Wow.  Jamarcus Russell, Darius Heyward-Bey, and now Rolando McClain.

Not really, since they already released him.

I wouldn't say OAK was "fucked" on DHB, either... they definitely overdrafted him, but he's a decent player.   His last two years (105rc/1571yd/9td) have been better than Hartline's (109rc/1632yd/2td); it's not his fault Al reached crazily to pick him.

I don't see how his retirement has anything to do with the Raiders at this point.

If you think the Dolphins draft history has been bad, the Raiders have done much worse. How can you whiff on two top five picks? That's gotta hurt

Are you referring to Ronnie Brown and Jake Long, or someone else?

If you did it to yourself, are you really fucked?

My point is this.  Your top pick should be a starter right away and contribute solidly.  And if he's a top ten, he needs to be a sure fire thing.

Ask the Jets...Vernon Gholston and Mark Sanchez. (technically Gholston went 6th but close enough)
