I can't see the Raiders passing on McFadden.Not the way Al Davis likes these flashy players.Also, Fargas is an UFA so we may or may not re-sign him.Jordan is as good as gone.That still leaves Rhodes & Bush.
But if we did pass on him, the selection you had going to us would still make sense.
RD.2:
Why not Dre Moore instead of Kentwan Balmer?Was it b/c he was ranked higher?

Chris Long might be just as good as McFadden from a value standpoint...they could go either way.
Also, Al Davis did draft Howie Long. There is a big history in the NFL Draft of teams drafting other players based on the familiarity with the genetics, just off the top of my head:
*49ers drafting Andre Carter because of his father Rubin Carter
*Cowboys drafting Bobby Carter based on his father Rob Carter (who was coached by Parcells)
*Peyton deserved to go #1 (which was helped with familiarity with Archie), but lets call a spade a spade here. Eli was #1 because of his DNA (to Peyton)
*Cam Cameron was familiar with Ted Ginn Sr. (as the HC of a high school football team in Ohio) and so he drafted his son Ted Ginn Jr. in a shocking draft pick.
Not genetics, but the Knicks drafted Michael Sweetney (C, Georgetown) in the hopes that he would be the next Patrick Ewing. Not the NFL or anything I know but I'm just making the point of familiairity.Last edited by Matt McGuire; 01-03-2008, 11:30 AM.2014-2015 Kentucky Wildcats (38-1)

That's what I came to realize... Chris Long is pretty flashy in himself, being the son of Howie.

Yeah but scar who is going to trade up that high and for what player? I just don't see it happening.
And don't you guys have Boley and I heard Atlanta is high on Stephen Nicolas. Why do you need an OLB (even though I think your defense needs more speed up front).2014-2015 Kentucky Wildcats (38-1)
