Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

With Two Picks Left, Who's Your Choice?

With ONLY 5 picks, it looks like we are going after the best athletes available and passing on linemen.

There are so many names that I've been considering for months that are still available.

There are Adarius Bowman, Erin Henderson, Athyba Rubin and Frank Okam who have all moved down because of team's needs, injuries or character issues.

There is also Steven Justice who many think can be a starting Center in this League, or what about Owen Schmidt or Jerome Felton for special teams?

Then there is my favorite tweener, Wesley Woodyard as well as the fallen from grace, Ali Highsmith.

What about Barry Richardson from Clemson? I like the guys intelligence.

Who's left that you still like?

Frank Okam

I think he will be a cheap run-stuffer that we need. I hope no one grabs him.

We have Sands Warren and Joseph:

But at this point, I’d be happy with him. The dude is HUGE!!!!

Well

Houston took him anyways.

Yeah

I hear Highsmith is good. We still need a DE and LT.

The Autumn Wind Is A Raider, and his name is KA1Z3R. >:)>

That's not to say

he couldn’t play left tackle. It’s a bit of a difference but who knows, maybe he can. Come on, where’s the Jordan/Rhodes trade?!

P.S.

Does anyone know if Bowman’s gone? I hope not.

Saint, Why is Chris McDuffie still around. I thought he was a beast

in the few games I seen. Is he being classified as an OT, or a DT???

He has a 435lb bench press, so he is stronglikeox

OT: Barry Richardson Just Went:

I expect him to be drafted, but not by us. He is too slow to pull.

I hope we get him

I’d want him at OT but I’m not so sure of his agility for a ZB system. He’d be very good though for any team. I consider him a steal at this point.

We just got

Trevor Scott. Great Pick

He is a converted TE:

He registered 10 sacks in his FIRST season on the D-Line!!!

I am LOVING this pick!!!

Whooo

DE finally! Yes! Hopefully, he can contribute as soon as he gets in.

Looked into Trevor Scott

seems like a sound pick. Third in Buffalo’s history with 19 sacks. But then again it’s Buffalo. He was 16th. in the NCAA in sacks last year with ten. Looks like a good pick right now. Had 28.5 tackles for loss so he should be able to play the run well enough.

I think that Scott will be a Special Teamer:

He is a versatile “Football Player”.

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Apr 27, 2008 12:29 PM PDT reply actions  

That makes sense

but I’d prefer he start. We need a starting DE who can play the run, I don’t know if that’s him but we REALLY NEED ONE!

Jake Scott COULD Be A Complete Player:

I just don’t know anything about him…Just what I read.

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Apr 27, 2008 12:35 PM PDT reply actions  

Buffalo right

is there any notable players in their division that scott has been against?

It's the MAC

so that’s a no. But who knows, Howie Long came form Villanova and look how he turned out.

Read up on

Arman Shields. Looks very good based on combine stats. I like that pick. Now where’s the LT and the LB?

Sam Williams and Kwame Harris:

I also think that this will be an unprecedented UFA class and we may be signing a couple of linemen after the draft

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Apr 27, 2008 12:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

very true

there’s still a lot of talent left out there. A lot of it will be available after the draft. I’m so giddy!
