Darren McFadden Q&A
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, April 26th, 2008 at 4:02 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Darren McFadden’s conference call with local media:
Q: Were you pretty sure this would be the team for you?
McFadden: For me, I really didn’t know what to expect. I heard a lot of talk about New York, I heard a lot of talk about Oakland too. For me, I was sitting back and I was going to be happy with my name being called.
Q: Lane Kiffin said he called you this morning, what was that conversation like?
McFadden: It’s just a great feeling, he told me if I’m there at No. 4 pick, we was going to call my name. And right before he got off the phone he said he hoped to be talking to me again soon. It was something I was very proud of. I’m very happy, to be able to go to Oakland.
Q: What do you know about Lane Kiffin’s offense and how it might be a fit for you?
McFadden: I like the way he uses his running backs. When he was at USC he moved his running backs around a lot. I just love the way he does that, I feel it’s something I can bring to Oakland, being a versatile player, that I can move around and give them a different style.
Q: He’s compared you to Reggie Bush and that he can use you in similar ways. Is that what you see?
McFadden: I feel like he can use me some of the same ways they use Reggie Bush. Those are real good things and I’m very versatile.
Q: Your thoughts on coming to a place with a lot of running backs?
McFadden: Me, I want to come in and just learn the offense. I’m going to sit back and let those veterans teach me. And when the coaches call upon on me to go out there and play I’m going to go out there and give it my all.
Q: Surprised the Raiders drafted you because they had so many RBs?
McFadden: Yeah, it surprised me, but I feel like after talking with the coaching staff, that they were missing the big-play ability and that was something I could help with.
Q: What did you assure the Raiders that any off-the-field issues, character issues, were not going to be a problem?
McFadden: You know, they did a lot of research on me. They talked to everyone, and asked questions about the type of guy Darren McFadden is. And the people they talked to, evenyone than knows me, told them Darren McFadden’s a great guy. That off the field I made mistakes and it was nothing they had to be concerned with.
Q: Your thoughts on Raider nation, the Black Hole, the history of the organization, an important thing for you to carry on a tradition?
McFadden: It’s going to be very important for me to carry on a tradition. You never want to ruin a tradition, you always want to carry it on. I love the Raider Nation, they’re very passionate about the Raiders so I’m looking forward to getting out and playing for them.
Q: When you were reading pre-draft analysis that question your character, what are some things people weren’t saying that you think they should know?
McFadden: The things they don’t say about Darren McFadden is the things I’ve done around the community. I’ve been doing community events since I was in high school, going to help out, Special Olympics in high school, being able to do things like that. Then two Christmas breaks ago, we were on Christmas break, there was a plane crash at the airport in Arkansas and I went and visited the kids at the airport, I mean in the hospital. Those are a lot of things people don’t talk about.
Q: Looking forward to getting away from home, moving out here?
McFadden: I feel like it’s gonna be a good thing for me, being able to be away
from home. It’s something I’m looking very forward to.
Q: Given thought to playing with JaMarcus?
McFadden: I know it’s gonna be great to be in the huddle with him. I played against him a couple times in college. I’d much rather be on the same side of the ball he’s on.
Q: Are your blocking skills underrated?
McFadden: A lot of people don’t look at those things. Going through the draft, people competing so much, they overlook the good things that you do. And that’s something Coach Rathman pointed out that he really enjoyed, my passion for the game. And possibly he can take me to the next level. With him coaching me, he’ll be able to take me to the next level.”
Q: Anyone gonna move out here with you? How many infant car seats do you own?
McFadden: I’m planning on having my sister move out with me, where she can help me out around the house. Maybe make me feel at home while I’m away.
Q: You mean, like, do women’s work?
McFadden: (Laughs) She’s a great help around the house, you know? She’s always keeping me positive. So she can help out, watch over me a little bit for me, it’ll help me out in a lot of ways.
Q: How have the last 24 hours been for you?
McFadden: It’s been a whirlwind. You don’t know where you’re gonna go, sitting back and just waiting, and then you finally hear your name called. And when you finally get the phone call to where you’re gonna go, you be so happy.
Q: What was your favorite NFL team growing up?
McFadden: Growing up I was a Broncos fan because I liked watching Terrell Davis and John Elway play, Ed McCaffrey, Shannon Sharpe, I loved to watch those guys play.”
Q: You mention that to Al Davis?
McFadden: No, sir, not at all.
Q: Did you know before Goodell took the podium with Raiders’ pick?
McFadden: I had already known, because they had called me a couple minutes before. They gave my agent a call and gave me a call, so we already knew before they announced it.
Q: You concerned about fumbles?
McFadden: No, it’s not a concern at all, cause I talked to Coach Rathman. We both sat there and watched game film together on me. He was showing some of the things I was doing. He was telling one of the main things, I was not locking my elbow down. And that’s something that’s easily corrected, so it won’t be a problem with fumbling at all.
Q: How are your skills as a receiver.
McFadden: That shows my versatility. I have great hands coming out of the backfield. It’s something we didn’t do much in college at all. We never really threw to the running back the ball. It’s something that I feel very confident doing.
Q: Maybe they’ll let you throw it, too?
McFadden: Heh. I don’t know if they’ll want me to do that. But if they try to put in a play for me to throw it, I’d love to do it.”
Q: How do you compete about the comparisons to Reggie Bush?
McFadden: For them to compare me to Reggie Bush, I feel like he’s a very shifty guy. I like to get downhill and get running.
Q: How ready are you to step in right away? What do you need to work on?
McFadden: I feel like I’m a very skilled guy. You know, I feel like I’m ready to step in there. I’m not the type of guy that’s gonna be happy to be in the NFL, and when I get there I want to be doing great things, I don’t want to just be out there. I want to play great and make big plays.

FLPete…
then went our guy Lofton :/
April 26th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Lets just hope that Bush and McFadden will be used like Lendale White and Reggie Bush at SC. If that happens, we can really upset a lot of defenses. Im slowly starting to warm up to the pick, but I still need to see some D GET PICKED!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
you said it!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
I like the new Draft Format
April 26th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
“Anyone gonna move out here with you? How many infant car seats do you own?”
Lol, now that was a good question!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Yeah, just would have liked to keep 3rd round on day one
April 26th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
sweet!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
REPOST
RaiderDell Says:
April 26th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
MIA, Marley, Dakota, TT,BHP,Raider951, and others
Did the first round seem faster, or was it just as slow.
I thought this blog would have had more activity.
The division between DMAC and the bloggers wanting a DL was great read up to the draft.
I have a bad taste in ny mouth, I guess I’ll have to get over it soon.
I still don’t believe we have addressed our DT position, and believing we can get somone decent in the fourth round is a reach.
What is the percentage, of those type of players making a impact.
Thanks guysand to the winners of the DMAC sweepstakes and all the abuse you took, enjoy.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
maan if Denver picks up Trveor Laws we gonna meat 2 of 3 best DTs in the draft
April 26th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
RaiderDell…
yeah the new format is way faster, now each team has only 10 minutes. I like the pace now, before it was so boring
April 26th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Don’t worry Dell, we will grab Red Bryant or Frank Okam in round three…perfect DTs to play along side Kelly.
And the 1st round was waaaay faster this year…Roger knows what he is going…but I still wish round 3 was today.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
2″#09 NOS, Tracy Porter, CB
April 26th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Dakota…
bwahh bwwaaahh, but I want Trevor LAAAaaaaws!!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
solid draft by the bills so far
April 26th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
excuse, but who would call their son Tracy?
….A boy named Sue…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Okam is no good.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
TT…
In the next 3-4 years Browns, Bills and Texans will be top teams
April 26th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
HE’S ALREADY TALKING IN THE 3RD PERSON!!!! Great, we got Chad Johnson anyway! LOL.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Jason Taylor deal close?
Talk of a Jason Taylor-to-the-Bucs deal is gaining strength, and we’re hearing a trade may already be agreed to.
As told to us, the deal would involve, at a minimum, the Bucs’ second-round pick, No. 52 overall, in exchange for the 33-year-old likely Hall-of-Famer.
The Bucs have continued to bemoan the lack of a consistent pass rush, and adding a player with 117 career sacks would certainly be a step in the right direction. But there are challenges involved in this potential deal, not the least of which is addressing Taylor’s contract. Taylor is scheduled to earn $17-million over the final two years of his contract.
It’s conceivable there will be an agreement in place before the trade to restructure the contract, but it’s too early to say.

April 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
LMN,
Have you not learned a thing my friend? Laws 6′ 304 lbs…too small to play NT…no help to us just like Ellis and Dorsey. Think NT. Think Red Bryant or Okam.
Laws will be a better pro than Kelly though, but Al made his bed and now we have to sleep in it.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
LMN, add us in there, but i agree with the texans and browns
April 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
WAHOOO!!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
brokeho’s going QB? hehehehe
April 26th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Fåååårk Denver…
Eddie Royal was my top WR :/
April 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
951, yea i was a little taking back by the 3rd person garbage. but he said some good things, i hate that he is a fan of the donkeys but at the same time i am kinda glad that he idolized a ZBS running back.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
TT…
I do, I sure do, the O has no excuses now
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Dakota we have a third round pick? Did we trade to get it? I thought our next pick was 4th round 5th pick.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
royal was a hige reach
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Wow, Sammie Parker and Royal as new WR for the brokeho’s, we are going to have to field wee-man and miney-me to cover them just to give them a fair shot. Hall and Nambi are loving this!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I might as well play some poker if I’m going to follow the rest of the draft online
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Minny going to replace Jackson???
April 26th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
look for brohm, henne, jackson, or sweed to MIN
April 26th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
MIN blew it
April 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Ice, no, I am just hoping we can jump back into the 3rd and grab Red.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
brohm or henne to CHI for sure
April 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Dakota…
yeah but he hits harder than anybody else (re, Laws)
April 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Bears have a shot at a QB. Walter to daBears?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
LMN,
Yes Laws is a stud…like I said, he will be better than Kelly.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
We don’t have a third round pick
April 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
i like t.johnson but this part of the draft is strong at QB and WR THEIR BIGGEST NEEDS!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
If Bears dont go QB…I dont even know. But come on, at what point do you upgrade? Brohm still there, Henne, Woodson. Any would be a huge upgrade.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Royal?? That was a reach. They would’ve been better off with Desean.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Jackson in Min is screwed. They don’t have a 3rd so no real WR help again this year. Looks like another big year for AP.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
TT…
they should go for Henne then, I think he is better than Brohm, but I know i’m a minority =)
April 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Dakota ok and I am happy for you with our pick of McFadden.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
They have to replace Tavaris. He sux
April 26th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Someone should call Oakland already. These qb’s are suspect at best. Walter is a top pac-10 qb.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
RB, what the hell was that?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Bears suck
April 26th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
OH MY GOD!! The Bears are retarded.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
WOW?!?!?!?!?!? i though they would take forte but over brohm!?!?!?!??!?! and right now?!?!?!??!?!?!?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Then Vikings or Lions will take Henne or Brohm =)
April 26th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
And the Bears DON”T take a QB????????????? What are they thinking????
April 26th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
I wish Brohm was in the green room, lol. Watching Quinn squirm last year was good tv!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
We´re getting the Lions 45th pick..
April 26th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Any body have any news on us trading for pick?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
next teams needing a qb are the lions and buc’s. The buc’s collect them so they should take on soon.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
All the teams in that NFC North Division have absolute crap for QB’s. Except one. Green Bay. And that team won the division practically every year. What a bunch of imbeciles.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
for what bob?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
If we went with Dorsey, DMAC would have fallen to KC,… then all you armchair QB’s would be complaining for the next 5 years how lame we were passing on DMAC watching him gut us (Dorsey) for 200+ twice a season.
Run DMC was a great pick that will help the O get going in so many ways. Dorsey was a monster in college, but DMC got the best of him every time they met and I think that is what tipped the Raiders hat, IMHO.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
…You know how Al hates to give anything up to his division opponents….
April 26th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Millen is probably going to take a wide reciever.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Theres no way KC woulda picked McFadden
April 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
charles to DET
April 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
nevermind
April 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
I think Rhodes and Jordan are out and Bush won’t be happy to be the third back behind Fargas and DMAC, I odn’t think we are going to cut Fargas anyways I tell you what, if we want to win, we need to get OL who are mean and can Pass block not run block….
April 26th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Haaaa, Lions will draft Manningham
April 26th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Dorsey wasn’t the DL that I really wanted. Ellis was. Either him or Rivers. But it doesnt matter. DMC is a Raider and as long as he stays out of trouble I’m glad to have him aboard. That doesn’t mean that I won’t bust on him and his baby momma drama. If he turns out like fumbles fargas in his first couple of years I’m going to be pissed!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
OK pick for DET but connor would have been better
April 26th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Bungles will take a WR.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
2″#14 DET, Jordan Dizon OLB
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
go lakers
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
redskins could trade one of their 2nds for washington and stu together, they need a S, or at least options at the position to replace taylor, and they need a CB badly, it would be nice to get one of those picks
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
I was not all for DMac before the draft and maybe passing up Dorsey will be a mistake. But when I heard Daren McFadden’s name called, my gut didn’t tell me it was a bad thing. Many NFL guys think this guy’s ceiling is sooo high. If they are right…options for the Raider O are endless.
The decisions are over…think of the possibilities if DMac delivers.
One Nation Baby…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Beagles could take a QB too.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
#63 - even the outside possibility is a sure thing to AD. Recent history has shown that he will do anything to prevent even the slightest notion of a chance that a div rival will get one up on him…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
we should get Trevor Laws DT and Dexter Jackson WR and if we are really lucky, then also desean jackson WR, no one seemed to have even looked at him so far.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Ok,..Iwill try and type….I am all messed up on Norcos and beer,…no vino today…DMAC is who I wanted for the last 2 months,..check the archives…for all you fans who are unhappy,..F-U,…I liked Dorsey too,…great player,..sad hes a Chief…but we now have an all world back…Im thrilled today,…I will pop another Norco and another beer…the Raiders today took a huge step towards greatness,…all the neg-heads can go to Hell.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
triple double for kobe dakota
April 26th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Kansas City already got one over on us when they got Dorsey
April 26th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
jackson and sweed still there WOW!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Lakers are cremating the Nuggets.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Odd pick by CIN
April 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Now we get to see DMC point at his name silver on black after another great play for the RRRRAAAAIII-DERRRRSS!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I knew I should have stayed in Denver to watch the Lakers crush the Nuggs….DAAAAAMN.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
i got half a G on the sweep, so this is music
April 26th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Eagles should WR here
April 26th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Looks like youll win that bet, Nuggets look like they give up half way through the 3rd of each game
April 26th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Jackson, Sweed, Mario, and Kelly are still there, and out of all people, the bengals didn’t choose any of them!!! Hopefully they all fall down to the 4th round, though i doubt that will happen
April 26th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
2″#15 CIN Jerome Simpson, WR
April 26th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Philly will pick DE and WR soon
April 26th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
You are a sissy if you dont chew your norcos and chase them with red can coke.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
connor to eagles
April 26th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Nice…Laws is a stud.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
bye bye laws
April 26th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Some of these mediocre teams make the most innane picks. I guess that’s why they continue to be mediocre. Dizon in the middle of the 2nd?? I really like Jordan but waaaay to high. The WR from Coastal Carolina???? Waaaay to high.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
DAMN IT!!!! THE EAGLES CHOOSE TREVOR LAWS!!!!!THE RAIDERS SHOULD HAVE GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!11
April 26th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Why did they take Laws? They didnt need him.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
laws is now gne, sorry, lot of you wanted him, but with bunkley and patterson already does this mean patterson could be available? they’re al 3s
April 26th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
we have got to get more picks!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Bengals make a stupid pick
April 26th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
davis to skins when they have cooley?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
What’s new? LOL
April 26th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Trojans all over the place. STILL the top football factory.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Limas Sweed would look good in Silver N Black
Hope he keeps falling…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
what do you guys think of Dan conner mlb
April 26th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
FINALLY, Davis is off the board!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
nothing special has happened yet…
it’s like we’re going “all in” will McFadden….
Dorsey made so much more sense…
but, hey.. if mcdaddy starts crossing the goal-line say 2 or 3 times a game…
i’ll get over it…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
You gotta think if we make a move for Fabian its Low 2nd or tomorrow in the 3rd……
April 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
We need to trade in, there’s a ton of talent still available… I wish they were still doing 3 round today though. I don’t think we need a NT, I think Sands will rebound, if we draft defense right now it has to be LB or DE, but I’d prefer drafting a WR right now, Walker, Curry, Carter honestly isn’t that good.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
best available OTs:
Anthony Collins
Jeremy Zuttah
Oniel Cousins
April 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Jackson to Philly…
April 26th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Clemons and Laws, the future line of the eagles :/ Doh’
April 26th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
TT,
Cooley is like a hybrid H-Back/TE…Davis did shock me there but he is a true big TE.
Wish List…..Dan Oconnor, Desean Jax, Limas Sweed, Qentin Groves….
April 26th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Man, you guts are full S…, a HB has 5 to 7 yrs of decent production, a DT has 12 to 14 yrs. Money is everything,we drafted Bush, paid for Fargas and we get DMAC now makes no sense economically. Our problem was stopping the Run, we had the worst run defense in league for the past 2 yrs. Sand was bust and Kelly could get to the Quarterback but can’t stop the run. Dis wat Dorsey gives us a guy who can stop the run dat we need… I don’t understand how some of you are happy when you saw da Giants win a championship with Jacobs and Bradshaw????? We didn’t need another RB we need a run stopper. PERIOD
April 26th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
there goes sweed too…………….
April 26th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Shite there goest Desean Jackson to Philly!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
McFadden better be special!
If not, the organization owes the fans a BIG apology for putting this much pressure on a D-line light on talent.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
You look at the guys who know how to build teams. Andy Reid is one of them, and he ALWAYS spends high pix on Dlinemen.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I want Limas Sweed.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
man eagles have had a good draft so far, plus the offseason
April 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Would NE at the end of the second make a deal to get Fabian???
April 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Man, you guts are full S…, a HB has 5 to 7 yrs of decent production, a DT has 12 to 14 yrs. Money is everything,we drafted Bush, paid for Fargas and we get DMAC now makes no sense economically.

We didn’t need another RB we need a run stopper. PERIOD
April 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
what do you guys think of Dan Conner as Ilb out of Penn State?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
True Raider…Didnt you hear Lane Kiffen??
We paid big bucks to Kelly at 3-Technique and moving dorsey to nose was not prudent.
Give Kelly (healthy) Sands (over deaths in family) and rotating Gerard Warren should be a big upgrade over last year plus Gibril in the box dont hurt either
We might scratch that…we Have something special in the backfield…our backfield didnt scare ANYONE! Bush is unknown plus he will be used with Dmac.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
115…read what Kiffin had to say and send him and e-mail or something.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Bring on September
April 26th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
F’N McFadden better get 2,000 yards this season or he will be a bust IMO.
Too many good, stable, D-lineman were passed up for this guy.
If he turns out like Bush in NO, I will be pissed.
Biggest highlight for Bush was him getting F’N plowed by Philly and crawling around with his D*ck in his watch-pocket.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
TrueRaider, we read your BS the first time, no need to post it again.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
kiffin said they might trade up if theres a guys there they really want….how about if sweed or kelly , quentin groves or dan connor keep falling
April 26th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
NE is a good possibility to take either Fab’s or Stan. They could use a CB. Both of them are better then what is left or what they currently have. Its just a matter of getting them to pull the trigger.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Biggest highlight for Bush was him getting F’N plowed by Philly and crawling around with his D*ck in his watch-pocket.
I am a USC fan, and i like reggie bush but that quote is some funny SH!t. ROFLOL
April 26th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Going to the 2 back systems now running backs will last longer, people are learning that 300+ carry seasons aren’t good for rb’s, it won’t happen with DMAC. I bet Sands will have a big year at NT too.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
pathetic to see such unprofessional questions. Hope these weren’t Jerry’s
Q: Anyone gonna move out here with you? How many infant car seats do you own?
McFadden: I’m planning on having my sister move out with me, where she can help me out around the house. Maybe make me feel at home while I’m away.
Q: You mean, like, do women’s work?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
GREAT pick for skins
April 26th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
shit, there goes kelly too. Sweed is still there right?
April 26th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
M.I.A. ok fine, but do you see our OL protecting our QB? don’t you guys think we need a LT and C, I remember the game against Detroit and Grove was getting hammered by Shaun Rogers and now the Pigs got big Rob, what you guys think?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I agree Pirate…thise questions were uncalled for…but kinda funny.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Kelly gone.
Raiders will end up with Manningham. With his weed smokin and a 6 on his Wonderlic test.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I bet Sweed won’t outlast Pittsburgh.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
F manningham, 3rd grader iq
April 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
k-Rock expect 2,000yds, but probably 1300-1400 rushing and 500-800 recieving
April 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
TT what happened to your top 10 players and limas sweed…lol its pick 52 and hes still there
April 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
TrueRaider? WTF? We signed Harris (LT) and Wade (C). Have you been in a coma the last two months?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Not sure there will be a WR worth trading up to get. If the top 5 are all gone keep fab, stan and stu until the preseason and then look for a trade partner.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
K-Rock, Post 128 thats funny S#!t cant stop laughing
April 26th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
harris sucks though he cant pass block at all
April 26th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
thomas, kelly, davis, kooley, moss, portis; does campbell have some weapons or what?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
TT….
We haven’t had a WR get 800 yards. Now we are gonna have a HB get that many?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
We will trade up for Red Bryant or a LB…not a WR. We have Curry, Carter, JLH and Walker at WR.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
i bet sweed goes to the bucs here…they need a reciever
April 26th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
even with a 6 on the lick, you can use him for a fade or post.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
let’s hope we can get him, he’s still top 10 on my board, he’s the best WR prospect in the draft this year
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
No! Groves Gone!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Buc close to closing deal with jason taylor. Glad he did not go to the dischargers.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
good pick for jaguars
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
“Knock his Dck in his watch-pocket!!”- My HS Coach
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
JLH isn’t a WR. That was obvious last year. huge disapointment. Mike Williams had more catches, but the were all called back because gallery couldn’t keep from getting caught holding.
DAMN IT! There goes groves too! I hate JVille.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
omg you guys who keep whinin bout the dmac pic are f’n irritatin. if u dnt like it that much n are so intrigued wit d lineman y dnt u jus jump ship and root 4 the chiefs and dorsey or esle shut the fk up bcus hes our pic except it. sheeesh.)>:
April 26th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
those WRs have 9 major surgeries, dan connor would be worth trading up
April 26th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
sweed is too insecure with the ball
April 26th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
pit or ten will take sweed, but both could also use CBs
April 26th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
I bet sweed will go to either pittsburg or the titans.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Big ben will get his WR.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Dakota-Curry, Carter, JLH, and Walker is a pretty weak recieving corps, it could use a Limas Sweed.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Now Now Dakota…easy on TrueRaider
WTF True Raider have you been in a comma Harris (LT) and Wade (C) !!
LOL…just playin…I TRUST IN CABLE…PERIOD.
Thats my case and Im sticking to it.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
951,
JLH is a WR. WRs take time to develop, don’t give up on him yet…the Raiders certainly have not.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
i dont like the mcfadden pick but hopefully it works out, its good his sisters coming if might keep him out of jail. you just gotta wonder what we are gonna do with 5 decent running backs on our roster
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I guess Jax has their pass-rushers now =)
April 26th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
man, this is one insane second round, these teams did some horrible scouting and value here
April 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Ten has to be going crazy. They never would have believed that a top WR would fall in their laps this far down in the 2nd.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
there goes sweed
April 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
there goes sweed
April 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Brohm or Henne pick coming up?? Baltimore???
April 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
so I wonder if Jerry’s blog will become the hate McFadden blog. He thought he was so smart saying over and over that we’d take Gholston, so certain we wouldn’t take McFadden when it was so blatantly obvious that we would. I’m sure he’s bitter about it all and will make it his mission to trash McFadden for the next five years. I fear it will grow tiring and be the death of this blog, at least for me.
At least there’s Jason Jones’ blog. He seems to have a much better understanding and insights on the Raiders. While Jerry was insisting we were going to pick Gholston, Jason Jones said:
* The latest I’ve heard: Darren McFadden is (or should be) the pick for the Raiders.
* As I stated yesterday, my talks with folks lead me to believe McFadden will be the pick.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Dont give up on JLH yet fellas…after all he wasnt given the opporunities with the Tim Dwight signing..even admitted by Lane that that was foolish.
He has football speed not track speed. Now he has Lofton..mulligan on year one if you ask me.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
its sad to say but the chiefs have probably had one of the better drafts of the day
April 26th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Sweed to Steelers.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Lima sweed is what Pittsburgh lost in Plaxico
April 26th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
tired of fast guys with no hands or route running ability. you would have thought the james jett / willy gault drama would have fixed that……huhhhhh, now sweed is gone and all hope of a good WR making it to Oaktown……damn.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
dakota, they aready took flacco #18
April 26th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
manninghams still there are supposedly he had a good visit with the raiders
April 26th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
j-mac should have put the c-pipe down with his talk about us taking th ghost.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
Two comments from Q & A I didnt like:
One: DMAC loved the Broncos growing up (grrrrr)
Two: He needs his sister to keep him in check..I hope its just family comfort and not necessary supervision.
I really hope we keep an eye on him because his talent is undeniable. Excited about Cable and Rathman working with him to even further increase his potential.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
TT,
lol….doh! I am a dumbazz.

———
quoting this for truth. unfortunate only about 1% of the people can see this.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
What about LBs TT?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Dakota, they already got a qb. Higgins has “potential” but there is only so much you can coach out of someone. There is a reason they got Dwight, Carter, Williams. He just isnt that good. I would love to eat crow on this comment. please JLH, prove me wrong……until then, GET BETTER!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
This blog is way more interesting than watching the draft. we have zero picks right now. Hey are they only doing 2 rounds today?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Dakota no I wan’t, I know about those moves it is just that Wade and Harris aren’t that special players you would depend on them to protect Jamarcus. Harris was considered a bust and Wade is a backup now in his career not a solid center like Faine who we should have went for. I mean Harris always played RT and now he is our starting LT??? Comeon guys this should be a big concern
April 26th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
lots of good DL about to hit the fan
April 26th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
yeah, just the 1st and 2nd today
April 26th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Mario Manningham (or however you spell his name) is still out there, think we should get him?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
WOW they left the WR on the board…….Vince Young must be going CRAZY!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
there’s some great LB options in the 4th and 6th, we can wit for that; and there are some good OTs still
April 26th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
TrueRaider….Trust in Cable…Trust me on this
April 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
R.A.W.
He is on our Radar possibly in the 4th and wouldnt be surprised if he fell that far…he has been rumored to drop to the second day.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Bernard Berrian is a comparable player to JLH, former 3rd rounders, supposedly skilled in the return game and known for their speed, I think Berrian caught 28 passes during his first 2 seasons before he started to break out.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
TrueRaider…trust in Tom Cable. Our o-line was much better last year, and we have replaced our two biggest concerns, Simms and Groves…so things will probably get better. Another year in the system for Gallery, Cooper and Green/McQuistan, so they should be much better too. Relax.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
I am glad the discghargers dont have a lot of picks. hope we rack up 500 yards on the ground against them. j williams knees are shot.
I think our staff has a pretty good idea about the guys they brought in. I feel comfortable knowing we made some moves before the draft.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
OT,s especially LT’s are very hard to get in later rounds becuase if they were good enough of play LT they would be picked in the first two rounds. we need to make a move for DAN CONNOR if hes still there soon
April 26th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
M.I.A hope you r right, I believe 9-7 is not far away if our defense is solid and our OL line gives time to Jamarcus
April 26th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Face it guys. The starters for the Raiders are on the squad already.
No one picked from here out will make much of impact, except maybe on special teams.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
We have a shot with GB getting ready to pick to ship out a player they need. CB or QB. SS isn’t that big of need so Stu is safe.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
we replaced our concerns with even bigger oline concerns, does that make sense
April 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
JLH better FV@king man up this year. He looked a dear in head lights. Panicsonic. He need to manthe F@Ck up.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
k-rock, we’ll add a rotational pass rusher, competition at NT, competition at slot, competition at OLB, and competition at LT, and probably end up with at least one, maybe two, starters
April 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Here’s to McFadden being the next Emmitt Smith!
Just hope he isn’t the next Akili Smith.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
M.I.A. , If Mario is in the second day, should we get him? cuz i really like Dexter Jackson, then we do have to address our linemen for both sides of the field. I’m getting worried bout the chiefs dorsey and albert. their good players in a bad team.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
8 more picks today
April 26th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Damn, Herm Edwards doesnt even know the names of the players they picked.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Roger…bring back the 3rd round in day one!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Look the sky is not falling. We have replaced the old system of doing things last year. We replaced the regime of futility last year.
We have a complete new line of coaches that have a better understanding of how football is played in the new millinium. Relax have a cream soda the coaches know WTF they are doing.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I hope cable can work his magic on C and LT so JR doesn’t get killed this year. When he landed on his head last year I thought he broke his neck! No more of that sheet!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Agreed, 3rd rd should be day 1
April 26th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
forget smith, expect OJ……….without the murder………hopefully………..or at least not until after his career……….
April 26th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
STEAL for GB!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Mario is someone we will probably nab in round 4 without having to trade up IMO.
I think if we trade up at this point it should be Dan Connor
April 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Looks like Packers are trying to give Favre a hint that they dont want him back.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
RAW…
yup the Chiefs have had an excellent draft, hope one of pulls a ACL or something
April 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
now henne to dolphins
April 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
The Best QB on my board was just chosen…Brohm is the real deal.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
who is the best LB remaining, I think we should try get a solid fast LB who can complement Morrison and Howard. What you guys think? Tom is a big day in our success
April 26th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
TT —-> you compare dmac to OJ?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Parcells loves Henne…its a High Possiblity.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Sheet, we still have Walter.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Wow…now STFU Farve and go ride your 4-wheeler around your 400 acres and quit showing your mug on tv.
Farve, most overrated QB in NFL history.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Come on bill, call al
April 26th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Woaw If Miami picks Henne the QB knows his LT, thats for sure =)
April 26th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
The way these wide recievers have sliding, it wont surprise me if Early Doucet slides to us in the 4th. I just love how these experts mock drafts were completely wrong. Every year so-called 1st rounders fall to the 3rd, 4th rnd and then some no-name we’ve never heard of ends up being a 1st round pick. Looks like a QB contraversy just started in Greenbay, they just took Brian Brohm.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
LMN
Yea, i was hoping dorsey gets injured the first day of their mini camp and that albert pulls a brandon marshall, only this time it should be his head not his arm =)
April 26th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Yeah mel kiper thinkshe is the all seing eye. cant stand that F@Ck.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
thec, he’s a more powerful marshall faulk, so i think OJ is a better comparison than smith, smith was a good RB who was a product of arguably the best OL in NFL history, although you could also argue that distinction for 76′, but the game advances over time, and the older teams fall behind

————-
what can you say about this?
1. Harris was considered talented enough to be a 1st round pick. Read the interview with him and Cable’s comments about how he was out of position at RT, how SF used him wrong, and Cable is confident he’ll be good at LT. I trust Cable’s opinion MUCH more than anonymous people commenting on a blog.
2. Wade is a backup? He started 16 of 16 games in five of the last six years. same age and much more durable than Newberry.
3. Should have signed Faine? a 6-year $37 million contract with $15 mil guraunteed for a center is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I think you guys are some seconds ahead of me, has Miami picked Henne?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Dan Conner is an absolutely excellent Inside LB, Probably not as good as either Mayo or Lofton, even tho he was rated by some higher, but a very good player.
You guys I was the first one to say I wanted Dlinemen early and often. The problem was as soon as Chris Long went off the board, Dmac was our only choice. By adding Dmac we instantneously have the best rushing attack in the entire AFC West division, a division known for it’s top rushers. We just made our QB better and we just made our coach better.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
no dakota, elway was the most overrated of all time
April 26th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Rick the Hunter
Wow, thanks, i forgot all about Early Doucet!!!! though i doubt he will be available in the fourth round, maybe if we trade fabe or rout for a third…..
April 26th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Tommy, no offense but saying Elway is overrated is absolutely insane.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
yeah muahahahaah LOL

Now, I know Walter is better the Booty’s sorry azz. Mr. my finger hurts I don’t want to play. Let my team suck with the back up………sorry beezterd. Keep Walter, make SD take Booty to back up rivers so we can crush bothof them this year!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
what a steal! to keep Left Tackle and QB together
April 26th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
TT, you still remember that 76 83 discussion.
OJ ran for 2,003 yards in 14 games so until someone runs for 2,290 in a single season OJ will be the S#!t.
But all that being said DMAC is the one. I hopethey let him take some direct snaps.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Marino is the most overrated of all time!
April 26th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

farve most overated, the media treats this dude like the pope. Why do we need to see anything about farve on draft day. Elway won 2 farve 1 that should be the stick not 5000000 million yards.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
We will get a player in the 4th no need to panic and if we can steal a player, then you make a move but don’t give away talented pros for a maybe. None of those WR’s excite me. and almost all the LBers are falling. Manningham in the 4th or Lavell Hawkins in the 5th. There’s a LBer from USC Thomas Williams who’s a player that will be there in the 5th or later just be patient no need to panic. Larry Grant from Ohio St. very good SLB.
You’ll be surprised.

Rhodes can run back kicks and punts. Its going to be the only way he sees the field. We are the NFL’s version of USC football
April 26th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Fro, Everyday and 4x’s on sunday. Josh is going to get crushed as a starter in Miami. Long isnt enough to keep him upright.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
all these WRs are crap. If you like JL Higgins, Carlos Francis, Johnny Morton, etc., that’s what you’ll be getting. All crap this year except maybe Hardy, who has a lot of flaws anyway.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Watched a lot of college footbal. Hawkins is a good reciever. Not like dear in head lights JLH
April 26th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
But JL higgins has a dirty name. Does that count for anything?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Thec…
if the pedigree follows i hope you are right, but if it means we will be a college team playing against pro teams then i hope you are wrong =)
April 26th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Exactly Pirate…Doug Gabriel is better than most of these guys, lol.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Thec, troy was a product of the system, not a great qb. Without emmit and that OL, he was toast. Plus he can’t even spell his own name anymore because of all the concussions.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
LMN, Its all about system. What USC means to college football thats what we will mean to the NFL.
in the 2000’s USC hands down is the most dominate football team in college football PERIOD.
Thats what the Raiders will look like a domintate team in the NFL.

yikes Jerome Simpson and Jason Jones gone already. Man I was hoping both of them would be around in the 4th. I been hyping Jerome since the senior bowl, he is gonna be a good player in this league.

two left……..we have until tomorrow to pull a trade.

You can quote me, and if I’m wrong I’ll admit it like a man…but when it’s all said and done, I strongly believe Chad Johnson will end up in Silver and Black. The Raiders Return to Greatness is Inevitable.

Why not just keep Fasano??? Fasano must have asked out of Dallas.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
951 agreed but he got it done. Thats all that matters is getting it done. Rings not things.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
well, we all expected a 3rd for washington

You’re comparing QB’s from different eras. Remember, defensive back rules have GREATLY CHANGED, OVER the last 5-10 years. The game has been changed to make it easier for QB’s. You can’t hit them, you can’t check the receivers. It’s a totally different game than even 10 years ago. That’s a major reason guys like Manning and Brady look better than they actually are. But the point about Elway is, when he brought his team to the Super Bowl 3 times his first 7 years in the league, since he was apparently not very good, who was good on those teams??????

This has to be where Dan Connor goes…NYG.

pats need cb’s, could this be the spot? who is left at OLB, DT, DE that would be worth trading back into the draft for?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
You can qoute me as well, we will win SB in 3 years.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
The WR’s left that I like…
Jordy Nelson
Early Deucet
Marcus Smith

NE would rather pay a rookie to play CB than pay Washington’s salary I guess.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
they took a cb, just not one of ours.
April 26th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
jordy is gone isn’t he?
April 26th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
1. Montana Bradshaw
2. Aikman
3. Brady
4. Starbach
5. Elway
These QB’s cover the 70’s 80’s 90’s 2000’s

the OL and D were great on those teams, the game as a whole is so much more advanced today and so much more complicated, QBs must be much more cerebral and much more accurate today to survive in the league, elway was a terrible decision maker, he was clutch, that is all he can claim, no QB in NFL history is as technically sound and accurate as brady and manning
