I would have made the trade, a real steal for the Raiders.

Sounds like they had to wait until Al passed away to make the deal. Al didn't like his 40 time said he was to slow.

I agree, can we simply just acquire or draft a 3-4 LB. I know we have had pretty damn good success converting DEs into OLBs, but that isn't going to be the case with everybody we bring in. If we see a solid MLB from a 3-4 Skin come available, I say we draft him or snatch him up. Fletch is the man, this era's Ken Harvey, but he is only going to be playing for a couple more seasons realistically, at least in good form. That being said. Any of you guys know of any solid college LBs coming out in '12 from a 3-4 D?

Funny you bring him up, my sister just phoned me yesterday and told me she went to lunch with him and his wife after going to his church a couple weeks ago. Apparently, she said there couldnt be a nicer man. Wish I could have gotten his autograph.......but I'll give her a pass on this one.

Mante Teo from ND but he will likely be a first round pick and I doubt we are spending a 1st rounder on ILB

Curry would have been a 4-3 SLB turning into a 3-4 OLB. You don't know if he's got that pass rushing ability many a converted DE has. We are rather "full" at the positions anyway.

diehard · 10-14-2011, 05:26 PM

Curry needs to see a brain doctor/neurologist. Maybe somethimg is really wrong.

SirClintonPortis · 10-14-2011, 06:42 PM

He might become decent. Jarvis Moss seems to have woken up upon entering the Black Hole.

CultBrennan59 · 10-15-2011, 08:59 PM

Good for the Raiders. All those years of being busts and drafting awful players and taking other teams busts; they're starting to work out for the Raiders. I don't see how you can't like this team. Except maybe that they have our ex-QB starting for them.

Hue Jackson,3rd down back, reserve guard and a few players that played at Maryland. I like the Raiders.

Aaron Curry sucks bad in pass coverage, but I can't imagine he'll cover TEs any worse than Quentin Groves or Rolando McClain does. And the Raiders run D gets better overnight as a result of this trade.

I don't know if he's worth two draft picks at this point, but really, the 7th rounder is more like a giveaway.
