Kiper grades draft: B- for Raiders

[raider07]

ESPN - Draft yields quantity, and plenty of quality, for Chiefs - NFL

We all know what Darren McFadden can do. I really liked Oakland's second-round pick, Connecticut CB Tyvon Branch. He can help out in the return game, and also has great catch-up speed. Wide receiver Arman Shields hurt his knee early in the season and fell off the radar, but he's a developmental receiver.

That's Fair. I'd personally give our Draft a solid B. I'm EXTREMELY, E-X-T-R-E-M-L-Y excited for the upcoming season.

Welcome to Oakland Darren McFadden!!!!!!!


Run DMC.....Finally in Oakland.

I feel the same way hopefully we just solidified two major skill positions for a decade with these last two first round picks in JaMarcus Russell and MacFadden. What I loved abut MacFadden was his size mixed in with his speed. SEC as much as I hate to admit this has the best defenses, so D Mac doing what he did in that conference says something about him. He also racked up the yards against LSU which tells me a lot about D Mac when it comes to the prime time games.

I love this kid!
