The Raiders

[ateamstupid]

The funny thing is you could take what 2 Dollar Bill said about DHB and picture him (or other Raider fans) saying the same thing immediately after every WR signing by the Raiders since Tim Brown. How have Moss, Porter, Walker, et al, worked out? Why will DHB be any different in that vacuum of incompetence?

Good point about the Wildcat formation.

I think they took him that early cause they were afraid Bellichick would take him and use him better than they would.

The Bears were planning on taking Mitchell at 49.

The Mid-American Conference has first-, second- and third-team all-conference teams. Ohio University safety Michael Mitchell did not make any of the three last fall. The Raiders used the 15th pick of the second round on Mitchell.- Peter King

That's BS. They almost certainly were playing a "let's see how dumb these guys are" trick on the Raiders after they saw the DHB pick. Bravo.

The real question is what year does Mel Kiper think it is with that mop on his head?
