Remember Mario Williams?

Remember how much heat Houston got for taking him over "put him in the Hall of Fame already" Reggie Bush? Well, look how that's turned out.

I know Davis is known for making these huge reach picks, and I'm just as upset as anyone else. But let's give Heyward-Bey and Mitchell a chance, they may develop into fabulous players, much like Mario Williams has. They seem like nice guys, and nice football players.

M.Williams wasn't a reach...

At least he was the #1 rated DE in that years draft and they picked him because he was more signable for less money than R.Bush. DHB was ranked 5th for WR and Mitchell was ranked 20th for safeties. I’d rather have good football players instead of nice but I guess let’s hope for the best.

Ok..

Yeah i agree with you on DHB i think he might be alright and i’m hoping he will be better than i eveyone thinks But i’ll admit it. I thought grabbing Mitchell was crazy. Mainly because i had no idea who he was and neither did anyone else for that matter. But i just watched some film on him and all i got to say is, i’m sold. That fucker can hit from what i saw on the film. i’m a little more calm now that i’ve been watching the tapes on these guys. It cheered me up a little bit.lol

everyone on their highlight tape can hit dude…if you didnt have good hits on you highlight tape as a safety you wouldnt be drafted..unless you ran a 4.3 forty then we would draft you

Mike Mitchell -- Can play PERIOD !!

One key fact men. 3 MAC players were drafted in the top 44 picks. This was not a mistake !!

MTICHELL???

It looks like a big mistake!!!! Tell me, why would you pass on players at safety such as Rasheed Johnson of Alabama 2) Darcel McBath of Texas Tech 3) Louis Demas of Western Michigan!!! This whole Raider draft is upside down…… Unreal!!!!!
