Raiders go with defensive player for final pick
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, April 28th, 2012 at 3:26 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders tabbed a Penn State player in the 2012 NFL draft for the second time. This time, it’s linebacker Nathan Stupar, a 6-feet-2, 240-pounder.
Stupar wasn’t a full-time starter at Penn State. He is the kind of player who gets by more on his smarts and determination than he does with his ability, which still is somewhat impressive.
He is projected to be a dependable special teams player and solid backup, with an outside shot at developing into a starting-caliber player.
That’s fine with the Raiders. They have a need for an infusion of youth and smarts on their special teams and an opening for a backup linebacker.
Stupar played outside linebacker in college. However, he said the Raiders informed him that he will be moved inside, which means he will back up projected starter Rolando McClain from the outset.

Very good 3-cone and shuttle times… more important than a 40 for linebackers.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
Priority FAs: Janzen Jackson, Sammy Brown, Leonard Johnson.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
What time can Reggie start banging the phone lines for UDFA’s?
GO RAIDERS!
April 28th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Nice going Reggie and Co. based on what we had to work with we got solid football players.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Looks like Reggie is stocking up on linebackers he knows aren’t going to put guns to people’s heads.

Nate Stupar, LB, Penn St. must have been a Wiz recommendation.
=======================================
True. Same thing with Crawford.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Colorado WR Torey Clemons off board…there goes another UDFA
April 28th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Yep, no track stars. Just solid, smart, tough, versatile football players, who love the game.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Rose out for playoffs….Heat can cruise to finals. smh

Rolando might be done now.Last year for him.

The Raiders relinquished their chance to draft the biggest surprise in the draft (Chris Greenwood, CB from Albion) for the mediocre lb from Penn State?
Did Lil Wiz give another glowing endorsement?
I’m totally non-plussed by the Raiders draft. They should have had Greenwood. If they wanted a WR Jones from Cal had to be their man. They draft two foreigners to play Dline. Don’t see alot of “football lovers” amongst their draft choices. Perhaps the OG from Utah will pan out.
They didn’t get Dennard from Nebraska. Should had him in the sixth. The Dline from Ga St. woulda been available as an undrafted FA.
I give the Raiders a “D.” Unbelivable.
Or is this an excuse for Reg to fire the entire Raiders scouting dept.?
What’s the Raiders most important draft tool? A dart board?
April 28th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
a mormon, an aztec, a brit, and an angolan in a few picks. The Global Nation.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Ganaway is off the board
April 28th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Nice draft. All high motor guys. Sweet.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Welp, now we wait for training camp
April 28th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Galippo got beat out by frosh LB at USC. His career never came to fruition.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I grade the Raiders a “D+” …+ is for Burris!
April 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Been watching highlights of Miles Burris. Dude is a fkn stud.

they cruised past them last year with Rose playing.. F them with a passion, but they’re that good together.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
by week four the NYJ fans will be Tebowing.
Raiders’ll have Sanchez for a song giving them an SC trifecta.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I would take Burfict as an UDFA… there’s potential, and worst case scenario he’s just another training camp cut.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Paul Gutierrez @PGutierrezCSN
@raiders to announce undrafted free agents later today
April 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Yes. Miles Burris. Love how he celebrates after making big plays. He’s really into it.
I say he starts game 1.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
At least we didnt get some high profile guy who gets a big contract and plays like garbage.Going to clubs and being an idiot.We got football Players.I like this draft.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Burriss has great instinct and wraps up when he tackles. takes good angles. he can be developed slowly.
he will be a better pass rusher than Trevor Scott, and will appear in at least 14 games showing that off with 6+ sacks. BOOK IT!
April 28th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
@Dakota
Yeah, Marcel Reece
April 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Sammy Brown as a UDFA please! I would have taken this kid in the draft. Big things ahead for this young player.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
R8derray,
how in the hell can you grade players you’ve never heard of?
April 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Stupar was drafted for spec team.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
F-
April 28th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I say we have 3 good players at least from this draft:
-Bergstrom
-Burris
-Criner
April 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I love how open the Raiders are with their fans and the media now. It’s great.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
UDFA priorities:
CB Leonard Johnson
OLB Sammy Brown
NT Hebron Fangupo
FS Janzen Jackson
DE Cam Johnson
Hopefully some calls are being made right now.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:40 pm

Yeah i’m really high on the Burris and Criner picks. comon guys really we haven’t seen these guys on an NFL field yet. we may have hit homeruns with all of them or none. really this year was all about not trading next years picks. we were handicapped by al and hue. though we got palmer out of it so i feel better this year than last
April 28th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Kirk knows.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
I actually believe that McKenzie is a better judge of talent than the know-it-alls on this blog. The naysayers will be eating their words and I hope it tastes like sht.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
9ers got Cam Johnson.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Wow…Cam Johnson just got drafted?
April 28th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
@Dakota
I don’t know, just sayin we haven’t seen him on goal line yet because we had bush. he’s 240 lbs…why not?
April 28th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Bergstrom will be a day one starter.
Burriss may already be our best pass rusher standing up.
Criner is a red zone threat we’ve needed.
This draft has already made our team better.

Pretty stunned Chris Polk was still on the board. Listening to ESPN radio in the AM here in Washington, many consider him the best RB in the history of their program.
I think Kaufman and Cory Dillon might have something to say about that though.

Yeah, I didn’t get to see much film on him and didn’t watch him at all in college. i like what i’ve heard so far. in my opinion smart to get a 26 year old with as much playing time as a 22 year old. just as many years in his legs and more mature. hopeful of him starting next to wiz

Rolando is not a bad player.Just think his off the field issues might be a problem that the coach dont want.
April 28th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
May the best 53 Men Prevail
April 28th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
I hope you’re right Shark. only i worry about the arthritis he must play through every game. that and his court BS. he’s going to get suspended either way … which makes him a dumbazz. we need a capable backup, that’s for sure.
i wish we could get EJ Henderson to really push him. obviously that’s very costly though.

April 28th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Bergstrom and Criner were good value picks…..Granted they werent sexy picks they were real football playing picks…. I’m a giant fan of Burris and have watched alot of game tape on him… I wasnt impressed at all with our other picks and still think Christo should have been a udfa…..
I grade us out at about a C+..
April 28th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
I’d give this draft class a B-. For the most part, did what they could with the few picks they had. I’ll be interested to see what the UDFA class looks like.

The Pac 12 is a passing conference. So guys with specialties in the passing game, Q’s, WR’s, TE’s, OT’s, CB’s, that do well in that conference transition well to the Pro Game.

It’s absolutely idiotic to “grade” a draft after it just happened. Let’s see how these picks pan out. Most of the time it takes 2-3 years to give any team’s draft an accurate grade.
I’ve been reading this blog the past couple days..seen some ridiculous things…but this one takes the cake. Not just the grading, but this guy seems to know exactly who we should have picked and when.
I’d like to see you give Reg and the scouts your very uniformed premature opinion.

#50, I don’t have to legitimize myself to you, but I will give you a much needed history lesson.
And this is just off the top of my head. There are many other instances that I can’t temember, but these are highlights.
When Greg Skerpenak came out of Michigan & Al took him in the second round THEN miscast him as a RT (instead of OG, where he found himself. With the CArolina Panthers) I was hoping the Raiders would take a just as seasoned Ol from UDub that played OT the same time Lincoln Kennedy was playing there; Suipele Malamala, who distinguished himself as a fine RT for the New York Jets. Far superior player.
When the Raiders took Stanford Rout from Houston I was lobbying for Michael Roos from Eastern Washington. Need I say anything more, especially since Rout could have been taken one round later?
When the Raiders drafted Michael Huff from Texas I lobbied for Haloti Ngata, the best interior Dlineman in the NFL. Wonder how the Raiders rush defense would be now?
When the Raiders took JFatboy i was hoping the Raiders would take Megatron or Joe Thomas, LOT from Wisconsin. Hopefully you rremember how that turned out.
When the Raiders took DMAC I was hoping they would go for Ryan Clady from Boise State, then was hoping they would take Matt Forte from Tulane. Ironically then the Raiders would have him paired with Michael Bush from day one.
So, #50, STFU. You know nothing from my knowledge base. You’re just hating with no tangible comeback. I’m entitled to my opinion just the same as anyone else blogging on this site, plus I’ve been a Raider (oten disgrunteled) fan since 1967. I know talent as well as ANTONE on this blog, fool. Take a hike.
Oh, btw; same applies to my talent assessment skills in baeball & hoops. Fool. . .

I love the pick. Never heard of him until today but I’ve watched enough of him on youtube to become a believer. He could take away 55’s gun and biatch slap him with it.

Any 220lb rbs left who can convert on a 3rd and a long 2?

He is on the roster.His name is Lonyae Miller.

heard a lot of good things about Miller. Hard to count on one “1st year player” ie a guy who’s been on practice squad somewhere but not active for more than a couple games. But they’ll bring in more guys with similar credentials and the best man wins the roster spot
April 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
I think you might be right about Parsons, Lefty. If I remember right, he twiterred something a few weeks back about playing center.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
CEO Amy Trask announces Raider generosity vis-a-vis fan purchases which is truly an unprecidented gesture and in here the wonderment is about a UDFA from Podunk U.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
100. more blue collar players that like playing football. they don’t have to be a 1st rounder to do it. people slept on Veldheer all day long. i think he’ll be a top 3 LT in the league next year.
Bergstrom is a very dedicated football player. you know he will be clean due to his religion(most are anyway) … if he can pull well, i easily see Carlisle being replaced right out of training camp by this kid. did hear he needs to clean up his pass protecting, but it shouldn’t be a huge problem when you’re in between Wiz and Veldheer on his island… right?

Ed, that would be amazing if Parsons becomes a solid Center, while Bergstrom works out at RT in 2012. Pollack should be loving life right now.

Raiders picked Bergstrom because their number one priority is to make sure Wiz stays at center for the whole year.

at least scouting isn’t as racist as it used to be 30 years ago. Back then, I could tell the color of the player’s skin by reading the words used to describe his play. Actually, I read a couple scouting books this year and a lot of Black, Brown, Polynesian, etc non whites were described as “high motor” or “high effort”
April 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Shoulda got Myers in FA.

The Raiders 2012 draft class…
Thanks Kirk – Lets do a little analysis on this draft (note added Jason Campbell for a 4th in):
Carson Palmer QB – Played inconsistently coming off the street last year will have playbook, preseason and repore with WRs – expect CP to be a top 7 QB not bad for a mid round first. He also kept us in play for a playoff spot last year.
Joe Barksdale OL We gave up our 2nd this year. If he can beat out Barnes and play average RT the 2nd will be vindicated.
Taiwan Jones RB Other part of the 2nd round pick. He had injury issues last year. Really fast guy that can help on ST as well as BU. If he stays healthy and continues to improve him and Barksdale would prove to be a valuable 2nd round pick.
Terelle Pryor QB This is a raw developmental pick. Boom bust. Most had him going here mid 3rd round in this draft if he did not go supplemental.
Aaron Curry LB 4th overall pick given up for a 7th rounder – that’s an A+ for potential right now but will have to wait and see if he can fit with new defense.
Jason Campbell – JC was valuable for us over the last 2 years. I liked the move for this years 4th when it was done – injuries always complicate things and can happen to anyone.
Tony Bergstrom OL Best ZBS lineman in draft available at the end of the third – so far so good.
Miles Burris LB Sleeper good pick but will have to see how it plays out. He could steal or assume a starting position as the season wears on due to injury or perhaps felony or just poor performance of other LBrs.
Jack Crawford DE OK I am scratching my head but if he develops he could be the Steal of draft or just another reach by Raiders – thinking the latter but hoping the former. The foot injury slowing him down story if true could make him a sleeper just like the constant coaching changes devalued D. Moore last year.
Juron Criner WR Very effective in College not sure how it will translate but this late in draft – its worth a look. He was value at this point in Draft. His large target makes him unique and different than other recievers and can create mismatches.
Christo Bilukidi DT I am getting the Veldeer feeling with this one. A true sleeper that the Scouts are giddy about. This is a guy who might come out of no where around week 8.
Nate Stupar LB UDFA that Raiders did not want to try to recruit? He will be lucky to make team or practice squad.

If u seriously want the title of draftnik expert of a Raiders blog comments section…go ahead and take it my friend LOL
My point is grading a draft after it happened..AS IF ur even remotely qualified.. is idiotic.. as is your angry retort.
I mean really dawg ur puffing chest on a blog defending ur “talent assessment skills” in 3 sports. LOL
April 28th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
I know the Bilukidi pick looks silly to some, but the Raiders felt like he was the kind of player they needed and didn’t want to risk anyone else scooping him up. If they feel that strongly about the kid, it’s hard to complain about the pick. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

RegMac showed in his first draft that he is his own voice, and is not going to worry about bloggers, wannabee GMs, and 17-year “insider” opinions. That’s a relief, but did it have to be this obscure? Got to remember who the scout team was on this one when the final results are in, a few years from now..
April 28th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
137. Glad you responded to that. I was going to but I couldn’t stop laughing.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
As far as Bilukidi…
Does anyone here know what other teams were interested in him and may have drafted him? NO!!!!
Therefore…stop with the “we coulda picked him up as an UDFA” nonsense
No guarantee he woulda wanted to come here anyway
Bottom line.. Reg said he’s looking for depth in the draft this year. I like his strategy. Eff upside. Now whether these picks pan out…. we shall see. But I like his strategy
April 28th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Sammy Brown

Brett Roy could be a very, very good one.

This draft should be filed away as a formality. Should really count as Al Davis last draft since it still had so many of his fingerprints all over it. Next year should be the draft for which we really judge Reggie McKenzie in my opinion.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Berg and burris may start by mid yr. Criner will see playing time. Crawford and cristo to practice squad. Stupar will see spec team action. Cristo has so much upside.

******************
I’m not saying he’s terrible. I actually think he’s played better on the inside of the line when he’s had the chance. But he’s not a playmaker..and is not much of a threat as a pass rusher. I really liked him coming out of college..i’m just tired of seeing him disappear for quarters at a time. He’s the type of player we all love…but the reality is we need better numbers from him (i know the same could be said for many of the players on our defense) u feel me?
April 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
If these guys give solid depth and special teams play then this draft would be successful.
Don’t see any of these guys becoming stars but they have their shot.
Hope all of them make the best of it.

That is an interesting way to look at it but RM did get about half the picks. Even next year will have our 1st or 2nd taken away for the CP trade.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
AIG, i bet Cristo becomes a special teams ace this year!
Bergstrom will start over Carlisle week 1 if his pass protection cleans up! yes im counting on hope more than reality, but that’s part of being a raider fan!
April 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
2 cents
Fingerprints:
Aaron Curry for a 7th
TP for a 3rd in Supplemental
Barksdale and Jones for a 2nd
Campbell for a 4th
As for Hue – A 1st this year and conditional 2nd next year for CP.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
I think if Reg can somehow pluck one proven starting CB from the annual training camp cap casulaties…I will feel pretty comfortable heading into the season.

Boy, Raiders get absolutely no mention in regard to anything on NFLN.
Raiders ARE still in the NFL right?
Seems since Al has left us we have descended into non-existent status.
Kinda strange since we won the “Best Team Ever” fan popularity contest on NFL.COM.
Seems like Al Davis (for good or bad) was the only thing the national media found interesting about the Raiders.
I’m not looking for Raider praise (it’d be nice i admit) but more looking for their legitimate “take” on whats going on with us.
It’s obvious they don’t even care enough to try and figure out what’s up with us.
All the analyzing is based on what they hear 3rd hand I guess.
We have truly become the leagues irrelevant franchise.
Al’s gone so who cares about us anymore.

I am no more impressed with the 1st rounders than the 7th rounders, and never have been.
To me Andrew Luck is now an overpaid schlub. Remember when praises were sung about Matt Lienart, and Sanchez?? I watched many Stanford games and thought Luck was mediocre.
The rest of the 1st rounders are probably underperformers in the NFL too.
Let’s hear it for the late rounders and may the 1st rounders all be out of the league within 3 yrs.

Next up: Aaron Henry, S, Wisconsin. Very good UDFA signing there.
April 28th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Stuff on Nathan Stupar:
“Strengths:
•Good speed
•Solid overall athleticism
•Shows well in coverage, particularly zone
•Good hands and ball skills
•Solid tackler
•Extensive special teams experience
•Hard worker, improved every year
•Good blitzer
•High football IQ, academic All-Big Ten Honoreee
•Good instincts
•Blue collar player, great motor that never stops running
•NFL pedigree
Weaknesses:
•Undersized
•Can get engulfed by lineman
•Only started seven games in his career
•Can take poor angles at times
•Struggles to get off blocks
•Will sometimes gear up too fast and overpursue
•Little to no experience in man coverage
Nathan Stupar is the next in a long line of Penn State linebackers looking to make a name for himself in the NFL.
Stupar is a solid overall athlete that comes from an athletic family with NFL pedigree.
His grandfather played football at Tennessee, his father and three uncles played at Penn State. One of his uncles is Jeff Hostetler, former Raiders Pro Bowl QB. Brother, Jonathan, is a TE that played at UVA and spent 2008-2010 with the Bills and is currently a free agent.
Stupar only started seven games in his career, as a senior following an injury, but he had extensive playing time as part of a rotation of linebackers as a junior and senior.
Stupar was the nickel linebacker for much of his career and has experience dropping into coverage and blitzing.
He improved every season and was good enough to catch NFL scouts eyes with a combine invite.
Stupar is best suited to play weakside linebacker in a 4-3 in the NFL.
At worst, he should be a core special teams player and solid backup/nickel linebacker in the NFL but if he continues to improve, he has the natural skills and athleticism to develop into a starter in the NFL.
Stupar’s best fit would be with a team that runs a 4-3 base looking for a boost in special teams that needs a backup WILL like Chicago, Philadelphia, or Detroit.”
—————————————————
From a Pats site:
“He’s starting to rise and really helped himself at the combine.
He posted a very solid forty yard dash time of 4.75 seconds. But, it was the agility drills where he really turned heads. Nathan was able to post the fastest 3 Cone drill of any LB at 6.84 seconds. He also posted top 5 times in the 60 yard shuttle, and looked fluid and agile in LB drills.
Stupar was very happy with his performance calling it “an honor just to be invited, I was happy with my time, but know I can run faster”.
Stupar is another player to watch as the draft gets closer. At the very least he will be able to make a roster and contribute right away as a core special teams player. Like he did at Penn State, Stupar will likely work his way up the roster and find a way to make an impact on the defense.”

*********************
Not saying Al mortgaged our future on these picks – maybe on cap issues but not on picks but his picks exercised in this draft continue to play a role in the 2012 Raiders – Pryor, Barksdale, Jones, Curry. Also we used our 4th for Campbell who is not even part of the team anymore. In addition Hues pick 1st this year and 1st or 2nd next year will have an impact for good or bad in CP.
I think RM did a great job in FA and Draft in light of what he had to work with. He had some great talent to work with and has kept much of it while adding role players in key positions to fill in at this point both in the Draft and FA. Only performance during the season will ultimately tell how successful RM was obviously.

You know you’re getting a tough, hard-working kid when drafting a LB from Penn State, but athleticism is often their downfall, looks like that won’t be the case for Nathan Stupar.
I like this 7th round pick.
