Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

My Draft Brain Is Bursting Due To Options:

It is quite possible that Bruce Campbell will slip to the 2nd Round...IF he does fall into the Oakland Raider laps at #38, then Dan Williams makes a TON of sense at #8...Then again, if we could grab Bulaga AND Campbell in the first two rounds, is that NOT the best option?

Will Terell Troup make it to the top of the third AND will Pat Angerer still be there late in the third?

Should we take Bulaga, Cam Thomas, Syd' Quan and Angerer?

After 5 years of mocking the NFL Draft and looking, in depth, at the choices...This year is BY FAR the most confusing...And also the the one with the most potential...I mean has anyone thought about running Gerhart as a FB? Then wouldn't Bulaga/Williams/Williams, Gerhart, Troup and Angerer be a victory? With three picks left?

With Langston Walker recently re-signed and Khalif Barnes already in the fold, we only need to add on O-Lineman in the first two rounds, but what if Campbell was still sitting there at #38, after Bulaga was already on board? What would you do?

Man, my brain is wracked!!!! And wrecked!!!

I'll see those of you who are going to the A's game tomorrow, I'll be playing drums for SHEETS!!! To the rest of you...Cheers!!!

Gerhart
[…] I mean has anyone thought about running Gerhart as a FB?

Since he’s slated to go within the first three rounds, I hope we don’t even consider it.

Spend the early picks on an offensive lineman, a defensive tackle, a middle linebacker and a cornerback.

But that would make too much sense...

Al Davis will probably draft Tim Tebow with the #8 pick and with the #38 pick draft LeGarrette Blount !

LOL!

I cut the same piece!

I like any of these picks! too bad we might not even see one. My head hurts too.

I totally loved Gerhardt as a bruiser, picker up of the blitz at FB, and a solid pass catcher too. In my first expression of taking him someone said something about not needing another RB, and I was totally thinking the FB angle at the time only.

I’m sort of over trying to predict what will happen, and have gotten to the point where I’m looking for positives in even the players I don’t like, in case we go ahead and grab ’em again… sigh

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts…

I want Mclain in the 1st

The best OL left in the 2nd, best OL with our next pick as well than a CB in the later rounds.

Taylor Mays

is the Al Davis pick. Either him or Haden, I wish we would go OL, or even DT with the first pick, but I don’t see logic overtaking Al’s mind.

I’m cool with Haden, but I think our OL is a bigger issue. We need to find protection for the QB. Although we could wait till the second round for a OL, so that’d leave DT or LB to draft with our first rounder. I’d rather trade down and gather as many picks as we can, but I’m not betting on it. Would be nice, though.

Thank god.....

We no longer need to worry about McNabb, It makes me feel a little bit easier about the draft. But do we still trust Al ?

Nope

Campbell will be a Raider, or Mays

I stopped trusting Al in the 90's

by CoachConnors on Apr 7, 2010 9:57 AM PDT up reply actions  

Im still thinking

Al could grab Michael Vick for a 3rd or a 4th round pick. This would still allow the Raiders to Fix there Oline Problem with there Lower Picks. Who Knows the Eagles might even trade him for a draft pick in 2011.

by greenage on Apr 5, 2010 1:05 AM PDT reply actions  

Vick’s a free agent next year, so I’d wait if we’re dying to have him.

by Walker Wallace on Apr 5, 2010 7:35 AM PDT up reply actions  

If both Bulaga and Campbell are a possibility, then take both just in case one doesn’t work out. If both turn out to be good, then play them both because they’re improvements over the current reality we face of a Henderson/Barnes tackle duo. Plenty of great defensive players later on so I wouldn’t be too worried

I still feel that even if he doesn’t that it’s an improvement over Barnes (had a Kwame Harris type season his last one in Jacksonville)

not quite as bad as kwame dude.

harris in his 11 starts in 08 gave up 7.5 sacks and was going for the false start record with 11 of em in his 11 starts and 13 apperances before henderson got his shot.
barnes his final year in jac. gave up 7.5 and had 3 false starts in 16 games started, and that was a division that has some really good pass rushers barnes is a much greater improvement over harris and green, we hope…

Tell me about it!

This is draft is almost foolproof! So many future stars. So many ideas! Ahhhhhh!

Right now, I want Iupati in the 1st. My second option would be Buluga, then Haden. All 3 are great and possibly then next best at there respected positions. Iupati is my natural choice because he is big, mean and has a badass last name.

If Bruce Cambell is there in the 2nd, and we drafted Iupati, then take him.
If he’s there and we drafted Buluga, STAY AWAY! But if hes there and we drafted Haden, then take him!

One last thing, Keep Gerhart at HB. He’s gonna dominate no matter where he goes. He’s a rare back and makes me wish that we didn’t have 2 HB’s with such potential.

Too bad we have the #1 fool in Al

We should trade our #8 for two more 2nd rd. picks, then Draft – Roger Saffold OT/OG, Lival Joseph DT/NT and Vladamire Ducasse OT/OG all solid picks. then get Angerer MLB in the 3rd, Myron Lewis CB in the 4th, Eric Olsen C in the 5th and John Conner or Manase Tonga FBs in the late rounds.

not bad, my only complaint is the lack of highlights from the 06 Steelers game. That was probably the greatest game of my young football fan life. Mainly cause my Raiders beat my dad’s Steelers playing the worst offense in the NFL
