If I'm STL, I'm taking Suh. Build that defense. Get some O-lineman and complimentary offensive players with other picks and then explore QB options.
No need for QB with so many question marks on a team without much stability. It can work, but you have to play it close to perfect.
I've been asking myself for weeks how Bradford all of a sudden is the sure #1? All of a sudden, he has this great arm (never mentioned before) and is considered the best QB on the lot. Dude barely played football last year and it's like the league is forgetting that as well. I'm really, really not sold ...Originally Posted by DoubleJs07
I dunno man...Shuler was 10x the athlete Bradford is (in college), but Bradford is the better QB....
that being said, to me, there are a TON of questions about Bradford. I don't think he's a homerun by any stretch of the imagination....can he take a hit? did he look better due to the offense he was playing in? Durability...etc etc...
Jimmy Clausen IMO is the safest-bet out of the QB's slated to go in round 1.
Because way too much emphasis is put on workouts. It should be all about how someone performs on the field....The GAME field. Throwing against air, a bench press, and a straight line sprint doesn't mean much of anything to me.Originally Posted by illfrozn

I would be shocked if they stay pat @ #4 and draft a lineman. I've talked to plenty of people that say the same thing, it just doesn't fit the Shanahan mold.
However, with it being a pressing need I guess it has a 5-10% chance of happening, I do not know too much about what the ******** need, I only really follow the Raiders closely, but I do know from a scouting/drafting perspective that Shanahan is pretty much completely against drafting a OL that early in the draft
its hard to go with that also, thats why you need a range of things to judge on..... players couldve played in schemes that made them better, against worst talent, surrounded by talent, etc.....Originally Posted by 651akathePaul

understandable.
but the basis for finding out what players can do is thru drills. its the basics of football. when a coach wants to see who is capable of what, they do it thru drills, its not the be all end all, but it is the foundation for what you see on the field

We already have the first AFC East draft-day trade rumor.
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, stationed in Philadelphia, reports the Eagles are talking to the Miami Dolphins about trading into their 12th slot.
Paolantonio adds the Eagles want to move up to grab a defensive player and speculates that prospect might be Texas safety Earl Thomas.
Meanwhile, I just arrived in the Buffalo Bills' media center, where I will be reporting throughout the draft. The Bills currently own the AFC East's top draft choice at No. 9.

No one knows where Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be drafted. But the people around Tebow are dropping some strong hints that some team has already told them that Tebow is their man.
Tebow's father, Bob Tebow, claims his son is going in the first 15 picks. And Tebow's agent, Jimmy Sexton, told ESPN.com that he has a very good idea where Tebow will be drafted, and hints that it's higher than most people think.
"I don't know if it's gonna shock the world because I always thought he was going to do well," Sexton said. "But we pretty much know. We have a pretty good idea what's going to happen."
Of course, it's impossible for any player to know for sure where he's going to go until he hears his name called at Radio City Music Hall. Not even Sam Bradford knows for sure where he's going to go.
But the Tebow camp says they have a good idea. And they sound like they're pleased with where they think they're going.

the hell you talkin about?
Shanahan drafted Ryan Clady with the 12th pick in the first round in 2008.
If you followed the Raiders that closely, you would have seen Clady twice a year, for the past two years.
