I'm not a fan of the Arenas pick. Why was it great? What did you see that I haven't? Because I admittedly don't know a lot about the guy.

You're absolutely right. But just because they didn't pick my #1 or #2 choice doesn't mean the pick is a bad pick... CLEARLY...the #1 receiver on the Chiefs board was Dexter McCluster...and after I did my research and listened to some people who I respect talk about the guy and realized what kind of role the Chiefs were going to use him in...I realized how clever and how good of a pick it really was...he has the ability to be a Wes Welker receiver...only with game breaking athleticism. Who is a better fit for this team at WR... Demaryius Thomas or Dexter McCluster? In my eyes, McCluster...and I think he's going to produce RIGHT away...and be a major, major, major sleeper and eventual pro bowl caliber player. |

they seem to do that every year -- since 1999
they're good -- they don't miss a beat -- they know just the right time to get rid of vets -- 1-2 yrs before * and replace them with a skilled player in the draft.

This all stems from the fact that Hootie, Zach, and all of these n00bs feel persecuted throughout the season when the team gets its ass kicked. Thus, they can use threads like this as vengeance, since they can't yet see the players on the field and can then project their "hope" as being fact.

same thing kind of happened with Flowers...he fell because he was short and didn't run well... If Arenas posts a better 40 time, he goes way, way higher... I think height for cornerbacks is vastly overrated and if you're running a sub 4.6 40 that's fast enough...all that is is track speed...there is a difference between track speed and football speed and all of the highlights I watched of Arenas his speed and quickness jumps out at me...especially on those returns... guys like Dante Hall were great returners because of acceleration, agility, and the ability to make cuts without losing speed...not because they run 4.2 40s |

Although I wasn't a huge fan of the McClain pick, the Raiders have had a phenomenal Thursday-Saturday.
The Raiders have a legit chance to win 10 games next year.

Your master plan would have been to take a guy at 5 that 32 teams passed over at least once...some of them twice...at least 8 of those teams needing QB help. How many Claussen threads did we have to go through this offseason? Yet when the actual draft comes around its clownshoes for the whole group, probably because all those teams knew something we don't. Which is my main point in this whole process. Why deal with such dramatic absolutes. |

Cameron Sheffield
Read & React: A disciplined defender who understands his containment responsibilities and has enough quickness, lateral agility and strength to stretch the runner wide. Good burst upfield as a pass rusher, but quickly recognizes the screen and draw, showing the ability to re-direct inside. Grabs hold of the back on the screen and kills the play. Improved his recognition of passing lanes and the impact he can have by getting his hands up as a senior, recording a career-high six PBUs. Run defense: Lacks the bulk to remain at defensive end full-time in the NFL, but is stronger than his size might suggest. Plays with good pad level and has the strength in his upper and lower to stack and shed the block. Surprising lateral agility to elude blockers in space. Breaks down well and has a burst to change directions and better straight-line speed than he’s given credit for. Good hustle downfield. Pass defense: Was rarely asked to drop back into coverage while at Troy, but proved surprisingly nimble and alert as an outside linebacker at the Senior Bowl. High in his backpedal, but was smoother than expected turning and showed good straight-line speed to trail the tight end down the sideline. Raw, but has some legitimate upside here. Tackling: Shows the body control to handle the transition to linebacker. Breaks down well in space for a career defensive end, showing the patience and quick feet to tackle elusive ballcarriers on the edge. Good size and strength to take down bigger ballcarriers. Prefers to wrap up securely and will do so when he can, but will use his long arms to trip up the ballcarrier when forced to make the diving attempt. Pass Rush/Blitz: Not surprisingly, one of his better areas. Though he doesn’t possess a truly explosive burst out of his three-point stance, he does have the quick step to force the tackle back on his heels and the agility to re-direct inside. Good strength for the bull-rush. Has shown a great deal of improvement throughout his career in terms of getting his hands up in the passing lanes — posting one PBU in 2007, three in 2008 and six in 2009 … Intangibles: Shy and reserved. A very humble and team-oriented player that the coaches rave about. Will have to have his wrist checked out at the Combine after breaking it during a pick-up basketball game prior to the 2008 season. |
