BigHairedAristocrat 03-18-2010, 02:38 PM Clausen AND Bradford. I think we should avoid them both at #4. agreed. i think either of them would be lucky to as "good" as Campbell is now. freddyg12 03-18-2010, 02:40 PM Is anyone concerned we're looking at Tony Mandarich 2.0 in Russell Okung? always a possibility but it would be tough to match Mandarich's bust level. He had to be juiced up to a dangerous degree. The last o line pick that might be called a bust was Robert Gallery, but he at least earned a starting spot at guard for the raiders, till he was injured. O line prospects rarely are total busts (benched, out of the league, etc.), but some of course aren't as good as their billing. It's one of the safest top 10 picks IMO, if not the safest. BigHairedAristocrat 03-18-2010, 02:42 PM is anyone concerned we'll do what smoot wants and draft Cadillac Williams 2.0 in CJ Spiller? ;) FRPLG 03-18-2010, 02:46 PM Is anyone concerned we're looking at Tony Mandarich 2.0 in Russell Okung? More like I am concerned we're looking at the next Gallery. Not a bad player but not a value at 4.

Fair enough and good points. Though I'm sure the Raiders didn't expect to spend such a high pick on a guard. Still, I'm not sure why so many people want to keep ripping on Bradford and Clausen (Ryan Leaf 2.0 really? based on what exactly) just because they want an OT. Or why so few people acknowledge that are issues with linemen as well. Oh well, it is what it is...SPILLER!!!! diehardskin2982 03-18-2010, 02:48 PM will barry simms sign here? GTripp0012 03-18-2010, 02:50 PM Is anyone concerned we're looking at Tony Mandarich 2.0 in Russell Okung?Nope. I don't think there's a Manderich, a Leaf, or a Charles Rogers in this draft that we have to avoid at all costs. It's a historically great class with hardly any pitfall players (there are no Aaron Maybin's in this class). I just think there's some obvious valuation errors by the consensus. But for the most part, particularly outside of the quarterback position, I think it's what you see is what you get. BleedBurgundy 03-18-2010, 02:51 PM Fair enough and good points.
