Raiders should trade for Jenkins

By Steve Corkran
Friday, April 27th, 2012 at 1:31 pm in Oakland Raiders.

It would be easy to envision Al Davis making a huge splash by trading for Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney or Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora were he still around to make the calls for the Raiders.
However, this is a new era under general manager Reggie McKenize and owner Mark Davis. Therefore, big splashes aren’t as likely, at least for now.
That doesn’t mean the Raiders can’t make some small waves. What better way to do so than to trade for Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins?
The Cowboys reportedly are interested in dealing Jenkins in light of their signing Brandon Carr in free agency and selecting Morris Claiborne with the sixth pick of the NFL draft Thursday night.
Some reports say the Cowboys might part ways with Jenkins for as little as a fifth-round draft pick. It just so happens that the Raiders have a fifth-rounder that they can trade — that’s one of only two picks they have this year that can be traded.
Sure, the Raiders signed veteran cornerbacks Shawntae Spencer and Ron Bartell in free agency, as well as Pat Lee. They also have second-year players Chimdi Chekwa and DeMarcus Van Dyke, as well as Brandon Underwood, on their roster, too.
Jenkins was a first-round draft pick in 2008. He intercepted one pass and tied for the team lead with 10 passes broken up last season.
He is projected to be the No. 4 cornerback in Dallas. He could compete for a starting spot with the Raiders, no doubt. So, why not take a flier on a player who once was regarded enough to be taken in the first round?
It’s unlikely that the Raiders can find a comparable cornerback in the fifth round, if at all, in this year’s draft. Al Davis would have pulled the trigger on such a move, regardless if it meant dipping into next year’s draft bounty.
It remains to be seen whether McKenzie is as interested in making a bold move in hopes of turning someone else’s afterthought into a dependable player.

    Man, I thought he meant Janoris.

    I’ll pass on Mike.

    Great Idea Steve. I like it.
    I would offer a 6th.

    This is from Vic Tafur at the Chron on the 19th…

    Here is my list of which prospects have visited the Raiders and where/if general manager Reggie McKenzie may try and get them in next week’s draft (in alphabetical order). Oakland doesn’t pick until No. 95 in the third round:

    USC defensive end Armond Armstead — He missed the 2001 season due to illness (chest pains) and was a late addition to the draft after choosing not to remain at USC or transfer to another program. He is 6-4, 294 and was dominant at times during the 2010 season. Good late-round reach.

    East Carolina offensive tackle Steven Baker – He’s 6-foot-7, 301 pounds, ran a 4.91 40. Poor man’s Bruce Campbell might go in sixth or seventh round or else be free agent.

    Iowa safety Jordan Bernstine – Return specialist ran the 40-yard dash in 4.34 and 4.38 seconds at his campus Pro Day workout. Lot of injuries in college. 7th-rounder probably moving to cornerback.

    Utah cornerback Conroy Black — Mel Kiper ranks Black as 47th-best CB prospect and Bernstine 50th. Black is 5-11, 181 and ran a 4.49, tied for most interceptions in Pac-12 with four. Utah has sent five defensive backs to NFL in last three years.

    Houston outside linebacker Sammy Brown — Fifth-round target? He doesn’t have explosive burst, scouts say, but he just makes plays. Led the nation with 30 tackles for a loss. He’s 6-2, 240 and has good instincts.

    James Madison outside linebacker D.J. Bryant – Possible free agent could be developed as pass-rushing specialist. All-conference but scouts think he will have trouble at point of attack in NFL.

    Morgan State tight end Lamont Bryant — 4.45 40 might get project drafted. A lot of teams ready with post-draft free-agent offers.

    Nevada defensive end Kaelin Burnett — Ran a 4.55 at his pro day last month and might be looked at as outside linebacker. He didn’t become a starter at Nevada until his senior year. The 6-4, 238 -pound Burnett overcame a hip injury and had 51 tackles, eight tackles for loss and five sacks in 13 games. Free agent.

    Beloit receiver Derek Carrier — Mel Kiper’s 61st-rated receiver, he is a big kid — 6-foot-3 and 238. He ran a 4.55 40, had a 40-inch vertical jump and a three-cone run of 6.69 seconds (which would have been second for WRs at the combine). He also produced at the Division III school. He caught 75 passes for 1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. Go ahead and highlight this one. Carrier would be a nice get in Round 6.

    Alabama defensive tackle Josh Chapman — It’s looking like this 6-foot, 310-pound space eater may be there for the Raiders at No. 95. Chapman is coming off a major knee injury, but when healthy has the body type to get low, plug the middle and let teammates make plays around him. We’ll see how serious Raiders are about playing more 3-4 this season.

    UCLA running back Derrick Coleman — At 6-feet, 235, the hearing-impaired Coleman is a pile mover with decent quickness. Replacement for Michael Bush might be there in Round 5 or 6.

    South Florida defensive end Claude Davis – Ranked 111th at DE by Kiper, Davis is 6-1, 229, ran a 4.68 and is being looked at as a linebacker project. Coming off knee surgery. Likely free agent but there are whispers that Patriots coach Bill Belichick likes him.

    UCLA safety Tony Dye – Looked like big-time player as a safety but regressed last two years. Also had back and ankle injuries last season. Moves well, bad instincts is the scouting report. Free agent.

    Vanderbilt defensive end Tim Fugger — Put a star by this one. Future outside linebacker could go in fifth round and play right away as pass-rush specialist. 6-3, 260, 4.73. Projected to go in 5th round.

    Slippery Rock receiver Devin Goda – 6-2, three-year starter whose lack of burst probably has him catching on as free agent.

    Albion cornerback Chris Greenwood – 6-1, 189 and likely headed to safety at the next level. He may have jumped up to fifth round with Pro Day showing last month (4.34 40, vertical jump of 43 inches and a broad jump of 11-foot-2.)

    Washington State outside linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis — Fast and fiery, but often eaten up by blocks in college. Free agent could make an impact on special teams.

    Tennessee inside linebacker Austin Johnson – Strictly a run defender and possible free agent.

  6. Nnamdi21 Says:

    Agree that Davis would’ve lept at Mike Jenkins if for no other reason it would add another 1st rounder to his roster.

  7. LakeNormanRaider Says:

    Yes, interesting idea Jerry. However, I wish to point out that given Martin was a 1st round pick in 2008, doesn’t mean much four years later when he is projected to be the 4th Cornerback for the Cowboys this season. You could leave that part out :-)

  8. LakeNormanRaider Says:

    Not sure if the Cowboys other 3 CB’s are that good to put a former 1st rounder into 4th spot. If so, then maybe its a good thing to take a stab at.

  9. Area man Says:

    No future in playing WWAD (What Would Al Do?). Other than draft the fastest player avialable of course.

  10. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    Steve…..try again!

  11. John David Booty Says:

    Armstead (FIGHT ON!) was a beast in 2010, and we expected him to be big huge for us last season, he was gonna start at DT. And I will say that him not playing may have cost us at least one win last season, but thats another story. I think Armstead would be good on the 5th or 6th. He can play anywhere on the line, and would be good depth for right now.

  12. hwnrdr Says:

    Interesting but I don’t know…is Jerry Jones really gonna give him up?

  13. LakeNormanRaider Says:

    Al Davis is dead. Former 1st rounders mean nothing to BigMac. The Corner position was Dallas worst area on the D side. No thanks.

    Armstead was held out his senior year for undisclosed health reasons. Anybody ever find out why?

    Try as I might, I just am not too enthusiastic about any NFL draft. Yes, I care about who the Raiders get, but these are all untried guys, most of whom won’t work out. Is it just me, or is anyone else not all that worked up about this thing?

    Maybe it is the silly way the NFL handles the draftees at the TV studio. The athletes kind of come off like animals at the aquarium.

    ———————————————–
    There was a concern about his heart, but he has been cleared. They were extra sensitive and careful with him and didnt want to risk anything.

  21. Hardline Says:

    Mike Jenson was injured last year and rehabbed in the off-season, and may not yet be completely healthy.

    Jenson’s best year for the Cowboys came in 2009 when he started 16 games, had 45 solo tackles, with 5 INTs and 19 passes defended.

    His career stats over 4 yrs are 137 solo tackles, 40 passes defended and 8 INT’s, with a TD and a forced fumble.

    It seems that his performance was adequate and that possibly his value is worth a 5th round pick. Of course Dallas has sucked since Jenkins was drafted as a #1 pick in 2008, and has suffered through numerous incompetent DC’s, including the illustrious “Coach Ryan”.

    It might be that he can be coached up, and in the proper scheme, become a play-maker or even a game change. The foundation seems to be there for Jenkins, but who know if he can actually break out.

    His 2009 stats match the best year Nnamdi (the no shut down, shut down corner) had in 2006.

  22. Marks hair Says:

    We have too many half azzed dbs to evaluate & coach up already.

  23. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Jenkins showed too much quit in him in Wade’s last season there in Dallas to make me warm up to him.

    Some of the stunts he pulled on the field were inexcusable.

    Friend, I’ve watched this team since 1970, so I know all about Al’s legacy. He’s also responsible for the last 20 years of near futility.
    ##############################

    Yeah, that was a bummer. Most teams do not get close but we lost a SB, got cheated out of going to another title game with one of our best teams and maybe the next best team missed going to the SB when fatarse goose intentionally injured a player.

    That was a bummer in 92 when we came from behind and beat the Mules in overtime in the last game of the 93 season to get into the playoffs. I was at that game. What a blast that was. Then we beat them again in the playoffs before getting whipped by the bills.

    Playoffs in 90,91,93,00,01,02 and he had us on track again to make the playoffs last season and beyond.

    Cork is a f’n idiot.

    All he wants is cornerbacks and wide recievers.

    Combine that with the fact that he hates #85 and you wonder how Cork even hosts a chat and people find him credible.

    Championship teams are built from the inside out. Offensive and Defensive lines have always been and always will be the most important part of a team. Yet this douche wants us to get Mike Jenkins.

    Al Davis would be proud of Corky.

    Defensive lineman yes, offensive lineman no (as far as building through the draft).

    Look at where most of the O-lineman were drafted for the Saints, Colts with Peyton, Giants, Steelers.

    Bunch of mid-round picks and even some UDFA, with maybe one 1st or 2nd rounder mixed in.

    Before Pouncey, I think it had been over 10 years since the Steelers spend a 1st or 2nd rounder on an O-lineman.

    Giants are mostly comprised of 4th and 5th rounders. The Colts won a Super Bowl with a 2nd year LT who was a 6th round pick and played TE in college.

    I don’t see championship teams built inside-out OFFENSIVELY anymore. The Giants got 1st rounders at QB and WR and all in their secondary.

    But I agree on defense lineman. These championship teams invest a ton of top-tier draft picks on the D-line.

    Didn’t seem to stop them from being one of the best teams in football the last decade.

    The year they beat the Cardinals, their offensive line was horrendous.

  47. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Of course, you always have to improve your team. Not saying O-line isn’t important, but QB’s-RB’s and DB’s are running this league right now.

    The Giants won the Super Bowl with the worst rushing offense in football and a 27th ranked defense.

    But #2 ranked passing offense, and highest scoring team in the 4th quarter.

    Yeah. Raiders gotta be ready if Carson goes down. You see what happened to Chicago with Cutler. It cost ‘em a trip to the SB two yrs. ago and the playoffs last yr. when he went down. That’s why Chi. is so excited about Campbell.

    I was listening to Chi. sports radio yesterday and they asked Hub Arkush (of PFW) “If we had had Jason Campbell last year as our backup do the Bears make the playoffs?”

    Hub: “Absolutely”. “Jason Campbell is the best backup Bears could’ve hoped for”.

    Polian is a smart guy who had a lot of success.

    Again, nothing wrong with having a beast O-line, but if that is your best hand you won’t get very far in today’s NFL.

    Got to get value.

    I would trade TK for a 3rd or 4th if The Reggie was drafting an immediate replacement.

    But yes, don’t trade TK, and than use that pick on a TE. Don’t see that helping out immediately in any way.

  70. Just Fire Baby Says:

    So my ESPN draft tracker gets blocked by my companies filtering system, and these TV’s at Fridays are too damn small for my bad vision.

    Any type of updates on the picks will be greatly appreciated.

  71. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I would much rather have Jenkins than Bufict, if given the option.

    Probably not the best comparision due to Jenkins probably getting picked in the next 30 minutes, and Burfcit might not in the next 30 hours.

    But at least Jenkins balled out on the field, always. That’s the thing with Burfict, he wasn’t even really any good.

    Total Kimbo Slice youtube following. The guy in the pink hair I think has KO’d Burfict already.

  72. alex7 Says:

    don’t forget that IF you trade Kelly, you’re essentially “receiving” a full-year of Lamarr Houston in return, along with $5 million in savings, and whatever draft pick you actually gain in the trade.

    He’ll likely stay, and that’s fine, he’s a solid player. But there is a flip side to that coin.

  73. Lowdown_in_Beijing Says:

    Kelly had 10 fewer tackles than Huston.

    Henderson, who played sparingly, had 5 fewer tackles than Kelly.

    Bryant, 5 less tackles than Kelly, and 2 fewer sacks, as a non starter.

    Yup. I’m down with trading the old 31 year old.

    Damn, damn, my geographic disability, if only I were back in Alameda, I would hold sway.

    You got me Bush. Damn.

    Why would you trade a PROVEN Pro Bowl player for a 3rd round crap shoot? The Cheats took Alex McGee in the 3rd round a couple of years ago? Does that name ring a bell? Only if he is your waiter at your fave restaurant.

  75. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I think TK’s contract is FINALLY in-whack with his production.

    Be kind of stupid internally, to keep him around for years with a ridiculously bloated salary-cap number, and than finally schlepp him off once it gets more reasonable.

    Bryant, 5 less tackles than Kelly, and 2 fewer sacks, as a non starter.

    Yup. I’m down with trading the old 31 year old.

    Damn, damn, my geographic disability, if only I were back in Alameda, I would hold sway.

    You got me Bush. Damn.

    Why would you trade a PROVEN Pro Bowl player for a 3rd round crap shoot?

    **********************

    I trust The Reggie at this stage.

    I am a little iffy on this “PROVEN” Pro Bowler angle as well. He was an alternate, one of 8 years.

    He is a very good interior pass-rusher, one of the best in the biz actuallly. I am not into getting rid of him unless the value is in line (3rd round or so)

    Hes a #4 corner.. We have a few of those. No thanks.
    *****

    I second that emotion. We need a CB who can be starter calibre. We have plenty of #4 corners. Unless Jenkins was #4 due to bad fit in Dallas and projects to #2 as good fit for Raiders, take a chance on a guy in the draft (fairly deep in mid-late round CB ) and sign Jenkins after he gets cut

  82. alex7 Says:

    to break it down, IF you trade Kelly:

    Trade Kelly for…

    - a younger player (Houston) who is already performing at a HIGHER level.
    - $5 million in savings per year for the next two years.
    - More playing time from Desmond Bryant (near-equal talent)
    - An actual player (draft pick, possible run-stuffing DT).

    and you get rid of one part of the equation that has been part of our constant bottom-3 run defense for the last 7 years.

  83. John David Booty Says:

    I fully expect whoever we pick at 95 to be starting, come week 1 this season. Reggie has to nail this pick. I think he will. He’s got to want his first pick to be someone who can make an impact.

    No matter what, he will always be known as “Reggie’s 1st pick”, so let’s hope he is a career long Raider, who starts making plays from day 1.

  84. alex7 Says:

    Alzado,

    as the article states, Jenkins fell to #4 only after the Cowboys signed Brandon Carr and drafted Claiborne.

    No shame in that.

    Cowboys’ 2012 #4 at a loaded position = Oakland’s starter.

    It’s at least a viable argument.

  85. Just Fire Baby Says:

    ============================================

    The reason I say “proven” is he was voted by the players and coaches as the best defensive player last year. If our record was better, he would be getting the accolades. Clearly pass rush DL are very valuable. A 2nd would be in order for that kind of player.

    We wont trade up. We wont play 3-4. We wont take a nt at 95..

  94. Just Fire Baby Says:

    My ORIGINAL mock board (YES I only make 1 Raider O)………

    3rd- Casey Hayward, DB (Vandy)
    Nobody else seems on board, but I love him if he is available. May have to schlepp off a future pick or player to have up a dozen or so spots to get him. If not, go with Chapman, but I think cover guys are a bigger need on this defense.

    4th- Jonathan Massaquoi, OLB (Troy)
    Never watched him play, but good measurables, and Troy seems to produce these OLB/DE hybrid types, and we desperately need an edge speed rusher. He shows up on a lot of the Blogs scouting department brainstorms.

    5th- Kheeston Randall, DT/DE (Texas)
    Guy who never quite lived up to his talents, but can rush the passer, and be versatile in our new 3-4/4-3 hybrid-type defense. Very good Senior Bowl.

    5th- Nate Potter, OT (Boise State)
    Probably played better than where he will be drafted, but didn’t measure out as big as would have liked. Insurance at LT, and ZBS type lineman.

    6th- Tashuan Gipson, DB (Wyoming)
    Decent size and can tackle, play special teams, and compete for the 12th starter on defense, the nickle corner.

    Re” post #5 Nnamdi21 thanks for the info. I was trying to find out who the USC DL was, so he had an illness… is he okay now?

    However,

    Just because there has been buzz because draft eligible players had private visits to the Raiders doesn’t mean they will draft them. Most of these players are small college guys, non combine invites, or other players who got little other exposure (often these visits are to help the Raiders get a leg up on signing the as UDFAs); or visits from players who have injury issues (eg Josh Chapman). Many players say after the draft that they were chosen by teams who had shown little apparent interest. And just because someone visited doesn’t mean the Raiders were impressed with what they saw.

  119. alzadoX Says:

    The Raiders main need is playmakers on defense. And to get potential playmakers with 3rd-late round picks, you usually need to take some gambles. So expect that the Raiders take some players that many consider high risk, then rationalize it in post draft explanations. That should be easy to do since it’s probably the only rational way to get the kind of players the Raiders need most. Note that Reggie Mac’s old team frequently gambled in the draft).

    one thing I did was read a couple draft guides cover to cover and I got a pretty good idea of the depth and talent likely to be left at various Raiders need positions. Most of the supply analysis is on the top tier talent, what I did was on 3rd-7th round talent:

    Specific current and upcoming Raiders needs entering 2012 draft, in order of priority, with draft supply and demand projections in rounds 3-6 where Raiders have picks)

    LB at least 2 (draft supply=very good in mid-late rounds, demand=fairly high. Expect multiple Raiders picks/ variety)

    NT/DT run stuffer (draft supply=poor in mid-late rounds, demand=high. Slim pickin’s. Reggie Mac said that if there is little depth at a position, they are likely to make a pick at that position rather than risk waiting till a later round. This is sometimes necessary but can also lead to reaching. If one of the better NTs is available at end of third round, don’t be surprised if the Raiders snatch him up. In round 3 or early 4, the talent is likely to drop drastically at this position)

    another CB only if can add a projected starter at right price (draft supply=okay in later rounds, demand=high as always. Expect a gamble)

    RB backups power back, goalline,& short yardage + double as special teams (draft supply = low for big backs in mid-late rounds, demand=fairly low)

    edge rushers, either as starting LB, situational DE or LB, etc (draft supply=pretty deep mid-low rounds, demand=high as always. )

    whatever fits into coaches defensive plan, which we really don’t know yet beyond basic set of “whatever fits our personnel maybe hybrid 4-3/3-4″.. Know what Knapp will want to do on offense more than what we’ll try to do on defense…unless you can tell us

    backup QB (draft supply=weak mid – late rounds, demand=probably typical)

    Possession / red zone WR (draft supply mid-late rounds = average, demand=probably typical)

    TE who is potential starter/complete player, pass catchers to fit Greg Knapp’s offense + red zone threat (draft supply=very poor, demand=fairly high. NOT MUCH CHANCE OF GETTING A BARGAIN TE IN DRAFT ROUNDS 3-5. Best bet is Raiders may take a chance on someone with their last pick, and hope Ausberry develops)

    young high upside FS and special teams (draft supply mid-late rounds= fair to poor, demand=probably typical)

    PR (draft supply=fair, demand=probably typical)

    As for being worried about being banned by Cork, hell if I care. He’s two weeks behind on ever posting anything relevant anyways. No slander on my part, look up the definition of slander. If my “libel” actually does piss him off, its only cause its true.

    Last year the guy kept saying during live game chats that he would bench our players if he was in charge. I kept asking him to name one player he would bench that would have an impact and straighten everyone else out, he couldnt name one. Yet he kept calling for benchings despite how thin our team was. The guy talks without thinking.

    He doesnt have any inside information yet he speaks like he knows more than any of us. He’s just a guy with a blog. That’s it.

    If I get banned I’ll keep posting….or better yet, Cork can start doing a better freaking job.

  128. Just Fire Baby Says:

    But I do agree with you as far as the D-line.

    Almost all the top-flight teams got multiple 1st rounders up there.

    2nd most important position in football right now. About the only way you can stop these passing teams, have a beast D-line. DB’s can’t hold, LB’s can’t hang in coverage, and the whole play keep away and run the ball doesn’t matter, teams like the Giants, Saints, Packers, Pats can score in 1:45 seconds if they really need to.

  137. alex7 Says:

    Well this was fun to read regarding Broncos 2nd round pick:

    Mel Kiper said he had a late first-round grade on Wolfe, who didn’t get much attention in the pre-draft discussion. Mike Mayock omitted Wolfe completely from a list of the best 68 players available after round one.

  138. Marks hair Says:

    darn LB Bobby Wagner off board too

  149. Raider Riff Says:

    JFB, show me where I said we have any top draft picks?

    Corky is suggesting we use a 4th to go get a DB. A 4th that could be spent on our O-line so we can go sling it.

    Teams are built from the inside out. Thats what I said. I said nothing about wasting top picks on O line but Im not against that either. Some great Olinemen have come from all over the draft and they are no less a gamble than d-lineman.

  150. YoungAmerican Says:

    SD is getting Kendall Reyes apparently. Another very good pick for them.

  151. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Teams are built from the inside out.

    ***************************

    Not offensively.

    Show me where the Saints, Packers and Giants built from the inside out.

    Corky is suggesting we use a 4th to go get a DB. A 4th that could be spent on our O-line so we can go sling it.

    *********************************

    I think we should draft two DB’s.

    Much more of an issue with this team than our O-line.

    We could run the ball, and protected the QB decently. He were historically bad in pass defense.

  154. aig-raiders Says:

    Wow Devin Still is available. What’s his problem? He looks decent on tape.

  155. YoungAmerican Says:

    Heard it’s medical issues with Still.

  156. Raider Riff Says:

    they all have very good offensive lines. brees has a million years to throw. the packers offensive line is excellent. and the giants line has played together forever.

    you act as if these qb’s do it all by themselves. they need time to throw. that starts up front.

    why you’d even argue otherwise is beyond me.

  157. mcfadden20. Says:

    PEad gone to Rams

  158. antispy3 Says:

    Maybe a sixth next year. But jenkins was toasted so much last year he should be served on the breakfast menu. I’ll pass on this year’s picks. . .

  159. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Pead killed it at the Senior Bowl.

  160. aig-raiders Says:

    “Since a dominant Outback Bowl performance to end the 2010 season — 3.5 tackles for loss against Florida center and Dolphins first-round pick Mike Pouncey — Still was convinced he’d make a living on Sundays.”

    Wow, anyone that plays well against Pouncey is worthy of a pick at this level. Can he drop to the Raiders?

  161. Raider Riff Says:

    and you dont improve your pass defense by getting better db’s. you improve it by stopping the run, forcing obvious passing situations, and getting pressure on the quarterback. all of which can be done with a mediocre secondary.

    we’ve had excellent secondaries in the past that added up to nothing because our interior line couldnt stop the run and get pressure on the qb.

    the giants are a perfect example of how to beat todays modern offenses.

  162. Just Fire Baby Says:

    you act as if these qb’s do it all by themselves. they need time to throw. that starts up front.

    **************************

    QB’s do it all yes. Brees has a million years to throw because of his reads. Teams blitz more players than there is O-lineman to block, and still don’t touch him. How is that the O-line?

    I think you could have sprinkled in some starters from Rutgers O-line into the Giants O-line, and they would have still won the Super Bowl.

  163. ghostraiders Says:

    Armstead is a frigging bull!!! Oh please Reggie. ..pick this Guy if you get the chance… that Guy probably goes in 1st or 2 nd round under normal circumstances. . Shoot I would give up a fifth and a sixth for him…USC definitely missed him..

    Corey Webster, Terrell Thomas 2nd rounders.

    Basically, the only people on the field for the Giants in the secondary were 1st or 2nd rounders.

    huff 1st rounder
    namdi all world
    routt – above average
    branch – 1st round talent

    what did that get us? not a damn thing.

    now compare our d-line to the giants. enuff said.

    seriously, youve been playing too much madden on ur xbox if you think db’s are that valuable.

    tell us again how qb’s do it all on their own. tell that to jay cutler. the bears have a cheap o-line and its done him wonders. or how about philip rivers last year? banged up oline but i guess he doesnt know how to read a d.

    matt ryan, joe flacco, and rothlisberger all have two things in common. they one as rookies and their teams had excellent o-lines. rookies dont read defenses.

    fast forward to this past year and how did rothlisberger do with a beat up line?

    JPP is a fist rounder, Osi 2nd rounder, Tuck 3rd rounder.

    Other 2nd and 3rd rounders in the mix.

    As I said, D-line, 2nd most important postion in football, behind QB.

    I would put secondary #3, and O-line somewhere around RB’s and kickers.

  185. Raider Riff Says:

    keep siding with them. go find a giants forum while youre at it.

    meanwhile you can keep telling us how db’s are more important than a good offensive line and how eli manning would win a superbowl with rutgers.

  186. Just Fire Baby Says:

    fast forward to this past year and how did rothlisberger do with a beat up line?

    ********************************

    Their O-line has been horrible for 8 years.

    They still make the playoffs every year.

  187. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Rams got a good back in Pead. Had him in RRS poll. Thought there was a very slight chance he’d fall through the cracks, but don’t think Raids need to draft a RB anyway.

    I understand the BPA mentality, but it might be a luxury the Raids can’t afford if the difference between prospects is slight.

    Going into the season with just Slow, Curry, Brooks Goethel and Ihenacho is asking for trouble. Slow might be facing a suspension and if there’s an injury, Raids would struggle just to put 3 LBs on the field.

    BPA ? Sure, makes sense – but there’s also the reality that the roster is paper thin at LB and IMO is the Raid’s most pressing need.

  188. Marks hair Says:

    Nfl network looked in on falcons cam and they were watching mel kiper jr

    nah, no dierdorf needed. keep doing it the al davis way. big money on db’s and nevermind the o-line or d-line cause they dont matter.

    i’ll be in spain next week and portugal after that and i probably wont be coming back to the states unless we make the playoffs. yeah, im on a permanent vacation and you are just some clown telling us all how an o-line doesnt matter. hahahaha. classic.

    Steelers trying to protect Big Ben, it appears

    OL = first 2 picks

    *************************

    According to Raider Riff, they had a great O-line for years, but feel off last year only.

    I am willing to bet the Steelers don’t win anymore Super Bowls, even with all the new O-lineman.

  200. Raider O Says:

    Steelers have/ had a bad OL, but they have a great QB & an elite defense.

    Most important positions in football IMO (Salary paid support this argument):
    QB
    DL
    CB/ WR
    LT
    RB/ LB

  201. Raider Riff Says:

    if reggie is smart he’ll draft o-line. like i said, you draft for depth.

    we need linebackers more than anything. if he can find one that will make an impact, good luck. i’d rather get them via free agency.

    our d-line can use some help but we have no good picks so good luck getting an impact d-lineman this late but if his gut says he can find one, then i trust his gut.

    but we should not be drafting wr’s or db’s.

  202. Just Fire Baby Says:

    You can use Euro’s to pay off your bet if you need to.

    Such a world traveler and tough guy would surely relish the opportunity to take my money.

    Not asking to compare incomes, just asking to place a simple wager behind your debate.

    I may make 10K or 150K, but either way I am willing to bet that I am right and you are wrong.

    @Riff

    Wiz II, Veldheer & Briesel are young

    Barnes & Carlisle are the vets of the bunch. Cooper is an iron man, who has only missed like 1 start in the last 10 years. Barnes is crap, but we have last year’s rookie Barksdale waiting in the wings.

    the beauty of the zbs is you can milk production out of undrafted guys. They just have to be system fits

  209. Just Fire Baby Says:

    QB
    DL
    CB/ WR
    LT
    RB/ LB

    ***************************

    110% correct.

    Wouldn’t change the list at all

  210. Raider Riff Says:

    its draft nite. i can afford to take some time off from paris niteclubs to follow my team.

    trust me, after the draft u wont hear from me again for a minute.

  211. YoungAmerican Says:

    BPA.

    They can’t afford to do anything but find the best player on their board and choose that guy. Worst thing you can do is draft for need. If you pass up better players to fill a need, and the “need” pick busts, then not only do you not have a player who can contribute but you still need to fill that need.

  212. YoungAmerican Says:

    Lavonte David. Bucs get their Derrick Brooks pt. 2.

  213. Just Fire Baby Says:

    So are you going to make excuses, tell us about your world travels and call people names, or be a fkn man, place a wager and either win and brag, or again, be a fkn man and say OK got me this time?

  214. Marks hair Says:

    I like the bucks draft

  215. alzadoX Says:

    dammit WSLB Lavonte David off board. Thought he’d go much higher, but would’da loved to get him.

  216. RaiderRockstar Says:

    John Fox said that he wanted to add 2 QB’s a long time ago before Tebow was traded to the Jets and Quinn signed with KC …

    mission accomplished, Manning & Osweiler

  217. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Top 5 available:

    Randle, Reuben
    Dennard, Alfonzo
    Massie, Bobby
    Curry, Vinny
    Miller, Lamar

    35+ picks to go?

    none will be there imo

  218. Raider Riff Says:

    213,

    what does betting on what reggie will do prove? i never said what he would or wouldnt do. you on the other hand threw that in there for whatever reason.

    he should stay away from mike jenkins. and stay away from any other db’s in this draft.

    asking me to bet on his gut feeling has no bearing on anything. but then again, if gambling is how you made your ‘real money’ then you got me there cause gambling isnt my forte.

  219. mcfadden20. Says:

    WOW Eagles are having the best draft

  220. Raider O Says:

    Raider Riff,

    Some wine, some cheese and bread, and the draft. Does it get any better?
    I think the most important position in football is the QB, and that’s why they get paid all that money, and they usually get drafted 1st.

  221. Raider Riff Says:

    whats available right now with regards to lb’s or dt’s?

    anything of possible value left on the board?

  222. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Ravens & 49ers appreciate fat slob NT’s

    hope Alameda & Josh dont go in RD2

  223. Raider O Says:

    Eff the Eagles. They did well this offseason.

  224. mcfadden20. Says:

    GREAT DRAFT FOR EAGLES .. they should win NFC EAST THIS YEAR

  225. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Sigh……so we go round and round with no way to settle things?

    A simple wager, would (A) shut us both up until the pick(s) and (B) put a little credibility behind either of our arguments.

    And it will also prove what our GM thinks is more important to our team, or at least a more important hole to fill.

    We already signed a zillion DB’s, I am thinking there is great value on O-lineman +150.

  226. YoungAmerican Says:

    I’d be more concerned about Jets, Steelers, and Panthers taking NTs.

  227. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Eagles need a QB to win that division.

    Vick healthy for 9 weeks won’t cut it.

  228. Raider O Says:

    Vick will Never win a SB!
    Print that!

    isn’t that what everybody said last year ??

    Philly = paper champion

    Oakland = Rocky Balboa

  230. Raider O Says:

    Vick healthy for 16 games is not going to cut it either. They need a better QB to win it all.

  232. Raider Riff Says:

    raider o,

    does the bread in france get any better? if so, i havent had it and ive been everywhere. no wine for me today but i did have some excellent cheeses and seafood.

    as for your assesment of qb’s. i wouldnt measure their paycheck as their actual value. its the most marketable position yes, but not necessarily the most important. remember, trent dilfer and doug williams have won superbowls thanx to great o-lines and even better defenses. elway couldnt win one till he had an o-line that made terrel davis look like gayle sayers.

    the browns have been wasting draft picks on qbs since tim couch. and they will contiue to until they get an o-line and defense worth a damn. qb’s can be found all over the board, why? because qb’s are developed, not drafted. and you cant develop a qb if he’s running for his life all the time.

    If the Eagles make the playoffs, it will be in large credit to their elite DB’s and WR’s.

    good point, YA

  236. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Browns drafted a stud LT and C in the 1st round the last two years. Pro Bowl players already. They just drafted a T in the top of the 2nd this year.

    They might not win 4 games next year.

  237. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Well my friend, I got to hope on this flight.

    Not going to France however.

  238. RaiderRockstar Says:

    @M20

    Eagles will probably win a bunch of games and then fold when it matters

    G-Men get hot when they need to

    2012/2013 will be the same way. Philly starts fast. then busts. Giants start slow, then have a late season surge

  239. Raider Riff Says:

    jfb, there is great value on taking that bet.

    but the problem with that bet is A, it doesnt settle our debate. it only proves who is better at guessing reggies next move and B, without knowing reggies tendencies its a dumb bet on both our parts.

    if i had to guess, i’d say he’s going to pick a linebacker. we need it the most, and its a lb deep draft.

    personally, i’d still go with the best dlineman available. they can have an immediate impact as its not the most difficult position to learn unlike linebacker.

    smart, offense wasn’t the issue last season

    Raiders should operate the same way, first 3 picks on DEFENSE!!

  247. Raider O Says:

    Raider Riff,

    I understand your point of view, and you are right about Dilfer and Williams, but those were special situations IMO. Ravens had an elite defense (top 10 all time), and they replaced Dilfer with a rookie after that SB. Look at Dan Marino. One of the best QBs to play the game, and he never won a SB. I agree that a QB can’t win by himself, but I can’t think of any position that is more important than QB. Imagine how many more SB that Ravens team would have won if they had a good QB. Look at the elite teams in the NFL, and you will see that they all have PB QBs. Colts with Manning, Saints, Pats, Giants, and GB.

  248. alzadoX Says:

  274. Raider Riff Says:

    raider o,

    the ravens could have won more superbowls with trent. he was a leader.

    i believe they went with elvis grbac after dilfer. then they went with boller. both huge mistakes but c’mon, boller just sucks. a good friend of mine was a fb at cal at the time of boller and he’s got some great stories of just how bad the guy was.

    look at all the examples you gave and all those teams have good dlines and olines. now, i dont think that a qb is less valuable than any particular single position. but as a unit, the dline and oline are more important to me. i will take the giants dline over eli manning any day of the week. but would i take justin tuck over eli? no way.

    we significantly upgraded our qb last season and it still did us no favors. why? we cant stop the run. our defense needs major help. part of dumbass romac’s problem is that he’s got a higher IQ than the rest of our LB corps combined. he’s out there thinking too much about whether the guys next to him are doing their jobs.

    fix our LB corps and we go deep into the playoffs the last two seasons.

  275. Guy Says:

    As of now I am liking the Rams and the Bucs drafts. They are getting really solid players and acquiring a good amount of picks, especially the Rams. They got a whole lot for that #2 overall

    the patriots have proved that cb’s and wr’s mean squat.

    theyve routinely let their db’s go once they asked for big money. and they couldnt win it with moss or ochocinco yet they did win it all back when they (were cheating) and when they had a no-name receiving corps.

    and the pats are no special case. plenty of teams have won superbowls without great wr’s.

    i still think he has bad hips, is an idiot off the field, and not fast enough and in good enough shape, but he does have a high football IQ. that was his strength in college. he just happened to get drafted to a team that has nothing but “athletes” on it.

    Brandon Thompson (NT/DT Clemson)is a guy who was predicted to be gone by now but I’m taking a look at his scouting report and he sounds awfully good.

    DE/LB Ronnell Lewis Oklahoma has some potential/high risk or maybe actual problem with anemia, “sickle cell anemia trait” recently discovered. I’m not a doctor…but this kind of scares me. They say he “wears down late in games” and going to a 16 game pro schedule, he may be too big of a gamble

    Reggie McK will make the right pick. I’m sure of it.

  334. R8ER MIKE Says:

    Can do mcfadden20. Let me twist another one.
    ln Reggie I trust!!

  335. YoungAmerican Says:

    In my opinion?

    LB R. Lewis and CB J. Fleming are the BPA right now. Followed closely by WR Sanu, WR Jones, WR Adams, DT Martin, DT Ta’amu…

  336. mcfadden20. Says:

    15 to go HAHAHAAHHAAHA

    RAY LEWIS is back in draft hahahahhaha

  338. YoungAmerican Says:

    Also, Lamar Miller.

  339. alzadoX Says:

    TE Michael Egnew off board

  340. YoungAmerican Says:

    Fleming off the board now.

  341. R8ER MIKE Says:

    There goes Fleming

  342. mcfadden20. Says:

    OK getting really close

  343. mcfadden20. Says:

    OK getting really close , very close .. tick . tock .tick. tock

  344. alzadoX Says:

    I hope NT/DT Brandon Thompson or Alameda Ta’amu last till our pick. My favorite LBs and CB off board… Mike Martin sounds good but not the immovable force vs. run per reports. I never saw him play. Best defender available should be our pick. No offensive player on board is more valuable to us than many defenders we have a shot at at this point

  345. raidertbone Says:

    #343
    Okay, easy there, K$sha!

  346. YoungAmerican Says:

    Bobby Massie is also still there.

  347. raidertbone Says:

    Ta’amu! Ta’amu!

  348. YoungAmerican Says:

    Crawford off the board. Cowboys got a good one.

  349. DKnight007 Says:

    i think McK ends up picking Taamu, Thompson, Crick or Lewis.

  350. alzadoX Says:

    darn, Brandon Hardin FS Oregon is off board. So is Jamell Fleming CB who interested some of you

  351. YoungAmerican Says:

    Titans got Mike Martin. Perfect fit there.

  352. DKnight007 Says:

    Martin gone…

  353. mcfadden20. Says:

    There goes Mike Martin

  354. YoungAmerican Says:

    Now Sanu is gone.

  355. Bob Marley Says:

    Good players left, we’ll get a good prospect.

  356. alzadoX Says:

    Mike Martin and Mohammed Sanu off board

  357. Bob Marley Says:

    Crap, girlfriend on the way, I’m out.

  358. raidertbone Says:

    Falcons just wasted a pick!

  359. Marks hair Says:

    I thought tamamu was gone right there

  360. beach Says:

    Darn, I wanted Mike Martin. At least he can bury Alex Smith in the ground, now that he’s a Seahawk.

  361. raidertbone Says:

    #360 — Alex is gonna get buried by his own teammates, during practice!

  362. Marks hair Says:

    Enough millitary

  363. alzadoX Says:

    Brandon Thompson NT/DT Clemson
    Alameda Ta’amu NT/DT Washington
    Hebron Fangupo NT/DT BYU
    Josh Chapman NT/DT Alabama
    Sean Spence LB Miami
    Brandon Boykin CB-RS Georgia
    Dwight Bentley, CB Louisiana Lafayette
    Ronnell Lewis DE/LB Oklahoma would be my top guy but medical questions don’t know where to put him

  364. beach Says:

    Oh, he’s going to Tennessee. Who do we want now that Mike Martin is gone?

  365. raidertbone Says:

    #358 — I meant Ravens (too much Captain and Coke tonight!)

  366. antispy3 Says:

    I like Crick but he would be redundant (three technique that couls conceivably be a five technique in the 3-4); Turbin, the local RB from Utah State, T’aamu, the NT from UDub & my guy, the OLB from oregon are still there. . .

  367. Dakota Says:

    10 picks!

  368. alzadoX Says:

    Dwight Bentley, CB off board

  369. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    dammm this is boring…reggie sux

  370. raidertbone Says:

    Bentley gone

  371. Marks hair Says:

    Steelers take taamuu?

  372. YoungAmerican Says:

    Spence off the board to Pit.

  373. Marks hair Says:

    Spence. Nice pic

  374. YoungAmerican Says:

    Spence could be a good fit there. Reminds me of Timmons. Will potentially replace Foote.

  375. raidertbone Says:

    Spence off the board

  376. beach Says:

    I just looked up the Clemson kid, Brandon Thompson. Is he still available?

  377. alzadoX Says:

    Spence off board. LBs gone. NT has to fall to us

  378. Marks hair Says:

    Im starting to get a semi chub thinking taammuu might be there

  379. raidertbone Says:

    I thought the Steelers would go with Chapman.

  380. raidertbone Says:

    9 more to go; gotta be a nose tackle …

  381. R8ER MIKE Says:

    Lol mark. Is that hair gel?

  382. raidertbone Says:

    I guess the Eagles didn’t want Colt McCoy THAT much!

  383. Marks hair Says:

    Sparking good juck joint

  384. antispy3 Says:

    Saints probably take T’aamu

  386. Dakota Says:

    Will the saints draft a head coach?

  387. mcfadden20. Says:

    yeah i hope saints don’t take any DT’s

    THey did take a DT but not any the blog gm’s picks

  391. beach Says:

    Watch NE take Brandon Thompson.

  392. YoungAmerican Says:

    Wow, Hicks? Really?

  393. downsouthraider Says:

    Getting close to 95 guys….my pick still available ….Brandon Thompson from Clemson

  394. YoungAmerican Says:

    Hicks I had down as a 5th rounder. Good player, but cut his teeth against inferior competition.

  395. alzadoX Says:

    “sleeper” DL Akiem Hicks already awoken and off board

  396. Marks hair Says:

    Id be hapy with tamuuu or massie

  397. raidertbone Says:

    Ta’amu/Chapman/Thompson –
    one of them should be there …

  398. YoungAmerican Says:

    Bequette off the board to NE. Good pick, a little earlier than I thought he’d go. Good fit there.

  399. raidertbone Says:

    Massoquoi a possibility, as well

  400. mcfadden20. Says:

    NE 4/4 picks on D.. BUT they will suck again

  401. YoungAmerican Says:

    Raiders are going to have their pick of some solid players.

  402. DKnight007 Says:

    Bequette gone…that sucks

  403. edward teach Says:

    I feel kinda vindicated regarding Nick Foles. Posted in here back in early Fall that he looked like a pretty good prospect and was told “not so much “. Looks like he graded out pretty well after all.

  404. YoungAmerican Says:

    Colts here. Maybe Ta’amu or Chapman.

  405. bcz24 Says:

    Colts are definitely picking Thompson or TaAmu

  406. Dakota Says:

    Why has massie dropped?

  407. Carl Weathers Says:

    Good evening draft junkies! So far just Bequette off the board of my wishlist.

  408. beach Says:

    I do not want Crick! He is overrated.

  409. mcfadden20. Says:

    COLTS BENGALS GIANS, either of them could pick any DT we want

  410. beach Says:

    We need Brandon Thompson or Massaquoi!

  411. YoungAmerican Says:

    Bengals already went DT. Giants going DT wouldn’t surprise me with Canty and Bernard getting older. Colts will probably look NT or OLB/ILB.

  412. JB Says:

    So, we have the Friday night Mr. Irrelevant pick. Is Chapman going to be the pick? We desparaely need a NT & LB’ers (multiple). A good OG is not a bad decision either.

  413. DKnight007 Says:

    McK gonna pick NT Taamu, NTChapman, or DT Thompson probably.

  414. R8ER MIKE Says:

    Think nfl network will give us any love when we pick?

  415. mcfadden20. Says:

    I like the way Chris Berman says THe RAAAIIIIIDEERS

  416. YoungAmerican Says:

    Good spot for the Raiders to be in.

  417. raidertbone Says:

    The NFL Network will never give us any love — get over it!

  418. Marks hair Says:

    Massie or taamu

  419. beach Says:

    I don’t think Taamu is our guy. I want Thompson!

  420. Carl Weathers Says:

    I have the CBS draft ticker on and they have our needs as DT,QB,CB,TE… no LB???

  421. YoungAmerican Says:

    Bengals got Thompson.

  422. mcfadden20. Says:

    Indy will do everything to surround Luck with talent around him .. I thought their D sucked last year

  423. beach Says:

    Effin’ Bengals!

  424. Dakota Says:

    ouch

  425. Marks hair Says:

    Taamu or massie! Come on reg!

  426. bcz24 Says:

    We are ON THE CLOCK

  427. raidertbone Says:

    Interesting that the Colts go WR — I guess Luck will be throwing to anybody and everybody!

  428. Plunketthead Says:

    WE ARE ON THE CLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  429. DKnight007 Says:

    McK gonna pick NT Taamu, NTChapman, or DT Thompson probably or maybe OLB Lewis

  430. alzadoX Says:

    darn it Brandon Thompson off the board. Alameda Ta’amu will be a better pro and we’ll get him

  431. R8ER MIKE Says:

    You are so right tbone

    Please do not draft a tight end, Reggie!

  439. beach Says:

    I really don’t want Crick.

  440. Raider O Says:

    Ta’amu, Chapman, or Massaquoi!

  441. alzadoX Says:

    Alameda Ta’amu NT/DT Washington
    Hebron Fangupo NT/DT BYU

  442. YoungAmerican Says:

    Fangupo will be there in the 5th.

  443. beach Says:

    430. I disagree, we will soon find out if we get Alameda.

  444. DKnight007 Says:

    Please do NOT take a CB Reggie! Ugh

  445. Marks hair Says:

    Ta’amu or Massie! Lets go Raiders!

  446. mcfadden20. Says:

    RAIDERS ON THE CLOCK >> GET YOUR POPCORNS READY

  447. DKnight007 Says:

    Crick would be a good pick!

  448. beach Says:

    I like Massaquoi, but I thought he would be around awhile.

  449. YoungAmerican Says:

    If the Giants don’t get him, I’d go Ronnell Lewis here.

  450. mcfadden20. Says:

    EXCITED<< DON"T disappoint me REG

  451. YoungAmerican Says:

    Lewis
    Ta’amu
    Chapman

    LOts OF RAIDERS CHEERS IN RADIO CITY

  453. DKnight007 Says:

    Wynn, Crick or Taamu….maybe Lewis.

    I do not think Taamu will be good.

  455. Marks hair Says:

    Massie or Ta’amu! RAIDERS!

  456. raidertbone Says:

    Great! Ta’amu and Chapman are both still on the board .. DO IT! DO IT!

    Chapman, Wynn, Crick, Taamu or Lewis

    WARCH THY CRY’N START NOW..

  476. bcz24 Says:

    Well we got our RT, would have taken Massie if we were going OL

  477. mcfadden20. Says:

    I BET Nobody predicted this pick

  478. Marks hair Says:

    Coops replacement..= bpa

  479. DKnight007 Says:

    At least he can play RG or RT…especially in the ZBS.

    Good pick…but I wanted DT, or OLB

  480. Guy Says:

    Are you kidding me Ta’amu would have been perfect

  481. Carl Weathers Says:

    Anyone have him? LOL! FFS, oh well does mean they think Barksdale is gonna play guard?

  482. Plunketthead Says:

    Yeah baby!! Sewing up that O line!!. Unstoppable with DMAC blowing through the huge holes left by Bergstrom

  483. Raider O Says:

    I hope Chapman or Massaquoi are available when we pick in the 4th.
    I don’t like this pick.

  484. priesttj Says:

    None of you know who the guy is yet you’re pissed!!!

    Come on y’all hip hip hooray!!

  485. YoungAmerican Says:

    I expected to be surprised to a certain extent. Don’t know much about Bergstrom, though.

  486. 8RaiderReign8 Says:

    Well I was wrong

  487. mcfadden20. Says:

    OK well Hopefully he’s a starter that will give Palmer alots of time to throw and open a lot of holes for Mcfadden

  488. Guy Says:

    Alameda fits a 3-4 or 4-3 and we are going to be running hybrid aren’t we? Better not regret passing up on him

  489. raidertbone Says:

    Okay, I’ll go with it .. good night guys. Here’s hoping we go defense tomorrow!

  490. RaidO Says:

    Booooooooo

  491. wasbanned Says:

    387 ypg given up last season…

    take an OL with 1st pick.

    new GM. same stupidity.

  492. art shells clipboard Says:

    Zombie Al has risen from the dead!!!

  493. 8RaiderReign8 Says:

    I mean Palmer is the most importanr player on our team and so is DMAC… This protects them both

  494. marios Says:

    Bergstrom is not very explosive, almost weak for an offensive lineman. He doesn’t get much of a jolt when working off the ball and struggles to get much movement in the run game. Again, he is not a very aggressive blocker, acting as more of a catcher who uses his feet and hands to react and mirror. He is reliable, big and a student of the game, but won’t blow anyone away in the NFL.

  495. bcz24 Says:

    As bad as our defense was, I just didnt see offense as the biggest need

  497. Lowdown_in_Beijing Says:

    I wasted my Saturday morning for a Guard?

  498. RaiderSam Says:

    Very anti-climactic…not surprised he was taken, just in what round. I agree with Raider O, I hope Chapman or Alameda and Massaquoi are available at 129

    “A big, strong tackle prospect with some short area quickness for his size. But struggles with flexibility in pass protection and looks limited in what he can offer an NFL offense. However, looks more coordinated and plays lower as a guard and looks like that is where his future lies in the NFL.”
    -Wes Bunting, National Football Post

  499. priesttj Says:

    The kid is an outstanding talent who came off a mission and can fit the scheme we want to play. You cannot ignore what works for you because a bunch of fans don’t agreee…………..period

    Can’t get enough offensive lineman. Still trusting Big Reg

  501. lefty12 Says:

    484-YEP.LOL

  502. YoungAmerican Says:

    If Ta’amu is still around, very possible Chapman will be around in the 4th. Or they’re targeting other players. We’ll see soon enough. Very interesting though. Expected OL to be play, but hard to know how they evaluate OL.

  503. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    an ol i wont complain but will question…as a zone blocking o these linemen are easier to find since only a few teams are looking for these sizes….

  504. Marks hair Says:

    Im happy. Hopfully he can start at guard or tackle

  505. marios Says:

    Chapman will probably be available late in the 4th while Alameda is not a good fit in a 4-3

  506. Plunder Says:

    Reggie following his board.

    I’m always down with some O-line.

  507. JB Says:

    I LIKE THIS PICK!

    I didn’t want to see Carlisle start again. Veldheer, Bergstrom, Wiz 2.0, Brisiel & Barksdale or Barnes. That’s a very solid O-line. Much better than last year. We’ve got to protect Palmer & open hole for DMac. Overall, a good decision for Reggie.

  508. KoolKell Says:

    Good solid pick.

    -Jon Gruden

  509. mcfadden20. Says:

    OK might not be the sexy pick but i guess Reggie thinks he could get that D talent in round 4 … I’m get we won’t have to wait long for that to happen … Rounds 4-7 start tomorrow at 9 PM Pacific

  510. Dakota Says:

    woot Reggie is smarter than all of you!

  511. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    still boring as heck….reggie fails

  512. YoungAmerican Says:

    Positives: Mature, seasoned right tackle. Has the agility, technique and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders. Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance and even straight-line speed to contribute. Impressed at guard and tackle at the Senior Bowl. Negatives: Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn’t possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face. Anticipates speed rushers attacking the edge and will over-set to the outside, leaving inside rushing lanes wide open for defenders to jab-step outside and re-direct through the gap.
    Drops his head too often on contact, which causes problems against swim moves. Went on a two-year LDS mission following high school and will turn 26 in August

  515. Lowdown_in_Beijing Says:

    Dude is a Moron? Super….

  516. beach Says:

    Priest, most of us were looking for defense at # 95. I haven’t even looked at Bergstrom. I trust in Reggie. I think Chapman, Taamu, and Crick are not good for us.

  517. aig-raiders Says:

    At least it wasnt a db. :-)

  518. xraided Says:

    yea priest, we cannot judge this quite yet. did read he isn’t much of a blocker, but is athletic in space. perfect for a ZBS. it’s possible that Barksdale doesn’t fit the system and we CANNOT go with Barnes again if we want a consistent offense… we will see.

    Ta’amu, Chapman, Martin …. they should be there in the 4th. we will know how serious they are about a 3-4 after tomorrow.

    i think if Spence is still there, that’s the pick.. they need linebackers very badly..

  519. beach Says:

    That’s his job, Dakota! You have to take what is best available to you, and Mike Martin was gone!

  520. alzadoX Says:

    Bergstrom good fit ZBS. But we need D D D D D

    Yes, he is an LSD, Joseph Smith fan…you know, Moron. Like Steve Young.

  529. Goldie7 Says:

    NFLDraftScout.com predicted that the Ravens would draft Bergstrom. The Ravens always draft well so maybe this is a good pick. I’m still hoping we trade for Osi because his services are really needed.

    You cannot have enough depth on the offensive line. Bergstrom is our guy now!

  537. xraided Says:

    they are a pure zone blocking team now.
    funny how that’s the opposite of what Al wanted for this club. when they went pure power blocking, things were better than ever. hopefully this new direction has them playing even better! pass proection is key for Carson.

  538. jesusraiderjim Says:
