Personally, I think the 44th pick was a tad of a stretch, although if he fits the scheme that you run, it may have been worth the early pick.
Alot of the so called 'experts' were buzzing about him due to the superior Senior Bowl that he had. I think that if he just had a par SB and combine, he may have went in day 2 of the draft.
and on DHBey, look no further than the combine for the reason(s) Da Raiders took him over Crabtree. He excelled in a few of the drills and I guess Al Davis couldnt overlook that. They showed a stat of all of the 40 times of some guys taken by the Raiders, and this guy fit that list to a tee. They dont look for players, they look for speed. This could help to explain their record as of late.
