Yes, that is a ridiculous comment. Most of what you say is ridiculous. And you seem to be the one forgetting Wilson was a 7th round pick, why you hold him on some pedestal is beyond me. He has shown nothing to suggest he can play at an NFL level. Are you Wilson?

Why was he a 7th round pick?

He is on a pedestal because i actually watch college football and follow the Pac 12. Wilson was already projected as a 3rd round pick before he quit on the team with a chance to move higher with a strong finish to the season and combine. You cant quit on your team and call the head coach a racist and think you gonna get drafted early. Quitting on your team is one of the worst things you can do as a athlete.

Lets see where Cooper lands....You can scratch him off OAK list now.

Because of Crabtree? I would hope the Raiders aren't that dumb....but they are.

Well I actually watch the Bears, and saw him play plenty last year. He was not good.

Alvin Dupree - DL - Wildcats
Kentucky LB Bud Dupree is shooting up draft boards, reports NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock.
"The tape is inconsistent, but as coaches get involved, they want to work with this piece of clay," Mayock said. "He's got everything you want in a Pro Bowl edge rusher except consistency." Dupree could go as high as No. 8 to Atlanta, but he's more than likely looking at a call at some point during the middle portion of the initial stanza.

Danny Shelton - DL - Huskies
Washington DT Danny Shelton is a perfect fit for the Bears at No. 7, says NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah.
"At No. 7, when you talk about a great fit, Danny Shelton was made to play the nose tackle in that defense," Jeremiah said. "He would be a perfect, perfect fit." Jeremiah might like the fit, but many of his NFL.com colleagues with mock drafts do not have Shelton landing with the Bears. "The Bears could very well be open for business at No. 7 with a wide receiver," Charles Davis said. "That wouldn't surprise us at all in order to pair somebody with Alshon Jeffrey, something they had with Brandon Marshall, and would allow them to get Jay Cutler back on the beam."

Another ridiculous assertion on your part. You just can't help yourself. The only way OAK doesn't draft a WR @4 is if Leonard Williams falls in their lap.

Crabtree is a solid possession receiver and that's on a good when he's not busy dropping balls or busy being injured.

I think it might give an indication as to WHICH receiver they might pick.

Amari Cooper seems like a better compliment to Crabtree.

 

[TheDane]

So because the Raiders signed a WR that's not that good anymore due to injuries, they're all of a sudden out of the running for talents like Cooper and White in the 1st round? Come on, man. A signing of a mediocre player should NEVER result in big talents like Cooper or White tumbling down a team's draft board. That's like saying that Leonard Williams isn't a possibility for the Raiders, if they signed C.J. Mosley right now (an example of a mediocre DT on the market).

Raiders have bigger holes to fill then the receiver spot. You just paid Jones last year and brought in Crabtree this year. They have some young receivers that Carr built some chemistry with already. The WR class this year is very very deep.

So does is still sound very ridiculous to you or should i just base everything on mock drafts or articles i read from a scout.

Some advice from a veteran. These mock drafts miss on damn near all there picks every year and every team big board arent identical to McShay or Kipers.

 

[playthrough2001]

Williams said he would love to play for the Raiders. If the QBs go 1-2 and Fowler ends up being a fit for Jax, I think Williams falls no farther than 4. The Redskins are a wild card for me. The GM they hired knows how to spot talent. It will be interesting to see their draft class.

"Jameis Winston scheduled to meet with Bears on Wednesday

Florida State v Miami Getty Images

The Bears have the seventh pick in the draft, which is expected to be far too low for them to have any shot of drafting Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston.

Drafts can take unexpected turns, however, and the Bears are making sure that they’ve done their homework on Winston. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Winston is scheduled to meet with the Bears on Wednesday. The Bears have also met with Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota during the pre-draft process, so it’s not too surprising to learn that they also want a chance to sit down with Winston before April 30 rolls around.

Those meetings are necessary prerequisites in the event the Bears want to jump up the draft board, although it’s unclear if jumping up to one of the first two picks is a realistic consideration for the team at this point. Neither coach John Fox nor General Manager Ryan Pace has any ties to Jay Cutler and the team’s believed to be open to trading him, so interest in a quarterback would make sense."

@AdamSchefter: Jameis Winston scheduled to meet Bears in Chicago on Wednesday, per league source. Means Bears will have met w/ Winston and Marcus Mariota.

If he stays clean I still think he ends up the best pass rushing 3-4 OLB in the draft.

 

[didshereallysaythat]

Looks like the Bears are bringing in EVERYONE for a visit.

Pace's first draft. He should bring in everyone, most of these guys will be available so no need to skip out on anyone.

Even though the Skins has invested in 3-4 DE's this offseason (Paea, Jean-Francois), I still view them as Williams' "floor" when it comes to deciding how far he could fall. I highly doubt he'll fall farther than that.

"Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL · 1h 1 hour ago

If Pace is confident in Gregory off the field I could see him being the pick at 7. He is the prototypical edge rusher in Fangio's system.

McShay is on ESPN 1000 right away.

Anyone listening let us know what he says.

Pretty much thats why they signed Crabtree. You WR fan boys just swear White and Cooper are valued as a top 5 pick in a very deep WR draft that doesnt have a huge drop off between #1 and #4. OAK needs a RB more then they need a WR so why not mock Gordon @4....They can use another edge rusher more then a WR also. Gordon aint going #4 but i was just using him as a example.

James Jones and Crabtree are still very young and are more helpful to a young QB then a rookie WR who will take a few years to develop. Raiders already have a few young receivers that are showing promise.
