Yes, because the Raiders, with their vertical, down-the-field passing attack, will want Jimmy "Noodle-Arm" Clausen.

Newsflash, the Raiders already have someone BETTER than Clausen on their team. His name is Kyle Boller.

Also, they drafted Pryor with a 3rd round pick - they don't need another inexperienced young QB.

Kyle Boller?? Proven mulitple times he can't win.

The Raiders aren't exactly aiting it out- check the stats. Just proposing a solution to try to get something for Clausen to help build the team.

The guy's not even active. The Raiders are desperate. Just throwing out an option for getting something for a guy that has zero future here.

What you propose the Panthers do?

Just because the stats aren't there doesn't mean their offensive philosophy isn't a vertical passing attack (it is). Also, Clausen and Boller are pretty much the same player, save Boller actually has an NFL-caliber arm, so yes, he is better. The Raiders may be "desperate," but they sure as hell aren't desperate enough for Jimmy Clausen.

It doesn't matter what I propose the Panthers do, because the simple fact is we're not going to do anything. And save trying to get a stop-gap DT (which we can get in FA - Jamal Williams, Pat Williams), there really isn't much that we realistically CAN do. For better or worse, we're going to roll with who we've got right now.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
