Raiders trade fifth-round pick
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, April 28th, 2012 at 11:38 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders weren’t able to trade their third- and fourth-round picks in this year’s NFL draft because they were compensatory. General manager Reggie McKenzie wasted little time pulling the trigger on a trade as soon as he got to one that was movable.
The Raiders traded pick No. 148 to the Detroit Lions for Nos. 158 (fifth round) and 230 (seventh), which gives them six picks overall in this year’s draft.
Coincidentally, the Raiders selected wide receiver Denarius Moore at No. 148 in last year’s draft. The Lions used the pick this year on Albion cornerback Chris Greenwood.

I think we wanted Menzie and traded down to regroup
============
My theory as well.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:39 am
Pick #230 basically means Reggie can lock up one his PFAs before the draft is even over.

You forgot about Suh. They traded Megatron and Suh for our 5th.

hahahahahahaha…yeah thats value
April 28th, 2012 at 11:39 am
wow, a 7th rounder…..so what.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:40 am
Regroup?
WTF are you talking about…
If these guys don’t know what they are going to do by now a couple hours isn’t going to help figure it out…
Sell crazy someplace else…..we are all stocked up here!

i agree

A 7th rounder is one less person to have to recruit in post draft free agency. That’s of some value.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:41 am
I think we can get Fangupo or NJB at #168
I like Kaddu, Sammy Brown, Cam Johnson or Massaquoi with this pick!!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Reggie drafted Driver in the 7th.
Can’t really complain about an extra pick. When was the last time Al traded down? haha
April 28th, 2012 at 11:42 am
If the guy you want isn’t there, and other guys you like will be around later, why not get an extra pick?
April 28th, 2012 at 11:42 am
ReG will trade 148 for 2 6 round picks and 1 7th
April 28th, 2012 at 11:42 am
reggie is not ready for this….
April 28th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Still think we are going secondary this next pick ..l be surprised if we don’t draft a Punter

Very true given the last few years how certain players had multiple offers.

Starting to weird me out that Marvin Jones is still on the board. Something’s up. Or he’s this year’s Denarius Moore.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:43 am
Appreciate the info as always, I remember now why I hated watching the draft past the second round. They start ranting and just gloss over half of each damn round! I had no idea what just happened there

We should have waited on Burris til 148 and taken Norman with 129….
WRITE THAT DOWN!
=====================================
Obviously, Reggie didn’t think we could wait without losing the player. Besides, we have CBs (although their quality is yet to be determined). We don’t have LBs (and Burris helps a lot).
_____________________________________________________
Well, Raider Duck….Reggie was wrong. Not knocking him….we are all going to be wrong from time to time….but I was right….this time!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:44 am
Moved down just 10 spots for the 23rd pick in the 7th round, right in the middle (there are 46 picks in the seventh round).
Ok move.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
The key is who was the guy that Reggie wanted and someone else took that made him drop down? I’m thinking it was a CB, either Menzie or Norman.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
I think Reg will trade 148th for Julies (sp) Peppers of chicago bears and their first rd pick next year
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
S is clearly a need position.
Allen will get him a physical DB with one of these picks.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
MCf,
Man, after the last few days, it wouldn’t surprise me if Reg ‘could’ do that…
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
This next pick will be a d linemen ..write it down ..take a picture.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:45 am
I would not take a WR however. Criner and streeter are interesting
April 28th, 2012 at 11:46 am
Wow can we get this al is the raiders moron out of here. Reggie is doing a great job like both picks and an extra pick is a plus
April 28th, 2012 at 11:46 am
13. Al is gone and Reggie is ready for this! He is picking talented players with character!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
@ 30…it’s MR from his i-pad.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Reg obviously knows more than I but isn’t there a thin line between a mid seventh rounder and a UFA?
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
BigMac won’t get a DT with his remaining picks.. BOOK IT!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
I effin hate the chefs….menzie was right there…
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
We should have waited on Burris til 148 and taken Norman with 129….
WRITE THAT DOWN!
——————-
I’ll take a LB over a cb any day. We had an impact CB here in #21 and he couldnt help us at all on the D.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
SharkCatcher, it better be Massaquoi (or Winn).
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
DL or Safety.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Backstage
#22 Seriously you need to look what the Jags did – they picked up a LB with similar profile to Burris before the 13th pick in the 5th and Marshall was not as good as Burris. I graduated from Nev Reno and know those two programs. Burris would have been gone to Jags and you can write that down. You are wrong.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:47 am
And we have LB’s….but our DB’s aren’t equipped to deal with Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers for 4 of our division games this season (as it stands) if we have to watch Huff play Nickle one more snap I’m going to puke!
We needed a DB….a versatile one….and didn’t get one…instead we got an undersized versatile LB…..suitable for a hybrid college 3-3-5 defensive system….
As I said….not knocking Reggie….but we made a mistake…and Raider Nation should know it!

I just keep telling myself that D. Moore was the #148th pick last year and he catches every fuk’n in sight and some that’s not.

I believe you have to give Reggie at least a few years before you can judge that. Especially with the limited number of picks he was given and the cap situation he walked into. Remodeling a franchise does not happen in one offseason.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Backstage,
Burris is 6-2 246lbs, benches 225 31 times and 1rm at 455lbs. He is on the record as saying he uses that strength to shed blockers. How is he undersized?
April 28th, 2012 at 11:49 am
3 to go and the 2 best DT’s are still available.

If McK goes LB again, he can look at high energy, hard working, 4 year starter T Lewis from Oklahoma

CorkOnTheNFL:
Reggie McKenzie traded away a draft pick the first time he got the opportunity. #Raiders couldn’t trade 3rd- and 4th-rounders. Wants picks.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:50 am
thinking Reggie’s board doesn’t align with BSPN’s board.
Reggie saw the player he wanted was safe, thus he traded back.

Are you serious? DVD or Chimeda can blow out Norman. You have got to be kidding me. You are being sarcastic right??? We picked up 4 FAs to shore that up plus we need to see how DVD and Chi – can’t spell his name work with real def. coordinator then go CB next year as needed.

You beat Peyton by getting to him, same for Rivers. That’s how NE and SD used to beat Peyton. Who the heck did they have playing db in NE when they owned Peyton?

51. yea doesn’t sound undersized to me. shedding blockers and making tackles, something a Raider LB hasn’t been able to do consistently for how long now?
April 28th, 2012 at 11:52 am
AIG-You may be correct.
Maybe he isn’t too small….for the outside….but that isn’t my point….we likely could have gotten him at 148 and our area of need was a starter in the Nickle not depth at linebacker!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Kaddu gone to Miami.

Oh I dont disagree at all. I was more agreeing with your point in that you cant judge Reggie off of a couple picks in his first draft given the mess he walked into.
I hope that the change in defensive mentality with the players we have and the quality character people we’re adding will make a huge difference on the field.

Who is our Nickle Corner….???? Huff???? LOL…. Norman could have fit that perfectly….
All I’m saying is we need someone to cover the slot when we play Denver and San Diego….and we don’t have that person!
April 28th, 2012 at 11:54 am
Burris is an overachiever that has problems dropping in coverage. Looks like a base defense, situational, two down LB. Had some success rushing the QB
And the Lions, the recipient of the Raiders fifth round pick took Chris Greenwood, my draft favorite in that slot. Talk about irony!
Like the Raiders third round pick, not really on board with Burris. Hopefully Reg has something in mind with subsequent pick.
April 28th, 2012 at 11:55 am
T Lewis, Winn, Mossaquio or Johnson the next pick for Raiders?
Or Marvin Jones?

Our starter in Nickel is a FA aquistion from GB. You really think Norman was better than our FA?

April 28th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Jake Crawford???
April 28th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Jack Crawford
StrengthsCrawford has an amazing frame for defensive end. Taller than 6-foot-5, he is going to get his hands up and disrupt passes at the next level. Even if he has to develop early on, he can contribute right away in this aspect. He is athletic for his position and it shows when he is running down cross-field plays. He is adept at shedding blocks and getting to the ball. For a raw player, he has a surprising feel when working against the run game. He struggles against the pass and is still developing his technique to be more effective there, but his frame gives him plenty of potential.
WeaknessesCrawford is still developing as a football player. It is obvious at times that he hasn’t been playing the game very long; he has difficulty reading offensive lines and reacting to plays against the run. Once there, he is disruptive and effective, but he could be a deer in headlights early on at the next level. He is not very quick off the ball and will need to continue to develop his speed and burst. He looks nice but can’t really burst in short areas to get to the quarterback and finish the play.

By taking Crawford you are indicating you are going to run a 4-3 defense. 275 lbers (this guy has Howie Long’s height/weight measureables) can’t play the five technique. This guy won’t be able to drop in coverage, so he’s not going to play olb. I prefer the 4-3 but i thought Allen was a proponent of the 3=4. So what’s going on?
April 28th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
# 49 & #79, your fears will become reality. . .unfortunately.
As far as Crawford; does he love football? Sounds like a developmental pick. . .
