Let it be known...

At this point it really does not matter whether we like it or not Darran MacFadden is now a Raider at which point I will support him and his career.

It's like they say in college you recruited him now your stuck with what you recruited.

We live here bro. We know how crazy it is..Little Rock is pretty bad but nowhere near Oakland or Richmond.

What a dumb thread... i see you have over 11 thousand posts and probably have alot of respect on this board but come on what is really the point of this thread? Arguing whats more cut throat of a place Little Rock or Oakland??? Terrall Sands and Tommy Kelly(which have experiences in the nfl) should have more pressure on themselves than Darren Mcfadden....they both have big contracts and Kelly was anticipated to be one of the best so no EXCUSES. Darren Mcfadden(rookie) is proven... killed in the SCC. People need to stop acting like defense was our only need. We need help on both sides of the ball and the way Al Davis spent his money over the off season should of gave us all A BIG CLUE what we were gonig to do with the 4th pick. Just Stop it with this nonsense and act positive ....we all here on this board just want one thing... thats just to win!....dmc will help out a whole lot

Haha, I didn't think of that. But yea, even the great DMAC split time in the backfield so I see a Fargas/McFadden backfield. Not a bad 1-2 punch.

huff and gallery are great examples of drafting for need and how did those work out?

dorsey will have 12 sacks this year and dmac will have 15 TD's, i think everyone wins in this one. plus dmac didnt get stopped by dorsey in college and he wont in the NFL.

The same majority that will be on thier feet screaming as McFadden flys down the sidelines for six.

Welcome aboard Ran

Jeez dude get some cleanex, Dmac is the future of this franchise, and he helps the biggest glaring hole in our offense next season and thats a rookie QB under center. He could wind up being rookie of the year, and Dorsey could suck for years in KC, it's nothing guaranteed out of the draft, some of you act as if Dorsey was freakin Sapp or something..get real

dmac = 400 yard in 2 games against LSU

So Dorsey is a bust but McFadden is the future of the Franchise and rookie of the year? Who needs to get real? He has not played one down in the NFL nor has Dorsey. I am not a big Dorsey supporter. Our biggest need is to stop the run. Week in and week out we give up 150+ yards to any RB that happens to face us. We shall see what happens.

lol..yeah this thread pretty much sux

[MT/Cali Raider]

Bro, the pick was either gonna be DMAC or Dorsey. Both great players but DMAC will change the complection of the game from day one not to mention the attention that he will take off JR. Dorsey would have been a great pick but he wouldn't be able to help JR who has to do well if this team is to do well. Surrounding JR w/ potent offensive weapons is the key to JR's success as well as the raiders.

[Raider_Len]

I'm more concerned that we don't have any other picks in the first three rounds, and haven't managed any trades yet to get any.
