Weird to watch the draft and see the picks talked about so highly.

TE is nice, but what about guard, CB?

should have take Preston Smith. Edwards a bit of a reach pick.

Edwards speed, size, and athleticism is just ridiculous. He and Mack could work. He just needs help.

Oakland Raiders
Draft pick: WR Amari Cooper (No. 4 overall), DL Mario Edwards Jr. (No. 35 overall), TE Clive Walford (No. 68 overall)
Day 1 grade: A+
Day 2 grade: A
Overall grade: A
The skinny: Jack Del Rio could have built his defense around Leonard Williams and Khalil Mack, but grabbing the safest player in the draft was a nice way to start things out. Cooper can play inside and outside and gives QB Derek Carr a much needed safety net who will catch everything thrown his way. After nailing their pick with Mack last year, these were not the Raiders we're used to seeing on the first night of the draft. Throw in a top-tier defensive lineman like Edwards, who can play everywhere, plus an athletic tight end like Walford, and GM Reggie McKenzie is stocking the roster with young talent.

Best grade in division, tied with three other teams for best overall grade in conference.

My wish picks for tomorrow.

4th - Jarvis Harrison G

5th- La'el Collins OT

6th - David Irving DE/DT or Josh Harper WR

7th - Nick Marshall CB or Shaquille Riddick DE

Johnny_Cakes · May 2, 2015

Collins said he won't sign with any team this year if he wasn't picked on Friday.

albooboo · May 2, 2015

then give David Cobb RB or TJ Clemmings OT in the 5th

Aye yall see how violently this boy Mario Edwards plays? :x

albooboo · May 2, 2015

If he can keep his weight around 280. He is going to be a stud for us. We got his college DL coach on our staff. He worked out at EXOS training facility to get ready for the draft. The guy who is now our strength and conditioning coach worked at EXOS.

HNL HI · May 2, 2015

The uncertainty around La'el makes him undraftable. Son could be facing a bid.

Nick Marshall wack too, check his twitter.

That's exactly why I'm hyped about the pick. We're committed to our team being in great shape and we've got a mentor waiting for him on the staff. He's got every tool he needs to succeed and he dropped serious weight on his own during the off-season to show how serious he is. Great pick.
