But grown men?

Grown RAIDER FANS?

Sh*t my wife still does, but that's different.

Geez....

Oh naw D-Mac. Lets not get these post twisted. I ain't pouting or throwing a tantrum. Hell if I got my way the Raiders would have a winning record every year. So lets just clear the sky right now. Now pouts or tantrums over this way boss.

Think about something for a minute. Ryan pushed for us to resign Kelly cause he was so versatile right? Well let Dorsey take UT then you got sands, kelly, Dorsey and Burgess on the line. they'd create havoc forcing teams to pass.. pass to who Aso or Hall? think about that for a second.. teams cant run on us so they're forced to pass.. pass on THIS secondary? you want to talk about big plays how about the INTs and 3 and outs cause teams are too scared to throw so take sacks?

Nah i'm all for McFadden he's a Raider, but Dorsey could have really made this Defense historic when you think about how it would all fit together and play into our strengths.

To all you people who say..."draft the BPA". Well another Al Davis "BPA" Fabian Washington (1st round) just got traded out of Oakland. So add that to the list of Al Davis bums that didn't work out it Oakland.

And not to mention the 4th round BPA which was another CB. LMAO.

Fact is we have a franchise quarterback that needed weapons on offense. And we spent a lot of money this off season addressing the D. I understood the pick.

C'mon Poke. Al is still a mess when it comes to drafting, but it just so happened that the arguably best player available in the draft when our pick came around also happened to be the exact type of player Al covets.

The Fabian Washington pick was just Al doing what he does, which is not thinking. I don't even want to discuss the CB pick in the 4th round.

Now show us a list of all the other teams whose picks turned out to be bums. I know, you don't have that kind of time, either do I, I'm just saying in terms of prospective. At least give the Raiders credit for cutting bait earlier than they would have years ago, in this type of situation.

I made jokes we'd be picking a CB but i never thought AL would be this ****ing stupid.

so we drafted CB with our 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks.. great.. this has got to be the dumbest thing ever in the history of football.

I respect your opinion poke but Dorsey wasn't even on our radar after we gave Kelly that huge contract

[sharkraider]

Tuesday morning QB syndrom. Everyone's an expert...
I agree with the DMAC concerns, to a point. But he's one hell of a talent that's gonna help JRUSS grow as a top tier QB. It does suck to see Dorsey end up with the Chiefs (who had a kick-@ss draft thus far, IMO) but DMAC was the right choice..I believe we'll all see that soon.

[POKE]

Look I hear yall. I get it. All Im saying is if Tommy Kelly, Sands, Wilson, and all these defense signings so far don't do nothing to help the problem, which is...stopping the run. Then its all just a bunch of wasted money. And if Darren McFadden turns out to be Ricky Williams or Cedric Benson. Then what?

Like I said, Im rooting for him because he is a Oakland Raider. But before I proclaim this dude to be anything I need to see it in the regular season. No excuses. You guys say he is a playmaker, then he needs to make plays period. No excuses....

[Gen_Man]

the fourth pick we got is a guy that will help our special team. I think it is a great pick based on what I have read about the kid. How many straight years has our special teams sucked? People sometimes undervalue the importance of not having enough players on special team. This draft is about getting much needed speed on the team and getting guys who can contribute on special teams as well.

[trur8r]

Poke the Raiders decided a couple of months ago that Tommy Kelly and Terdell Sands were going to be the DT's to stop the run. WE might not agree with their decisions on that but it is what it is. You don't give a guy the highest DT deal ever and then draft another DT who will make as much or more then him. I want to see Kelly and Sands step the fuk up, those 2 fukers NEED to play their asses off. NO EXCUSES ANYMORE. That's the reason the Raiders passed up on Dorsey.

Now McFadden was not the guy I wanted but he's the pick and I'm going to root for the guy to become a great RB. I also expect instant results, you don't draft a RB and sit him down like you do with a QB.

[POKE]

I can dig that.
