You cant judge a draft for at least two years. So we will see. You can teach anyone to catch, how to catch, run after the catch, but you can't teach speed.... ie the Vertical game

I didnt say the Raiders should have picked up Maclin... though that would have been a much better pick than what they got.. Maclin is just as fast (runs a 4.31 and wants to get down to 4.29). and Maclin has MUCH better hands and put up MUCH better numbers. Also he has Devon Hester return qualities.
And I dont know where you got that over the middle thing.. EVERY draft expert said Maclin is courageous and not afraid to go over the middle..
The Raiders were stupid for not picking Crabtree.. not Maclin.
And Maclin was an amazing pick for the 19th pick. him and jackson compliment each other so much. great draft by the birds.
