"Darren McFadden could be the next Bo Jackson, OK?

That sums up everything I know about Al Davis' draft philosophy, translated to this Saturday when the Raiders will use the No. 4 overall pick to . . .

Take McFadden, of course!"

Seems like he knows that the Raiders are going with McFadden. What do you think Nation?

Dexter Jackson

is going to be the next Jerry Rice. Just because its written by someone doesn't mean its true. It all boils down to opinions and beliefs even though 80% of people who write don't follow college football. The problem with Mcfadden are 3 fold for the Raiders.

1 To expensive of a contract to sign with a team already with cap issues.

2 A logjam at HB being a new HB Bush a breakout player Fargas and an old Vet Jordan/Rhodes.

3 Needs at other positions that are available when we draft.

Mcfadden as a runner only has two flaws that I have seen. He is FAST yes but if you watch runs I have seen linemen catch up to him on a 40 yard plus run. He is a natural firework great burst but not the speed to sustain. And how long his legs are my first thought is injury and he always runs outside never north south if you watch. I think he will good but not as GREAT as people project him.

Precisely

All those points are good but point 1 should be getting taken care of shortly (or at least it better be)

To emphasize on point 3

the positions that are available are positions that we need

D-line is our main weakness

if

we get d-line down I think we could have 2002 team back... (meaning the level of playing and the respect) maybe even better!

getting your hopes up

I don't think we'll be the 02 team. In fact, I don't think we'll get into the playoffs. I see us at 7-9. I'm sorry but you guys are getting your hopes just a little too high.
