AFC grades: Top marks for Pats, Steelers, Raiders - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Thanks bro. I wasn't very happy with the pick initially but after talking with a friend close to the situation, I feel better about the decision for McFadden.

nice find

I really wanted Dorsey, but I understand the reasoning behind McFadden. But day 2 confused me. Hopefully we can trade some of the excess at DB & RB and help out in the trenches.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I think it could work out well for us.

Top grades? But wait! Isn't this the Worst Draft Ever?

Great article. Thanks 40!

Kind of funny that this is from the writer that wrote the pre-draft article claiming that all of the big six prospects were hoping to not get selected by the Raiders.

[RighteousRayda]

he's more generous in his grade of us than I would be

[oaklandheat]

I think its bull that the only reason we are being given such high grades is because of McFadden. I dont really like the draft besides McFadden and Branch, and one player doesnt make your whole draft.

Branch isnt too bad, but we could have used Red Bryant in that spot.

It really is to bad so many don't know squat about what they run their mouth's on. Both of the so called great 4th round picks would've been on the board in the 6th or 7th round. Likely even been available in F/A. Whether you like the players or whatever,the value of the pick was again wasted by davis who has a compulsion/addiction problem. He is so spun he feels the need to over pay and grab prematurely because everyone else may get them first. He's sick. Demented. And the teams biggest concerns went unaddressed because of it. So lets not do anything to protect our 60 million dollar franchise QB. Or help at all in our run defense that has been pathetic for the past 4 years. You people need to wake up and smell the real world. This was a complete draft failure.

So now you want to call people out? grow up!

Good read 40. It'sI interesting that we can get an A- with only 1 pick in the 1st 3 rounds. I still think that DT was a bigger need, but McFadden wwas going to be the pick regardless. I'm excited to see him score some TDs, and improve on the 1.6 TDs/game average from the last two years. Not happy that he gave both Branch and Shields negatives....

McFadden / Bush IMO will become one of the best young RB tandems in the league.

The nation should be excited at the possibility.
