Didn't the Giants just win the Super Bowl with starting DEs Michael Strahan (6-foot-5, 255) and Usi Umenyiora (6-foot-3, 261)?
Don't the Bears have one of the better pass rushes with DEs that go 255, 260 and 260, respectively?
Besides, last I checked
Derrick Burgess doesn't have a lifetime contract. I would hope the Raiders are drafting for the next 10 years, not the next 16 games.
The irony is that some here desperate want the Raiders to draft Darren McFadden despite having two returning 1,000-yard rushers (including one who just got a new contract), as well as a guy with first-round talent waiting for his chance. That's perfectly logical, I guess. Never mind the fact that time and time again it's been proven teams don't need a star running back to won.
But having more than one pass rusher? Both about the same size? Heaven forbid! Lord knows the Raiders don't need help in that category. (sarcasm off)
