Alaska Darin Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I thought only Tom Donahoe wasted really high draft picks on right tackles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Good thing we didn't trade Travis Henry for Gallery and a 1st rounder like everyone here wanted. We would hvae had two losers at RT and another pick for TD to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would hvae had two losers at RT and another pick for TD to waste. Well, Gallery was labelled a "can't-miss" by virtually everyone. Proving that the draft is a highly inexact science.

Simon Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 You mean the dancng bear who spent the night hanging on to blue jerseys? Yes, I believe his name was Gallery. Good thing we didn't trade Travis Henry for Gallery and a 1st rounder like everyone here wanted. We would hvae had two losers at RT and another pick for TD to waste. What the hell are you on about now? I'd say it's an even better thing that we didn't cut him like you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proving that the draft is a highly inexact science. 434570[/snapback] But not by "everyone"... http://www.thefootballgenius.com/04draftgrades/oak.html "Rd 1 (2) Robert Gallery OT Iowa TFG is skeptical that Gallery is as good as Boselli and Ogden as is the guru consensus. TFG believes Gallery is a step below that - more in the Kyle Turley class. Hence, while OLT is an extremely important position for a team that will probably need a new QB very soon, this was a reach. Gallery is not that good. He is not a great athlete and is somewhat stiff. The better NFL RDEs will get by him. Despite his wonderful Combine stats, Gallery is really not a dominating run blocker either." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven in MD Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The difference is that Gallery will be moving to LT after Sims is gone. The Raiders admit that right now Sims is a better LT than Gallery, so he is playing RT. I still would take Gallery over Big Mike right now.

My prediction of a 4th was a whole lot closer to reality. In addition, the Browns are real happy with Shelton, in case you haven't heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 He does have Raider hair. Kinda like a Z. Crockett. Remember it doesn't matter how good you are, just how crazy you are. Really odd now that I think about it b/c wouldn't Travis have fit that bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipers Hair Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hey - Isn't that Mike Gandy at Left Tackle? A cast off from a sub-500 team? I'll take Gallery at left tackle for us in a minute....(though the hair has to go...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Was that the Raiders going 5 - 11 last year? 434823[/snapback] yah, because starting a high 1st round right tackle automatically dooms your team to win no more than 5 games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Based on what? The grass is always greener theory? 434812[/snapback] Upside potential. Gallery had a great rookie campaign, and 1 bad game in the 2nd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaDairis Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Upside potential. Gallery had a great rookie campaign, and 1 bad game in the 2nd season. 434841[/snapback] That is one of the worst takes of all time. Certain idiots in the media who claimed Gallery was a Boselli clone before the Draft tried to spin that Gallery played well. He did not. He sukked in preseason and was beaten out by Sims at OLT. At ORT, he gave up double digit sacks for the year. He did play better last night, although he almost always had TE help in pass protection - ie the coaching staff knows he sukks... And who did Gallery "beat out" last year at ORT. That would be Langston Walker, now the OLG, and the big stiff the Pats most abused last night... Being 6'7"+ and 320+ proves only that one is large, not necessarily good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
