You think a third round rookie is a reliable deep threat? A guy that's never played one down in the league. But a guy like Brown with experience or a guy like Foster who showed he can get open deep are unreliable? Please.

Foster and Brown. Two of the fastest WRs in the league. What the hell are you talking about?

The WR class was apparently not highly thought of by GMs this year given where they were drafted. And folks around here need to calm down and realize Beane has a much better handle on these guys that any of us. They are focused on protecting Allen first and foremost. Then you have two guys in Foster and Brown with speed, underneath guys in Beasley and Jones, some TEs and RBs that can catch. But people yell about a #1 WR; as overused a term as franchise QB or lockdownCB.

Thought they'd go WR but the kid was productive in college

You kidding? Great deep threat. He can fly.

I think if I'm any O lineman from last year I'm not signing any long term rental agreements.

Solid pick. What did we give up to move up two spots?

Elect an entire Executive and Legislative branch that are avowed Independents. Then open up investigations into any and all suspected collusions involving Trump, Clinton, Obama, Cheney, whomoever. If after that nothing is found then drop it, and if people are found to have conducted illegal activities throw their butt in jail regardless of political affiliation. It's the only way folks in the deep state and anti-deep state worlds will ever be satisfied. And even then nut cases of the fringes of either extreme won't be, but they can at least be set off to the side and recognized as nut cases.

You try to get stars in round 1. This kid could be one. Good job, and thanks to the Raiders for continuing their tradition of screwing things up.

If they draft a ham sandwich that goes on to an All Pro career, I would be fine with that.

I like the idea of drafting the punter.

Ahem. First Pat McGroder was instrumental working with Ralph to bring professional football to Buffalo, and keeping the team in Buffalo. He merits the Wall. Second, if memory serves correct the frivolous accident caused injury to a young woman. And that was in addition to the other off the field issues he had. Third, he was not shipped out, he and his agent requested a trade after Spiller was drafted. Other than that your analysis is spot on.

Actually it does mean we have a higher level of knowledge. Two other things. One, to say Lynch had greater impact than Cookie is just silly. Second, you claimed you would not put Henry on the Wall because of off the field stuff but you'd put Lynch up there? That kind of hypocrisy is, well, silly yet again.

A question for you. Were you around in the 60's to watch Cookie, Brown and the others? If not perhaps you should not comment on Cookie. He was as some have said just below Brown. He was a combination of speed and power. I would compare him to Jimmy Taylor. He belongs on the Wall. He was a great player who helped us win a championship. A head case to be sure but a dominating player. Lynch? Not a chance. Your throwing numbers out there saying they're comparable ignores all the rule changes over the years. And Lynch was one step away from a year suspension.

If I had to guess: Murray - Raiders (by trade or by falling to 4) Rosen - Cardinals Lock - Bengals Haskins - Broncos Jones - Skins

I do not see any circumstance where Beane gives up a first round pick in 2020.

Beane is forcing competition everywhere on the offensive side of the ball except for Allen and Morse.

I don't know what your problem is.

He broke his fibula. The fibula is the small bone in the leg that has absolutely no weight bearing function. It is a very easy injury to heal from, so Milano should be just fine. Not that I'm against a LB; if they could get that Allen kid I'd run to the podium.

Ok guys, I'm am not a cardiologist, but as an anatomist and physiologist I teach the basic science stuff to those who become cardiologists. So I'd like to think I bring a little credibility to this discussion. First, I cannot find any information anywhere about the exact nature of his pre-existing heart condition, whether it is electrical in nature, or some kind of cardiomyopathy, valve, or whatever. All I have read is that at the combine is was deemed low risk and thus he was cleared to work out. Second, cardiologists are pretty smart people, so I am sure any team in the NFL interested in the kid would have a team of smart cardiologists that are more than capable of assessing him. Third, comparisons, to someone like Lawson, where the decisions was not whether he had a problem but what was the best way to treat it, and not comparable. So it's pretty simple: have your docs assess the kid, get their data, then make the call. To say you would take him off your board completely without adequate information is just silly.

1. Have Allen continue his development 2. Have Daboll with our new O line coach put in a scheme that fits the new guys up front, thus allowing our running game to be resurrected and thus give our young QB time to throw 3. Draft Oliver at 9, or Williams if through some miracle he is there at 9. And with this expect our young MLB to continue to progress. You want to beat Brady to need pressure up the middle; a young DT that can do that along with Edmunds blitzing should help there.

In no specific order: Rauch Ringo Bullough Stephenson Ramsey Williams Ryan Jauron

Lines.

Braxton at FB before Gash or Mueller Shaw is on the list

Way too many guys listed at positions they didn't play. Omissions: Harry Jacobs at MLB, Tony Greene at FS. Jerry Butler at WR. When I wake up I'll list some more.
