Why Do The Raiders Get To Go On The Clock?

Jason, you are killing us with new posts. How about having one thread for the first round and you can add in-line comments?

1st

Who is worse Deion or Meshawn?

Meshawn is the worst, by far. At least Deion can be midly amusing from time to time. I just want to smack Meshawn -- right in the back of his damn head.

Whoever has the number one overall pick should have 5 minutes to make their pick once they are on the clock

No, I like all the posts. The Raiders should pick immediately. I can't help but watch the draft, but it's already too long!

cdubb, if you take away Jones' 77 yd run, his average is something like 3.4. Yeah, if he gets a 100 yds, he gets 200. But he needs blocking, he won't attack anybody, and he'll fall over in a light breeze.

Barber3 has a nose for the end zone, but I'm not convinced. On Cowboys blogs he is known as THam2 (that's a Troy Hambrick reference, for the uninitiated).

Here we go!!!

I am hopeful that we do not screw today up. Hopeful, not confident...

noon apparently means 12:10 pm in NFL-speak...

I'm so excited, can't believe I'm not getting it on ESPN here, instead I've got Live Italian Serie A.

Wow... Half the Raider reps look like they're young enough to still live in a frat house. Amazing...

Anyone think it won't be JaMarcus?

kose, AC Milan v Torino?

James Joyce, errrrrrrrr, Ocho-Ocho is in the (yawn) house!

Good morning JLaC! Hope you and your family are well. How is Baby Rocco doing?

Hi Cyn Cyty! Glad you survived New York. Did you buy Maske a pulse while you were there?

Okay, bring on the Draft!

With the first overall pick, I would like to announce a trade. The Oakland raiders trade with the Washington Redskins and acquire Calvin Johnson. (Vinny's last revenge) He gave up the next two years of our first rounders.

SMACK - Yep, that's the game.

kost,

Since they haven't dumped Randy Moss yet, I would be surprised if they didn't take JR.

Best part of the draft so far?

NO CHRIS BERMAN!!!

Geez, I hate that guy.

We have exhausted the options for the Skins at #6. what does everybody think about the positions and prospects fo tomorrow's picks?

Frank,

Those 1st round picks wouldn't be enough. They just said on the NFL Network that Al Davis asked the Browns for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd this year and their 1st next year to move up to #1.

Ocho, I like Chris....He must be on a cigarette break. He's there.

Moss refused their request to restructure to facilitate a trade. LOL He still has 2 years/$20mill left on his deal, w/ $11mill guaranteed. Yikes.

My most recent 'couch-ridden belly-jiggling chuckle moment' of the draft broadcast on ESPN so far: The information ticker listing Adam Archuleta as a key loss for the Skins.

Come on, Raiders - get on with it already!

jaws is looking snappy with the lime green tie! and yes, i'm already critiquing wardrobes because nothing noteworthy is happening yet...

Just Me...Totally kidding. I would hate it if we moved up to the first pick. There is a lot of risk going that high.

JustMe - That's crazy! It's seems that they are looking to draft Russell unless they can rob somebody for an crazy deal.

The Raiders are such a sorry no account team that I'm surpised Goodell didn't give them 30 minutes

Survey Answers:

NFL Draft in other cities? Yes. Send it to NFL cities which aren't part of the Super Bowl rotation, as some suggested.

Super Bowl outside of the U.S.? No!

Jamarcus to OAK. 5 to go...

First pick done. No Surprises there. Now I reckon the Lions trade with the Bucs, and the Bucs take C.Johnson

Big Surprise!!!! I guess we will see how it goes on this pick. Lets see if Milan can blow this one.

Berman may be there but I'm not.

NFL Network is the place to be. ESPN is so last century.

What is up with that suit? Couldn't his agent invest in a stylist?

I'm with you, Ocho. Strictly NFL Network for me.

What is up with that unsigned post?

I like JaMarcus' wardrobe choice, altho I think a two-button jacket would have been better.

Maybe Detroit will draft a kicker with the #2 pick. At least it wouldn't be another receiver.

I am surprised that Peterson is not projected higher. I think he could be a HOF running back.

what happened to steve young's face? look at his eyebrows...

Looks like 5 wr's sets for Detroit

Calvin Johnson is going to be a great player, but you have to have somebody to throw the ball to him...

someone needs to tell Calvin Johnson you should only wear one lapel pin. i'm also not digging the tie that seems to be made from the same material as his suit...

I think unsigned meant Millen, not AC Milan.

that was snyder calling CJ...ergo the smile

If they take him, it must be to trade him. They already have R.Williams and M.Furrey. But then again, it is Millen. I think he's the only person in the NFL that us redskins can justly scorn!

WTF is TK doing there?

Did anyone else notice that the clock stopped???? Ooooohhhhh go browns.

MNF dealer is the reaosn for TK

Kost, are you still awake? Good on you, as you say.

Only another hour - have some more coffee or beer or whatever works in Oz.

craziness.

I hope he can throw the ball to himself

ok good cj is gone hopefully that means no stupid trades up by snyder now

There were more Lions fans at the draft party than show up to their games

looks like i was wrong about his tie. still don't like it though.

This is the toughest one to pick I think, and it could make or break us. Quinn, Thomas, or Peterson.

Hey Smack!

How many entries did you get for your #22 Pick Contest?

Is it a bad sign that CJ about dropped his jersey twice?

CJ can play power forward in the NBA? Well what is he doing around 5:30 today

I don't mean any harm, but I'm seeing a lot of folks who could use this contract money to get some dental work (JaMarcus Russell's mama, Calvin Johnson....).

It has to be Quinn going to Cleveland at #3. Only 15 minutes until we know.

Ocho-Ocho -

I've had so much coffee, that when it comes time to go to sleep, I won't be able to!

nah Just Me, that's for the straw...

I laughed aloud when I saw DETROIT take a WR with their 1st pick. Awesome!

lol espn ticker just said our key loss this offseason was arch deluxe

I hope Desmond Howard isn't an available free agent.

why is Brady Quinn sitting next to Christina Aguilera's stunt double?

I think I would have taken Calvin also.

I hate Brady Quinn and am real glad we are not in the market for a QB. Dan Snyder would be trading up right now.

I think I got five, Griffin, Meacham (2), Bowe, Ross. But we'll probably do something stupid and unexpected.

hahahaha @ matt millen

new post

SMACK - I said Chris Houston

Looks like the Lions aren't gonna trade CJ. Fate is conspiring to ensure that the Redskins do something responsible with their pick. I'm feeling okay so far.

dante - not unless they still trade up to draft CJ, before realizing he has already been picked.

Adam Schefter just reported that Detroit IS NOT going to trade Calvin Johnson. They are keeping him. Most likely they will trade Mike Williams to TN (or another of their WRs)>

justme, you're not being mean. but it has nothing to do with having money. it's commitment issue. so far in his life him having dental work done[read wearing braces for a year or so] hasn't outweighed comfort.

but when his agent tells him "hey, wear braces for a year or so and you'll be making $10 million in ad revenue". and i'm pretty sure he'll do it then especially if he's good as everyone thinks he will be.

Not trying to be mean, but is that Brady Quinn's girlfriend? If so, he can do much better, and probably will once he signs his contract.

Smack,

At #22 if they do something stupid, not many people will notice. Besides, Cowboys have lots of needs anyway, yes?

Smart!! The safest pick in the draft

BEEP BEEP
