Was anybody other than me shocked that the Raiders picked him up? I thought they was going to get someone who ran a 4.3 something...
Thoughts?

Yeah, I totally expected them to make a pick like the Jags did. Man I hope they move out of the state...

Yeah, and the first thought I had was I bet they get rid of Morrison now. And, low and behold, I read this earlier today:

EDIT: I'd love it if we get him. Think he'd be an instant upgrade on Crowder.dolfan7171 likes this. -

Yes, I was thoroughly surprised by the pick. Living in Alabama, and watching the draft at a bar, everyone let out a groan. Very distraught over the pick. Then when Tebow was drafted by the Broncos I thought, well at least McClain will still get to hit Tebow twice a year. It was 2 seconds later I realized the folly of my thought. Tebow will never see the field.

The only thing shocking about it is that it was a good solid pick. Maybe a bit to high a selection but still very solid player.dolfan7171 likes this. -

I only hope that McClain doesn't waste the first five years of his career in Oakland before he can move on to a decent team. Oakland has some talent now and could do something. But it's Oakland. I feel bad for Rolando because he is a difference maker and a leader. He will have a succesful NFL career but only if he makes it out of the black hole.

I was baffled by Al Davis' sudden connection to reality..... he must have fell asleep at his desk and let the custodian make that pick.
