i wasn't crazy about keyshawn. didn't like carr either.

i tried being optimistic about both, though.

currently really no one (though the barnidge pick kind of bothered me for a little bit but i feel good about it now).

who did u hate when we brougt them in? I feel like a dumbass but i hated the beason pick in the draft .... i didnt know who the hell he was. anyone else wanna come clean?

Honestly, Peppers because the of question of work ethic. Not to mention I don't like the 'Heels. I really wanted Quinton Jammer at the time.

Another was Ryan Kalil. I can't remember who the player was, but I REALLY wanted someone at that spot in the draft. I had no particular beef with Kalil himself though slightly undersized.

I didn't mind the Beason pick, but was sort of shocked that we picked another LB. It immediately hit me though, Morgan was on his way out.

Ditto on Keyshawn. I had hope for Carr, but that immediately went down the tubes when I saw him in a live game. Amazing how people can look good in practice when facing no live bullets.

didn't like key because he was a self centered punk and didn't like what he could bring to the lockerroom and didn't like carr because i thought he was shell shocked and overrated (which is why he got canned in houston).

what's the problem with that?

Only at the Huddle

I agree, only you could poo on an honest answer. Key was the first person I thought of, didn't like him before he got here and he didn't do anything to change that. But I'm sure you will be posting your unbiased opinion soon.

I thought Brayton was a total scrub when we got him. I didn't necessarily hate the move though. We needed help there and we got him for cheap. It's one of those moves that if it works, great. If not, oh well you didn't really lose anything.

He has exceeded my expectations to say the least. Just shows that anyone can look bad playing for the Raiders. Even Randy Moss looked mediocre playing there.

brayton was one of those guys i could go either way on. wasn't crazy about his lack of production but then i loved the nut cracker on jerramy stevens. i talked to a couple knowledgeable raiders fans who knew a lot about him and felt better about it. they said that he was misused quite a bit there.

i was sold, though, after that smitty/lucas fight. i stayed behind after training camp that day and eavesdropped on the team meeting where he was the first one to speak after fox spoke about how important it was to let it go and not hold any grudges towards either one because he saw first hand what that type of hostility inside the team could do to it.

Last year, I just about killed myself when they picked Stewart. I felt that they should have taken Branden Albert, but when they traded up for Jeff Otah, I was really excited. about a day after I really though about the Stewart pick and looked at some film on him, I realized that our backfield could be one of the best in the league.

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.
