Rams taking C. Long, that was who the Raiders had to take for us to get McFadden. So long, Darren, we never knew ye.
oh man you are so pessimistic I think Al Davis may have like some brain issue and draft a corner making raiders fans cry
This can join the farewell Reggie Bush threads from 2 years ago. I still don't miss him much. Not at all actually.
Farewell Dmac, lets now hope Gholston falls to us and owns Jake Long 2x a year like he did in college
There was definitely a chance Crazy Al would take Chris Long, now McFadden has fallen into his lap. Even with Fargas, Jordan, and Rhodes...Davis will take McFadden
I don't think Long to the Raider was ever a possibilty, Dorsey to the Raiders is quite a different story though. If Dorsey makes it to 4, McFadden to the Jets is a very real possibilty.
I always thought the Raiders pick was either McFadden or Gholston and we'd get whoever is left. I still feel the same way.
I think Atlanta will take Dorsey and Mel Kiper has the Raiders taking Gholston. I don't think KC will take DMC but who really knows. I don't think KC goes QB either because they have the ammo to move up and take Brohm, Flacco or Henne at the end of the 1st round should they choose to. With as many picks as they have DMC could be their guy because they still can get an OL at 17 and a QB in early rd 2, LJ is clearly not the LJ of 2 years ago either. I think the Jets will be stuck with drafting Matt Ryan or trading the pick which seems unlikey unless the Saints really want Sedrick Ellis. The Ravens have no need to move up as they know the Fags won't be drafting Ryan. Ryan being there with Gholston and DMC gone is the worst case scenario for me. Maybe the Jets see things differently but I will be extremely unhappy if Matt Ryan is the pick at 6 for the Jets.
anybody hear phil simms the other day. He said he broadcasted alot of os games and didnt remember golston. He said that he didnt think he was special
Is the draft starting much later than usual because teams get less time to pick now? It used to start at 12... 3 is pretty late.
i dont see mcfadden falling to us anymore....michael smith from espn has been sayin all morning that the raiders will not pass on mcfadden even if the falcons take matt ryan miami - jake long rams - chris long falcons - matt ryan raiders - mcfadden chiefs - brandon albert JETS - gholston???? hopefully not gholston....we need a spark for our offense...we gotta push for mcfadden!
