McClain to Oakland is actually a very good pick, yes he may be a bit high, but I'm perfectly happy taking the new coming of Ray Lewis instead of an overrated lineman for once. Some reports that the Raiders may go to a 3-4, whereas I think it's more likely that Kirk Morrison is dealt to a team who were looking for a MLB. (Step up Giants & Cardinals)

Could still get Bruce Campbell in the 2nd round now I think, maybe Charles Brown or Roger Saffold as well.

A first round pick on a kick returner, did Al Davis make the Patriots pick? Not impressed at all

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Fri Apr 23, 2010 1:46 pm  

I think we must have traded Davis to Jacksonville when we got Quentin Groves.

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Fri Apr 23, 2010 1:54 pm  

Russell Okung and Earl Thomas, I`m ecstatic with that. Now if only we had'nt made that horrible trade with the Chargers for Whitehurst we would be really set.

Just read a quote from BB he said McCourty is a versatile 4 down player, so is he saying he can play Safety as well? and a few reports are saying he has the potential to be a shut down corner with the way he plays and goes a way to explaining the fact he only got 5 picks in College.

EDIT:

Just watched some highlights, the kid looks quality in coverage, blitzing and on special teams (few blocked kicks, a few return TD's and a forced fumble on a punt return

I have no doubts that he is a good player but I would rather have had a top quality WR like Bryant for when Moss leaves after next season, I must admit I thought we would have got him since we failed to even try and get Boldin/ Marshall.

T. Holt is a good addition for backup but surely him and Patten are not going to be our only new WR`s to come into the team this year? Patten is well past it and I just dont think he will be up to the job especially when Welker could well miss a bit of the season

Staying on the subject of Dez Bryant what does this mean for Roy Williams, hes still earning a boat load so surely Dallas will want rid? especially with Miles Austin coming through

I think one of the 2 first rounders next year will go on Julio Jones (WR) now, big build and fast so physically a #1 WR, but he will be thrown straight into the deep end unless Holt & Moss get 1 year extensions

Missed last year, Patriots brought him back a month or so back

Unfortunately

I know he did a job back in the day but that day was a long time ago
