ok, seriously, and last post form me untill tommorow night most likely...

for super serious this is what would be a successful day 1 out of the denver camp.

12.) DL Raji from Boston

18.) Best outside DL or inside DL on the board at the time (and it WONT be that kid from TENN.)

number 12 pick in second round.) Best 3 to 4 down LB on the board at that time... and that COULD be Laurenitis, OR the best FS/SS on their board... no Offense in day 1 and NO CB's in day one.

Day two continue building up that front 7 and safteys depending on whats left untill you get to round 5 or 6. then pick up a few decent prospect WR's with height and speed.

NEXT YEAR: pick a big name QB, and a good CENTER/Guard so the QB and the O-lineman can build a trusting relationship, then continue with skill players and front 7...

CB's are for picking up in free agency not top 4 rounds of draft picks IMO...(there are some exceptions, but most times you can get good 3 to 4 year seasoned guys for a little extra money that produce better than a rookie will)

FreeBird · Apr 27, 2009

OMG!!!!!

FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK!!!!!!

how can you publicly claim "We need NEW DL and LB to fit the 3-4 D that i will be running" then grab 1...1!!!!!! in the draft.

I got no issues with Knowshon, but you had BETTER get rid of atleast 4 of the remaining 9 RB's you have waiting in reserve...

And 2 Safteys??? you just acquire Dawkins, NEED front 7 talent and you draft BACKUP Saftey talent, onw with BARELY 4.9 40 yard speed, in the 2nd and third round???

Hell you could have gotten atleast 2 more future all pro LB's for that asshole!!!

YOUR A FUCKING HACK JOSH, and the ONLY thing that MAY save you is that Oakland had by far the DUMBEST draft out of everyone...

B00STED4V · Apr 27, 2009

you seem.... upset

FreeBird · Apr 27, 2009

actually... not really. i was plesently supprised, and hopw that Knowshon DOESN'T save the team this year, or next and BOWLEN realizes he hired a lacky and nothing more...

i just REALY wanted a BADASS Bronco jersey, and instead i'm stuck for second best with Either a Bears Cutler Jersey, or a Bears "Gilbert" jersey depending on what number the D-lineman chooses...

seriously if they would have just swapped 1..1 of their 2 safteys or the CB for rey rey or the Spartain King this would have been a successful draft in my eyes... i just see the deffense not getting any better, but instead worse next year, and THATS what got Mike fired...

B00STED4V · Apr 27, 2009

Oakland just needs to shut it's doors and give up allready, fire their intire front office and burn Al Davis at the stake.... then try again.

I'm getting a Knowshon Broncos jersey and a Bucs jersey, which one i'm still undecided on.

I hear Madden's not doing anything nowadays. Horrible draft for the Raiders.

FreeBird · Apr 27, 2009

yeah sorry Cali... i would be uber touchy for a few weeks if i was a Raiders fan LOL :F

B00STED4V · Apr 27, 2009

i don't see how they still have fans, i can understand not having a winning season and such, but just how that organization is run would be enough for me to not want to be a fan.

I refused to be a Bucs fan for the longest time for basically the same reason

Cali Korleone · Apr 27, 2009

Yeah fuck the Raiders head office and coaching staff.

LOL at Michael Crabtree's pops. I heard he let out a big sigh of relief when the Raiders skipped his son.

And holy shit to the Eagles. They are stacked now. Excellent draft for them. I wouldn't be surprised to see them take the NFC this year at all.

B00STED4V · Apr 27, 2009

no offense but i would've done the same thig if i were his dad.... either that or try to pull some Eli Manning trade from the chargers to the giants move.

I think the Eagles will be pretty sick this year too, but im not to sure about them winning the whole NFC... I can see them winning the NFC East though

Cali Korleone · Apr 27, 2009

Deperately waiting for another NFL franchise to start up in Los Angeles so I can jump off the Raiders fail-wagon. That or Al Davis steps down or dies. Whatever comes first.

B00STED4V · Apr 27, 2009

Here is an old article ('06) about a possible expansion team in LA and about the amount of money it would cost, etc.

Why not become a 49rs fan? They were supposed to be moving out of San Fran and into Southern Cali anyway... I'm not sure if they still plan on doing that.

DENVER -- So everyone wants to know: What NFL team or teams eventually will play in the Los Angeles area"

Folks, barring a bail-out move to an interim site, there won't be a Los Angeles-based team before 2010. That's a long time and this process of finding a site is going to be more painful and complicated than most realize. How painful?

Only those who form the 11-man committee trying to resolve this matter reluctantly realize expansion can't be ruled out even though expanding the league beyond 32 teams will be as painful as a root canal. Under no circumstance does the NFL want to expand.

During the NFL owners spring meeting, several owners and teams polled about expansion had a simple response. The answer was "no." There is no sentiment to expand. Owners scratch their heads when asked if they can even think of a fellow owner who embraces the idea of expansion to accommodate the Los Angeles market.

However, the only owners realizing it could be a painful alternative are those on the Los Angeles working committee. They realize expansion might be a last resort if the only way to make the numbers work for the Los Angeles Coliseum or Anaheim is putting two teams in a complex similar to having the Jets and Giants in Giants Stadium.

It's going to cost $800 million just to renovate the Coliseum. Adding in the cost of getting a team and funding it eliminates most of the top businessmen in the country. That's why the group will spend next month talking to business leaders in both cities trying to see if it can work financially. The NFL knows California's ability to use public money is, to say the least, limited.

However, the NFL can be creative. If private interests can kick in significant money for a stadium project, that would help to make it work. The league certainly has the ability to assure the Los Angeles stadium future Super Bowls, maybe as often as every three or four years. That's a huge financial carrot.

But no one on the committee can assure anyone that the numbers can work. It's going to take the collective strength and hard work of every owner on that committee to find solutions, and that's why it probably will happen. The Los Angeles Coliseum has the lead because it is in Los Angeles and the community and politicians are working together better than ever.

The Coliseum Commission has its act together. The mayor is working to get something done. When calls for help are made, answers come back quickly. In the end, there are enough of the power owners working on this Los Angeles project that something will get done and Los Angeles will get a team -- or teams.
But what teams?

Expansion is clearly the last resort. The current 32-team model works both competitively and financially. If a 33rd team was added, a 34th franchise eventually would be formed and that's a major problem.
"I think 33 teams is awkward," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said. "It's taken a long time to get to 32 teams with eight four-team divisions. I think 32 teams is the right number."

Colts general manager Bill Polian, a member of the competition committee, worries about the quality of the product by adding more teams. He realizes it's not as simple as finding 53 players for an expansion team. Teams need eight-man practice squads. Teams build up injury lists. Most teams go under the assumption that they have to have 64 players to get through a season.

"There are not enough football players now," Polian said. "To take 64 players out of the current pool would make it even tougher. Look at the New York Giants in the playoffs last year. They had to sign two linebackers off the street and start them in the playoffs."

In many ways, it's taken the NFL a couple of years to readjust to the expansion Houston Texans, who opened play in 2002. After four years, rosters have filled out enough with draft choices and backups that teams feel as though there is adequate depth on most teams. Where the strain is most felt now is the availability to replace players in case of injury.

Fewer than 100 unrestricted free agents from this year's list of 351 remain available. About half of the players cut have new homes. The Packers lost offensive lineman Kevin Barry for the season Tuesday because of a torn quad. It's May, but the reality of the current market is that it's going to be hard for the Packers to find equal value for Barry on the free agent market, and Barry isn't even a starter.

Rosters are stretched thin enough that there aren't adequate replacements. The Seahawks learned that in the Super Bowl. Once safety Marquand Manuel was hurt in the first half of the Super Bowl, the Seahawks were cooked on defense. They had to use Etric Pruitt, who effectively was a practice squad player. Their defense suffered.
"Expansion does not make sense for the NFL at this juncture," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "We don't improve anything by expanding. We water it down."

Jones is not only speaking about the product but he's also speaking about the economic model of a team. The new collective bargaining agreement extension in March was more costly than any owner anticipated. Adding another partner to share the revenue through expansion is even more of a problem now than it was a year ago.

"As an owner, all you would get from an expansion team is what you would have gotten in TV money when they pay you a lot of money," Jones said. "All you get is what you would have already gotten had you not sold it."

With no expansion, the list of possible moving options to Los Angeles includes the Chargers, the Saints, the Bills and the Jaguars. The Chargers would like to work out something in San Diego county, and they still have time to do it. Saints fans purchased more than 55,000 season tickets, and that type of commitment from the fans keeps the idea of staying in New Orleans alive in the short term. Bills owner Ralph Wilson has conveyed long-term concerns about football in Western New York although he will never move the team. Wayne Weaver is trying to make things work in Jacksonville in what is considered a tight market.

The lost generation of pro football fans in the Los Angeles area should be hopeful of getting an NFL team in the next four years. The focus now is deciding on a stadium site, getting it together and letting the NFL's subcommittee sweat the hard details of the how and why.
