Is there any way in hell that Al Davis would pass on Crabtree?
As a Bronco fan, I love it.....Is there any way in hell that Al Davis would pass on Crabtree?
As a Bronco fan, I love it.....I think they want a rush backer and probably figured someone like English or Maybin at #17 would be as good (or close to it) as Orakpo and at a much lesser price.Yup, I hate Clev but this was a good deal for them.They probably got 2 defensive starters, a back-up for when they trade either Quinn or Anderson, and an extra pick.They also got a starting DE for a team that needs a DE.Really? To move down TWELVE spots in the first round and to only pick up a 2nd rounder this year? Not great by any means.great deal by the Browns I must say
"You're gonna love my nuts!"I think the Jets also threw in 40 pounds of italian sausage and 6 Sham-wows.![]()
Heard he was flying up the chart but WOW
If Darrius Heyward-Bay goes #7 to Oakland…

Remember who had the first mock in the country with this pick.
His speed/size combo is an aphrodisiac to Al Davis, but that doesn’t mean he’s just a combine warrior. We talked with a knowledgeable Maryland fan in the Draft line last night, and he couldn’t have been more sold on Heyward-Bay and his prospects for success in the NFL. He felt DH-B was “misused” at Maryland, and that his game was more complete than they gave him a chance to show.
Unfortunately, you have to wonder if the Raiders would be much better.
YES! holy ####
Oh. My. God.

I agree. I think it was an awful trade for the Jets, and I love it. Even if you grade the 3 players that they gave up as 6th round quality, they gave up a 1st, 2nd and 3 6th round picks for a QB that has started 16 games at the collegiate level.I also think Elam and Ratliffe are better than 6th round quality (dont know about Coleman), and Mangini knows exactly what he is getting - at least as well as they guys giving them up. Probably more the equivalent of a 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Thats a lot of peeps for one guy.Good luck to the Jets with this.
It's understandable. They mentioned DHB's name, and they saw him drool so they thought that was the pick. Could happen to anyone.Jesus. Al Davis has to die before the Raiders will ever be good again. What an awful pick.

It's more than the teams in front of them trying to trade got.I think it's a terrible deal for the Browns. Trading from 5 to 17 and only getting a 2nd, a middle of the road QB prospect and a couple of journeymen doesn't seem like nearly enough to me.
If Oakland wanted speed so much, why didn't they take Maclin?DHB over Crabtree....r f'ing kidding me.:X
