TheOakland Raiders rookies had their first chance to show what they can do at the recently concluded mandatory minicamp. The early buzz had been almost universally positive about the Raiders draft. their early picks did not disappoint during minicamp.
Insert photo caption or credit here
Rolando McClain:
McClain was selected to be a vocal leader, and he has been seen making adjustments on the defensive alignments during the drills. He also has an aggressive streak.
Lamarr Houston:
So far, Houston has looked to be not only a strong leader, he has also shown a mean streak that has been missing from the Raiders defense for quite some time. In one sequence he had a mock sack and on the next play was blocked out of his helmet and jersey and just kept going. He also got in an altercation with offensive tackle Langston Walker. He went right at the biggest man on the offense as if to say, "I'm here don't mess with me."
Jared Veldheer:
Veldheer is big. It is hard to get a clear idea because it was a noncontact camp, but it looks like he has a way to go.
Bruce Campbell:
Campbell looks like he is chiseled out of granite. He is adjusting on making the move inside from tackle to guard. Can't tell too much with it being a noncontact camp.
Jacoby Ford:
Ford had better hands than Darrius Heyward-Bey's rookie minicamp. He showed his speed clearly. He finished camp with a long catch and run for a simulated touchdown. He beat the defense to the outside, and they could not run him down.
Walter McFadden:
McFadden was beaten a few times, but didn't really make an impression
i think the raiders value speed wayyyy too much to cut Walter Mcfadden or Jacoby Ford, and I think we need o-lineman so badly that we're not gunna part ways with campbell or Veldheer.
As for lamarr & rolando, they'll obviously make the team no matter how they perform.your thoughts?

I read that he looked better than DHB did in mini camp.Originally Posted by 7 sh0wTime 7
Has anyone seen Jacoby Ford in college? I know he's more of a speedster but is he at least a better prospect then DHB?
I feel the same way. It's only been a few weeks but I love what I've heard about Lamaar and Rolando. Especially Lamaar, this dude out there pissing off veterans going too hard. I love that kinda *++!.Originally Posted by DontStepOnMyShoes
This is kinda corny but whatever. Im starting to feel like we are getting guys that know the Raider tradition and you know proud to be a Raider. We're done bringing in big money free agent busts, and Jamarcus' negative non caring $!! attitude isnt an issue anymore. We're getting veteran leadership from guys that have been career long Raiders like Nnamdi. If you think about all the great Raiders teams we always had veteran Raiders on the squad not just some over paid free agent. Hopefully the Cable guy can get us atleast 7 wins so he can stick around.
