It never seems to fail the raiders are hapless!!! I cannot believe they wasted their #7 pick on Darrius Heyward Bey. WOW what do yall think about this apparent boneheaded move?

I think exactly like you, what a bonehead Al Davis is.

Cant wait to see our Corners beat him on every pass

And our choice was not any better. Our corners do not have 4.3 speed either.

Maybe Al Davis is drafting to make the Raiders competitive on Madden 2010.

For the first time ESPN is right about something.

I agree that the pick was a reach but there second pick was more of a stretch in my mind. I can't even remember his name and Mayock had him in the seventh, not that Mayock's a genius either. Heywerd Bey gives them a guy who stretches the field at least.

I'm hoping I'm correct in assuming both the Broncs and the Chargers had worse day 1 picks.

What a wacky day, IMO.

Who cares. They don't have a qb to get the ball to him anyway...
Davis is an idiot.

I had to go see why the Faders chose this guy, so I went to the Raiders website. I know, now I feel all dirty and ashamed, even a shower did not help. But, hey, I took one for the team so you did not have to.

Anyway, their new Coach, Coach Cable (Larry the Cableguy comes to mind) says they chose this receiver because of all the guys that were taken in the first round, this is the only guy that played in a pro-style offense. He said they went out for this guy in particular and were happy to get him.

I am not sure how playing in a pro-style offense would help a wide receiver, I can see that for backfield players (QB, RB) maybe even offensive lineman, but to me a WR receiver lines up outside anyway.

Well, they had a reason in their minds.
