Watkins, Schilens make Raiders roster - NFL - Yahoo! Sports


Good job Watkins and Schilens. From now on, we should draft WRs only in the 7th round!!!! LOL

Lawton might come back when Kalimba Edwards is healed. Guess Raiders figured they could release him without him being picked up before they would hire him back.

Yeah, I like both those guys. Good for them.

I'd expect them to get as much playing time as Johnnie Morant and Carlos Francis did

glad they made the team i really like Schilens.

When we drafted Morant and Francis I think we still had Jerry Rice , Porter , Curry, Gabriel and Whitted on the Roster.


You can be right but I won't be surprised if we use Watkins and Chaz more over Higgins on offense more since Higgins has to return kicks


We will still sign a vet WR but as of right now just let these two young WRs play and see what they can do in a REAL game

diehardraider.. i see us using them both a lot. like BH said i think we will see them playing more then higgins

those two are 1 psychotic breakdown and 1 achilles tear away from starting. Both are better then "I only made the team on scholarship and inconsistent return abilities" Higgins.

That is pretty funny...unfortunately this may come to fruition a lot faster than we think!!!

I like both of them, happy they made it.

right when we drafted Francis and Morant i think one year we had 6 the other year 7 WRs on the roster they are 4 and 5 so they are going to get time unless someone else is signed.

By the way if yuo want a vet I think now the most intriguing guy is Roydell Williams he was coming off a broken ankle which is why the titans cut him his stats were virtually identidcal to curry's last year and he is a deep threat

I like both of them. They both go balls to the wall

[Stabler2Branch]

Glad to hear it, they've worked hard and been fun to watch. I hope Chaz (can't get used to the name) sees some real playing time.

I'm a little bummed we kept Higgins. Would rather have the FB Lawton back. Higgins' supposed upside is his return ability but he's as much a liability as a plus. I'd rather have someone more consistent even if they're more boring. If JLH is really here to stay I hope he rises to the occasion.

Good for the both of them. I thought they played pretty hard all preseason, especially in the last game when they had to.

The Chaz thing I get,we have seen him in games and seen what he can do for the team. Todd Watkins i dont get I have not seen anything out on the field that shows that this guy is any good. I have only read that he does well in practice but in the last couple games I have seen or atleast the Seahawks game he droped balls and stoped running routes which is a huge no no. Like I said the Chaz thing I see he has good size and speed. He has also done good things in games made some great plays. I think our future will be in Arman and Chaz if they get better this offseason. Unless we draft someone next year with a high draft pick then we are stuck with them.
