Al Davis doing the draft. It won’t be the same. Though I like the new direction of the franchise, I will miss the coach.

At least Al was spared having to watch the quitter DMAC ruin our playoff run last year.
April 25th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
I think the team quit on HJ. I’m going to miss my reaction of WTF when they announce the pick. Out of the last 5 years, I wanted DMAC and for some reason McClain.
April 25th, 2012 at 1:22 pm

I watch zero collage ball unless it’s UNR.
So I will go with the popular vote and say Chapman. We do need some young beef in the middle.

Love the fact that the NFL Ticket is only $199.99…I might have to order Direct TV now!
Cheaper than season tickets…but nothing like going to a Raider game in Oakland!

How can anyone ever deny how great Coach Davis was. Even in his last dreft he had the acumen to draft the great Denarius Moore. The man had it all til the end.
And if anyone ever wants to criticize Coach for taking JaRussell, well, any of the other 31 teams would have taken him #1. We just happened to have the #1 pick that year. Russell could throw the ball a country mile. Who woulda thought he couldn’t play football.
And the team that Coach built last year shoulda been in the post season. Not Coachs’ fault the defense shat the bed.

What Raiders can expect from this year’s draft class
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 at 11:21 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders aren’t scheduled to make their first selection in this year’s NFL draft until the final pick of the third round, at No. 95 overall. In total, they have five picks as of now, including three compensatory selections.
That got us thinking, how did the teams fare last year with the comparable selections that the Raiders have this year. In short, the only player selected at the draft spots the Raiders hold right now that did anything of note was Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore.
Moore was selected in the fifth round, at No. 148. Coincidentally, that’s one of the spots the Raiders pick this year, too. Here’s the breakdown of the players selected last year at the draft spots the Raiders have this year:
95 – Curtis Brown, defensive back, Texas, Steelers
128 – Julius Thomas, tight end, Portland State, Broncos
148 – Denarius Moore, wide receiver, Tennessee, Raiders
168 – Demarcus Love, offensive line, Arkansas, Vikings
189 – Mike Mohamed, linebacker, Cal, Broncos
Brown played in 12 games for the Steelers. During those games, he posted 14 tackles and forced one fumble.
Thomas appeared in five games for the Broncos last season. He caught one pass for 5 yards.
Love didn’t appear in any games for the Vikings.
Mohamed played in two games for the Broncos, but he didn’t make any tackles or post any stats.
Moore burst onto the scene right away, securing meaningful playing time from the outset of the season. He started 10 of the 13 games he played and caught 33 passes for 618 yards and five touchdowns.
So, an unscientific look at where the Raiders pick this year shows that there are quality players available, even if the hit rate isn’t anywhere near as high as in the earlier rounds.
The key is, identifying those players and hoping they are available when the Raiders pick.

How can anyone ever deny how great Coach Davis was. Even in his last dreft he had the acumen to draft the great Denarius Moore. The man had it all til the end.
And if anyone ever wants to criticize Coach for taking JaRussell, well, any of the other 31 teams would have taken him #1. We just happened to have the #1 pick that year. Russell could throw the ball a country mile. Who woulda thought he couldn’t play football.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Five Gallon,
AD (Coach) was a pathetic and demented man at end whose genius fled, along with his common sense.
Anyone who studied the players and created a draft board would have spotted Moore right away. Can you prove that Moore was picked exclusively by AD ?? Doubtful.
AD’s mis-reading of JMAR was as lame as it gets; go back to that year’s draft and read his “negatives.” If one witnesses JMAR speaking that is measure enough to know he was self-deluded into thinking he was already NFL ready. Further, JMAR’s enablers, AD included, contributed to his demise in the NFL. AD’s calling out of Kiffen on JAMR, was proof AL misread JMAR, even after almost total non-performance on the field on JMAR’s part.
To take it to the extreme, let’s presume AL gave the decision to draft McClain. Go back and look at McClain’s performance for the Crimson Tide, which looks much the same as his performance on field now. I put no credence in what McClain’s college coach’s praises, “He’s a coach on field” , “The smartest defensive player I have ever seen of defense”.
McClain is fat in his lower body, slow, misreads plays, is constantly out of position, and hasn’t the intelligence to play in the NFL, evidenced by the fact he was, and probably still is, tangled up in “gunplay in the ghetto” thus jeopardizing a $40M personal services contract with the Raiders.
Your presumption is fallacious my friend; look deeper at the difference between AL’s early years, and middle years, where he possesses the attributes you describe. As far as the latter years, AD simply lost it and let the game pass him by; he couldn’t accept he was too old and too out of it the run the club.

KrappyRat, I know you just love to use the word stalker as much as you can in your tattletale love letters to Becker.
Which means when you’re on the blog day and night and someone bags on you, it’s not really stalking, yes?
Man, you narcs are so sensitive
April 25th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
5 gallon: don’t think anyone here is denying AD’s rightful legacy as one of, if not the, most brilliant minds in the NFL. Hell, he and Hunt are responsible for the NFL. Those of us who were around when he browbeat the Commissoner into submission, moved his team without permission and all the other great things- and rings- he accomplished won him support for life in my book. it is just that towards the end he was acting a lot like my crazy uncle. I loved and respected the man even more for it. Go down gambling and you may never have to go!
As to where he ended up, I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure he’s kicking @ss and taking names.
April 25th, 2012 at 2:34 pm
Yo, where’s Bad News Dude?
Homie, just wondering if you sent in KrappyRat’s vulgar raps to Becker yet.

Pre-Draft Hype – JaMarcus Russel
“He has a cannon for an arm, can make all the throws and has great size. Heck, he looks like a tackle playing quarterback. I just don’t see the pinpoint passing, the great timing of the throws or his feel for the pocket. He’s careless with the ball, at times, and he struggled against the better college defenses. Can he develop into a quality NFL quarterback? You bet. Would I take him with the first overall pick? No way. As of now, I have him rated at the 20th-best player.”

Pre-Draft Hype – JaMarcus Russel
“He has a cannon for an arm, can make all the throws and has great size. Heck, he looks like a tackle playing quarterback. I just don’t see the pinpoint passing, the great timing of the throws or his feel for the pocket. He’s careless with the ball, at times, and he struggled against the better college defenses. Can he develop into a quality NFL quarterback? You bet. Would I take him with the first overall pick? No way. As of now, I have him rated at the 20th-best player.”

April 25th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
from warroomreport.com:
Russell still must work on reading defenses better. At times he exhibits too much confidence in his arm, forcing the ball into spots and leading to turnovers. For a player projected as the #1 QB in the draft and who is getting compared to prospects like Vince Young or Peyton Manning, Russell did not dominate in college, despite having two first day picks at WR.

According to Sporting News’ Russ Lande, Tennessee DL Malik Jackson has particularly appealed to 3-4 teams as a possible five-technique defensive end, and projects as a third- or fourth-round pick.
A longtime favorite of Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris, Jackson has a prototype five-technique body at 6-foot-6, 284 with nearly 34-inch arms. He is an effective interior pass rusher who plays relentlessly versus the run. Lande also pegs Jackson as a potential “two-gap” 4-3 tackle with starting potential.

I wonder if Reggie’s been eyeing this kid?
^^^^^^^
DE Malik Jackson would be a solid pick for McK at #95 also. Can play as a DE in a 3-4 as a DE in 4-3 and DT in some passing downs in a 4-3. Versatility is important.
Plus, Jackson played at McK alma mater Tennesee.

Man, if Turbin is there at #95, it’s going to be hard for McK and Allen to pass him up.
He will probably be considered the best overall player at that point in the draft.
He can become a valuable weapon for Raiders in case DMC gets hurt and McK and Allen would be set at the RB position for years.
Then again, a power RB like Ganaway can be had later in Round 5.

He had a pretty good reputation of drafting good players.

Few teams have drafted as well as the Ravens in recent years. But in a reminder of just how hard it is to get draft evaluations right every time, the former coach of the Ravens said this morning that one of the biggest draft busts in history was also the player the Ravens liked the best.
Brian Billick said on ESPN Radio that in his nine years as head coach of the Ravens, the highest grade Baltimore ever had on any player heading into the draft was in 2007, and the player wasn’t that year’s No. 2 overall pick, Calvin Johnson. It was that year’s No. 1 overall pick, JaMarcus Russell.
“We did a pretty decent job, and obviously they continue to do a phenomenal job in Baltimore, with Ozzie Newsome and his group,” Billick said. “JaMarcus Russell was the highest-rated player I’ve ever seen on any of our boards. So we all missed on JaMarcus Russell. Make no mistake.”

There was a great article years back about how the scouts wanted Bob Sanders, yet Davis simply asked them who the hardest-hitting safety was. When they replied Derrick Gibson, that’s who was drafted, despite the scouts’ protest about Gibson’s lack of play-making ability.

- I wonder if Reggie’s been eyeing this kid?.
——————————————————-
I have!…
Malik Jackson and Texas LB Emmanuel Acho were the first 2 players I liked when I started looking at the Draft three weeks ago.
Marley Bob Says:
April 3rd, 2012 at 12:05 am
I’ll name a couple of players that intrigue me, none of them project as 3rd round picks:
Texas LB Emmanuel Acho 6′2 238, probably can be had with our 4th but may rise, I think he’s at least worth considering at 95:
- Really like this kid, athletic, good size, smarts, bloodlines and intangibles, I think he’s really underrated.
From cbs.com and the national football post:
“Isn’t a dynamic straight-line athlete, but plays faster because of instincts.
Is a good tackler, can shed blocks and plays stronger than his frame would indicate.
Has the versatility to play a number of spots in a 4-3 scheme or get some looks inside in a 34. Looks like a potential starter in the NFL either way.”
“Acho has the same strong character and production his brother [Sam, a 2011 fourth-round pick] did coming into last year’s draft process, but Sam fell a bit in the draft because scouts weren’t sure if his best NFL fit was as a 4-3 end or 3-4 linebacker.
There’s no question with Emmanuel, whose athleticism and versatility should make him a top 100 pick for 4-3 teams as a chase second-level defender.”
- Tennessee’s DE Malik Jackson 6′4 284, may be worth a 4th or 5th, could drop to 6th:
This kid is more of a gamble, but has potential and versatility, keep in mind his evaluations come as an out of position 270 pound DT last season and he still made 2nd team All-SEC, anyway he projects as an End in the NFL, a LDE in a 4-3 I would say.
He comes from McKenzie’s school so I’m sure he can find out if the guy is worth a look.
Some bits from cbs.com and nfp.com:
“Impression: A great looking athlete. Has some real work to do from a technique standpoint and is playing out of position at Tennessee. However, has a lot of upside as a DE both in a 43 and 34 front in the NFL and looks like a really intriguing developmental defensive lineman at this stage with a good bit up upside long term.”
“The 6-5 Jackson weighed in at 284 pounds in Indianapolis a few weeks ago but added six pounds since. Despite the added bulk, according to a source at the workout, Jackson showed good athleticism in defensive line drills run by a member of the New Orleans Saints.
The fact that he’s steadily improved while adding weight and appears to have the frame even more mass is sure to intrigue scouts. Some believe that because of his height and relatively long arms (33 3/4″) he’s a natural candidate as a developmental 3-4 defensive end.
Jackson is a highly-cut athlete with a versatile skill-set and saw time inside and outside in college, but looks more natural as an end. He played 95 percent of his snaps at tackle for the Volunteers, which limited his effectiveness and production playing out of position.
Jackson showed steady improvement over his career and his best football looks to be ahead of him – Tennessee coaches rave about his ability.”
…………………………………………….
But seriously, Reggie should know all about that kid and he’ll have a chance to grab him, I’d say in round 4, so if he thinks the kid is any good he can have him.
April 25th, 2012 at 4:06 pm

Al Davis handled 1st rounders, and allowed coaches / scouts to have much more say the rest of the draft.
We found most of our top players…later in the draft.
It’s what the people who have been in the draft room have admitted.
It’s why we were allowed to draft non-height-speed-strength guys after the first round (Tui, Zach Miller, “slow” CB Chekwa, “undersized” high-motor Houston, “slow” Kirk Morrison…
—————————————————–
That’s just wrong.
But just for kicks, who has admitted such a thing?.
By the way, your “slow” Chekwa was a 4.40 guy, a top 10 time overall in last year’s combine.
Lamarr Houston’s was one of the most athletic DL available, certainly the best athlete at DT.
And what about DeMarcus Van Dyke, Jacoby Ford, Taiwan Jones, Stanford Routt, Carlos Francis,Tyvon Branch and other speedsters drafted after round 1?.
Al ran the draft, everybody knows it, for good and bad.

Contrary to popular belief, I think Josh Chapman won’t be available at 95.
Other teams can afford to gamble a 3rd round pick on Chapman and his troubled knee because they have already selected two players in rounds 1-2,some teams will have three, those players will be expected to carry their Draft, it makes their 3rd rounder less “relevant”, as long as they hit home-runs on rounds 1-2 (at least in their own eyes), it won’t matter as much if they risk their 3rd on a high-risk high-reward kid like Chapman.
We don’t have that luxury.

April 25th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
agreed, that’s why i think Turbin would be the best pick/ Irvin and Chapman both could be solid contributors, but have risks.
Not to mention Turbin has potential to be every down back
Dmc has only this year and an optional next year, Goodson is a 1 yr deal, Jones will be a excellent complimentary back.
April 25th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Kirk
The same point that I’ve been making all along. Our picks didn’t just vanish we got a starting QB, a player in TP who I think will develop into a pretty good QB, a starting RT, a starting LB, a backup RB, and a QB that helped our young WRs develop before departing

The drama continues.
There are two basic truths, and both are missing here; however KK is receiving too much credit for Dawg’s banishment.
I said this before and I’ll say it again.
First truth: I doubt that Corky and the mods care about KK and Dawg’s dispute. It’s lightweight stuff. What will really get a poster banned here comes from race baiting, completely disrespectful statements regarding the Raiders, spewing of hateful and scurrilous statements about our team, and finally, possible unlawful acts.
Second Truth: Dawg did none of the above, except solicit phone numbers for prostitutes, which may be unlawful. Therefore it follows that if Bay Area News Group did nothing to stem such solicitation, News Group would be ratifying illegal acts, be in collusion with Dawg, and also would be risking criminal accomplice liability and possibly FCC sanctions.
When Dawg solicitated the same numbers, I shook my head and said aloud, “Uh-oh!”
Now the weird dude KK jumped right on that and squealed to Corky and his crew, and so Dawg had to be banished.
Under AL D. Davis my postings were horrendously scurrilous and led, in part, to Corky’s original clamp-down. What Dawg has posted in the past couldn’t compare to the posts of AL D. Davis whatsoever. Much of the terrible stuff Al D. Davis spewed was pure garbage.
In AL D. Davis’ defense, nothing was posted that most posters weren’t thinking and wanted to say, but couldn’t bring themselves to post it. One example is that AL D. Davis made numerous outrageous parodies about JC, who was receiving elite status accolades by many posters; He was a schlub and only backup material. Al D. Davis was hammered and hammered hard for the parodies concerning JC. In the end JC left for free agency and signed as back-up QB, after a single day.
Dawg never got into anything that vicious mainly because he has a kind heart, unlike AL D. Davis.
As for KK, just concerning the garbage he elicted in his vile lyrics – he should be permanently banned.

We had Randy Moss at the time and needed a QB so Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss as receivers with no Q was probably not really in the cards. And as someone up above wrote, Ozzie Newsome had Jamarcus Russell as the highest rated player EVER on their board. We had to take Russell. Unfortunately.

April 25th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
We had Moss and should have taken Johnson.Sure take a WR every year.It worked so well for Millen in Detroit didn’t it!If the bust had turned into the player most thought he’d be all you naysayers would be here saying you knew he’d be great and were glad we picked him over everyone else.

“Prior to the 2007 season, rumors surfaced about a potential trade involving Rodgers in which he would be traded to the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Randy Moss.[38] However, Moss was traded to the New England Patriots during the second day of the 2007 NFL Draft, and Rodgers stayed in Green Bay.”

A trade (almost)
When trades are made, there may be two negotiations: one about trade compensation, and one about financial compensation.
In 2007, the Raiders made Randy Moss available. We were interested provided we could agree on trade terms and compensation. The Patriots were interested, too.
Moss demanded a one-year deal so he could hit the market after the season and recoup some lost value, but we insisted on a two-year deal. We did not want to be a temporary stop for him before he made another big contract elsewhere. When New England relented on the one-year term, Moss was a Patriot.
Favre was livid. I spent the rest of the draft listening to Bus Cook, his agent, express Favre’s anger, along with threats to not show up. I knew Favre had long dreamed of playing with Moss, but I told him that Greg Jennings would be a star in time. Favre said he didn’t have time. I explained our method of drafting and developing players, but it only served to deepen his resentment of a general manager who did not welcome his input the way previous regimes had.

How can anyone ever deny how great Coach Davis was. Even in his last dreft he had the acumen to draft the great Denarius Moore. The man had it all til the end.
And if anyone ever wants to criticize Coach for taking JaRussell, well, any of the other 31 teams would have taken him #1. We just happened to have the #1 pick that year. Russell could throw the ball a country mile. Who woulda thought he couldn’t play football.
And the team that Coach built last year shoulda been in the post season. Not Coachs’ fault the defense shat the bed.
============================
I’d argue that. I think that he definitely had some good things going (including some good picks the last few drafts). But, also he had some bad things going.
It is LARGELY “Coach’s fault” that the defense shat last season, as he was the one that brought in Bresnehan to run it.
Any self-respecting owner wouldn’t have stooped that low, or forced such a thing upon his Head Coach. It’s like setting the team up for failure before it even began.

Randy rumors rampant
Lane Kiffin left Atlanta following the Pro Day of Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson Thursday afternoon as rumors swirled that the Raiders were on the verge of dealing wide receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers.
According to the Boston Herald, the Raiders would also ship tight end Courtney Anderson to Green Bay. In return, Oakland would receive backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a seventh-round draft pick.
The Green Bay Press Gazette countered with a story which said outgoing Packers CEO Bob Harlan said no deal is imminent.
Harlan said he had not heard a word regarding a deal from general manager Ted Thompson. “If it was that close, (Thompson) would have called us by now.”
All the while, Profootballtalk.com has continued to update the Moss-to-Packers scenario, having first broached Rodgers’ potential involvement days ago.
If the Raiders were to receive Rodgers and a No. 7 for Moss and Anderson, it would be a fairly unprecedented dump job by Davis of a substantial talent. More importantly, it would be evidence Davis’ priority is to give his young coach an environenment more conducive to success.
But whatever the Raiders don’t get in a Packers deal, their position as the top team in the draft becomes even more valuable. They could either get the player they want, or allow suitors to throw players and draft picks their way for the right to select JaMarcus Russell or Johnson, generally considered the top two talents in the draft.
As for Rodgers, he seems to have more detractors than supporters. But if this deal were to be made, it would be clear Kiffin thinks Rodgers has enough skill to at least compete with Andrew Walter for the starting job in 2007 based on his own observations while Kiffin was USC and Rodgers was at Cal.
Whether he’s right or wrong is not the point. Any play-calling coach ought to be able to pick his own quarterback.
Right now, only Kiffin knows what he prefers. Based on his close-to-the-vest interviews at the LSU workout Wednesday, he has already mastered the art of the dodge.”

232. Russell could play. He choose not to. Big difference.
I agree that Bres, like every single other thing done by the Raiders since 1963 was Al Davis’ doing but the old man dying last season can’t be held responsible for the injuries, pizz poor timing on substitutions , D play calls and personell at critical times.
Thats on the guy Al picked to run the D.
Not sure if people will ever understand the Davis D. Green Bay, New England and the Giants do.
They posted the worst, the 2nd worst and the the 27th worst Defenses and all excelled last season because they kniow D stats mean shazzah.
Critical plays that win games are paramount and thats they tyope of D were STILL going to be looking at with Reggie ball.
April 25th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
I never said that Plunkett was a Wolf pick. I meant that Flores recommended that he be picked up off the scrap heap.

I can buy that Lane had enough pull, at least during his first few months on the job, to get Al to gauge league-wide interest on Moss, but no way Al let Lane, or any other coach, play GM and cook up trades with other teams.
Andrew Brandt made it clear, he said the Raiders made Randy Moss available, not that we specifically offered him for Rodgers or anyone on their team, it was most likely GB who came asking about what it would take to get him since Favre wanted him so bad.
April 25th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
240. Wikipedia?! YOU could;ve written that! lol!
Matt Flynn showed Rodgers, like Gannon, was a system QB. Even if “Lance” had gotten him he may not have been the same performer for us as he has been for GB.
Kiffin may have had a bead on Rodgers, I don’t know, but he also signed Hall, Walker and others.

Dude.
“… as rumors swirled that the Raiders were on the verge of dealing wide receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers.

——————————————————
That does not contradict my point.
If a deal was in the works, Al Davis was the one making it, not Lane.
And it was likely GB, at Favre’s request, contacting the Raiders and not the other way around.
April 25th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
Lane wasnt even allowed to sign up his own dad. A hof coach…. What does that tell you?
April 25th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
ProFootballTalk.com is reporting of a rumored trade that would send Oakland Raiders receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Apparently trade talks between the Raiders and Packers for Moss are back on again. This rumor has the Raiders asking for a first rounder for Moss and the Packers countering with Aaron Rodgers

April 25th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
I meant he wasn’t a Flores pick.Davis controlled the roster and if someone was added it was he who brought the guy in.I will concede he wanted Pastorini over Plunkett.Thankfully,Pastorini broke his leg.You jumped into the middle of the conversation and are trying to make this an Al Davis good or bad issue.That isn’t how this started.We were discussing the draft and the fact that usually,again usually, Davis drafted prospects in the 1st round that were considered sure bets.
April 25th, 2012 at 6:18 pm
So I expect an apology from everyone of you dudes that dissed me when I said “Lance wanted Aaron Rodgers” cause that info can be found right here in the archive of this web site.
For those of you who don’t know Lance was always trying to “outflank” AD and that is one of the things Al hated about him. The ink wasn’t dry on Lances’ contract before he tried going around Al. HueJax had to wait for Al to pass on before getting jiggy wit it. Lance did it while AD was still kicking.
One thing that can’t be said about Lance would be that he doesn’t have any balls.

That was a rumor, yes we were talking to greenbay, I already posted that. Was it for Rodgers, Who they started the very next year over there hall of fame QB? Pure speculation and I highly doubt it. Anyway, it sounds like we were really close to some type of deal with them from the article I posted, but to say Lame was the one doing the deal is laughable.

Of course it doesn’t say it was Al’s idea either does it? Maybe the idea was Santa’s. Maybe the Eater Bunny made the play? Oooh, and don’t forget the Tooth Fairy. That beyotch is fricken devious.

Show the man some love and respect. He was and is the Raiders. He made the Raiders. Thats why you love the Raiders. Al Davis gets under your skin way to much. Just respect the man for making the Raiders. I must take the good with the bad. No question about it. But Coach is still the man.
