Why reach?

they were complete idiots for not taking Crabtree.... Like the craziest thing I've ever seen. They will be a complete failure of a team unless somehow they stop being so dumb.


Edit: You know whats so funny about picking Darrius Heyward-Bey in before Crabtree and Maclin (shoot.. Nicks is better than Bey)... is that they guy last year only earned an ALL ACC HONERABLE MENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the ACC SUCKED last year!!! and had about 600 recieving yards.


Now I believe that Russell has a shot to be a good NFL QB... but come ON now.. Freaking Darrius Heyward-Bey, the fourth best reciever in the draft, at best..... with the 7th pick over MICHEAL CRABTREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The raiders deserve to lose.

Maclin... Was Never asked to catch the ball in the middle of the field. Lets see the Eagles run a west coast offense... good match ?

Crabtree coming of a injury and hasnt run for anyone since the end of the season.
You cant judge a draft for at least two years. So we will see. You can teach anyone to catch, how to catch, run after the catch, but you can't teach speed.... ie the Vertical game

I didnt say the Raiders should have picked up Maclin... though that would have been a much better pick than what they got.. Maclin is just as fast (runs a 4.31 and wants to get down to 4.29). and Maclin has MUCH better hands and put up MUCH better numbers. Also he has Devon Hester return qualities.

And I dont know where you got that over the middle thing.. EVERY draft expert said Maclin is courageous and not afraid to go over the middle..


The Raiders were stupid for not picking Crabtree.. not Maclin.

And Maclin was an amazing pick for the 19th pick. him and jackson compliment each other so much. great draft by the birds.
