Darth Davis Mock Draft
by DarthDavis on Apr 25, 2011 11:27 PM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
Round 2.
FS Rahim Moore- 6'0 205 The Raiders could really use the services of a starting caliber FS. No one is really sure what is going to happen but the consensus among Raider fans is Mitchell and Branch both won't be able to play there, I think otherwise but given the opp to take a young talented ball hawk for Woodson to groom is the better option. Stevie Brown showed promise but not nearly enough to warrant the starting role and Eugene is a sp team ace but very poor in coverage, especially with what we ask in our FS. Moore is a sure tackler and film room rat that will transition well to the NFL.
Round 3
RT James Brewer 6'5" 320lbs- Good footwork and overall athleticism to match his size. Needs to learn how to use his hands more and become better refined at Pass Pro but has the capability to be a force in the run game early in his career. Many try to compare him to a RT version of Rodger Saffold. One of the knocks is that he isn't a mualer but he came to football later and Hue has enough fire to light up anyone. I'm fairly sure we can retain the services of Langston Walker and have Brewer compete for the starting role later in the year.
Round 4.
OG Clint Boling 6'3" 310lbs- Great Experience and technical know how for the offensive line, decent athleticism with really strong hands. Boling has started to slip on a lot of boards I've seen as the latest wave of players have been emerging in the 3rd and 4th. I could see teams passing on the Guard position as most of the time we seem to over value the position as mockers. Boling would make a great LG or RG.
Round 5.
CB Rashad Carmichael 5'11 190lbs- Man corner with great speed and good vertical. Has the ball skills to be dominate, but to become a better rounded he's gonna have to show more willingness in run support. Huge steal for the 5th where most are projecting him.

Round 6.
Schuylar Oordt 6'6" 260lbs - I like Oordt out of the TE's for us because he isn't over valued and is a decent blocker as most of the TE's in this draft have similar attributes without the willingness to put in the dirty work on running downs. Oordt has the speed, vertical, and soft hands to be a force in the NFL.
7a. LB Mike Mohamed 6'3 240lbs- I would like to see what we can do with Goethel and Groves at OLB. Mohamed could even play OLB but for this we'll just say he's SP teams and back up. This young man is a tackling machine with the range needed in the NFL.
via www.pac-10.org
7b. DE Craig Marshall 6'5" 275lbs- All the potential in the world, but has been plagued with some injuries and sitting behind Selvie and JPP. Could turn into a great player with a little help from Mike Waufle.

All in all this is my mock gimme a grade please.

Quentin Groves to Oakland.
by DarthDavis on Apr 21, 2010 4:10 PM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
6'3" 264lbs, 25 year old DE, former 2nd round pick from Auburn
First 2 years Groves has only contributed 35 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Hardly an impressive tenure but his athleticism coming out of college was jaw dropping to say the least. His Pro Day 40, was 4.43 and 4.37, but that was also at a 249lb weight. Since then he has beefed up to a more respectable DE weight.
via patrickdonohue.freedomblogging.com
Things are getting interesting in Oakland. It hasn't been officially stated yet, but Groves is twittering that he got traded to Oakland. Could we be seeing a transition to a 3-4 Defense or is this the Situational Pass Rushing DE that we needed to draft? Personally, I really liked Groves when he came out of college, maybe like his twitter account reads he just needs a "new beginning." The guy is as athletic as they come. Hopefully, Waufle can do his thing with Groves and turn him into the next Osi.
Still nothing about what we gave up for him.
Lookout Raiderettes! Big Ben rumors to potentially the Raiders
by DarthDavis on Apr 21, 2010 12:42 PM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
Here comes Big Ben!
via s3.amazonaws.com
Adam Schefter is reporting that a team in the top 10 is currently negotiating a deal for QB Ben Roethlisberger.
I seriously, hope we are not going to over pay on this guy. If we enter in negotiations with the Steelers they better have a long line of drunk vegas Ben Roethlisberger photos to cheapen the price. I think a 2010 1st round swap would do good. Then the Steelers can get Clausen. Maybe even switch 2nd rounders also.
The only other teams that this would make sense for are the Rams, Browns, and Bills. I gotta say this kind of smells of another Oakland soon to be castoff.

Its the Final Countdown....mock by Darth Davis
by DarthDavis on Apr 16, 2010 8:16 AM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
So what I try to accomplish in my mocks is to blend what I want with what Mr. Davis wants. Because what Mr. Davis wants is what I want. But I can't know what Mr. Davis wants because he doesn't respond to my invites to for a Carne Asada Plate and a fine bottle of Tequila. I have concluded this is due to the dark lord has already discovered the "force" is strong within me, and I need to develop it further on my own.
This is my opinion of how the draft will shape up next Thursday.
Round 1.
With the 8th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders will select
Trent Williams OT Oklahoma
via ou.media.clients.ellingtoncms.com
The Sooner Warrior should be #1 on our draft boards. I think Cable is going to have Bulaga at #1 with T-Dub at #2. But Mr. Davis is going to want the athleticism that T-Dub displays for OT. I see Williams starting out on the Right Side and us giving Barnes and Hendo a short time to shape up or be prepared to get benched. I personally love this pick. Williams on play alone is a top 10 pick and after his combine he is a top 5 pick, but most people are scared by his first year at LT. There is a learning curve when it comes to switching sides. Cable mentioned earlier that the recent emergence of talent at the RE position requires extreme athleticism to mirror at the OT spot. Williams has the 4 year starter, locker room leader, championship organization pedigree we are looking for in an immediate starter.
If not Trent Williams be prepared for Bryan Bulaga, I am convinced we are going OT in Round 1.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 2
With the 39th pick in the Draft The Oakland Raiders will select
DE Carlos Dunlap from the University of Florida
Again, Dunlap has the rare size, speed and pass rush moves one would look for in a RE. He has concerns about his motivation but Richard Seymour as a tutor is the ideal situation for the extremely talented Dunlap. We currently lack this type of player to rush the right side. Shaughnessy is more of a LE, and he can play both. I think the contract hold up with Seymour is a result of the DE position, we are going to move him more inside to the 3T more and have him play next to Kelly (who should play more NT). This is a huge point of discussion which I anticipate to ensue after this mock, but I don't think anyone can dispute that on rushing downs we should see Seymour at LE and passing downs he should slide in at UT, because he does not have the moves to get to the passer. Dunlap is a perfect Raider pick and on ability alone he should be a top 20 player, further, he clocked a 4.61 on a wet Florida field, which is probably more like a 4.57.
If not Dunlap then anticipate CB Brandon Ghee or OG Vladmir Ducasse
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 3.
With the 69th pick of the 2010 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select
Jon Asamoah OG Illinois
via a.espncdn.com
Wow, Asamoah has to be a favorite prospect by many. He is an academic all american, comes from an amazing family. He is as hard working and determined as they come. The only way we don't pick Asamoah is if he comes of the board before this, which could very well happen. I really hope this is not the case as Asamoah is exactly the type of player we want on the offensive side to turn this around. Williams/Bulaga and Asamoah would be a very bright future for our Offensive line indeed. Jon Asamoah CBS feature
If not Asamoah the pick should be CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 4.
With the 106th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select
Myron Lewis CB Vanderbilt
I can't say enough about how much I think this kid is one of the biggest sleepers in the draft. Physically and mentally unparalleled in the draft. Very good man to man corner, but needs to develop his mirror abilities much in the same way Nnamdi Asomugha had to when he first came in. Has a lot of the same issues Nnamdi did with the same upside. Academic All-American, graduated early with Honors and is just an all round work horse.
If not Myron Lewis then look possibly for a DT like Linval Joseph (who is being projected way too early by fans)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 5
With the 135th pick of the 2010 draft the Oakland Raiders select
FB Clay Harbor Missouri State
Harbor is a very impressive FB candidate. He mostly played TE but projects to a hybrid at the next level. Physically very impressive. Excellent blocker with long range and devastating technique, will not let up on his blocks until the next man is on his back or the whistle blows. Also creates some very interesting packages as he can create mismatches against LB's and S's. Don't be surprised if he ends up being a 4th round pick, but if he is available at this spot consider him an Oakland Raider, I could see the Raiders very high on Clay Harbor.
If not Harbor then expect us to look at Marshall Newhouse OG TCU
________________________________________________________________________________________
With the 158th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select
Phillip Dillard MLB Nebraska
W 
via media.scout.com
Dillard is a very fast, sideline to sideline MLB. He is ideal for a 4-3, and was a very stout and vocal leader for the Cornhusker defense. Very impressive college career, I can't figure out why he is being rated this low but again its time to find the sleepers and here is a big one.
If not Dillard look for DE Alex Daniels from Cincinnati
________________________________________________________________________________________
Round 7a.
With the #??? of the 2010 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select
C/G Jeff Byers University of California
Byers will basically compete with Chris Morris for the backup C position, and provide some excellent depth at multiple O-line spots if we are faced with injuries to our interior. Byers brings the resume Cable wants and has slipped quite a bit in most NFL mocks and is picked higher usually just off of name recognition. Joe Hawley would be a very good choice but I don't think he makes it this far.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
With the #??? of the 2010 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select
Ekom Udofia DT Stanford
If Mr. Davis has a late round niche its for identifying DT and DE value later in the draft. Udofia is a consistent and hard working, smart block occupier. He will become an excellent rotational NT for the Oakland Raiders.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Few last points heading into the draft. Watch for the Raiders to try and trade Thomas Howard, I wouldn't be surprised to see them accept less then expected value as Trev Scott is going to be groomed for our long term OLB as well as the obvious Kamerion Wimbley. If we get a late 3rd or early 4th, watch for Clay Harbor to be the pick.
Also, I would expect the Raiders to trade a 2011 draft pick for Jason Campbell, we haven't had much of a FA, so I would be surprised if we offered a 2010 pick for him. I could see a 2011 3rd, but we will get in the bidding for Campbell as the wire closes. Apparently the Redskins are asking for a 4th, so maybe if we can get a deal for Howard done then it might include that but until then look for a 2011 3rd or conditional pick or something like that
_______________________________________________________________________________________
This is all for fun, I love the Oakland Raiders and I love this magical time of year when every team has a chance. I study the team and its players very well and this is my concluding mock for the 2010 NFL draft. Thanks for reading and I hope we all get what we want come next week. Future Hall of Famers!!!!!!!!!
Raiders have interest in CB Joe Haden
by DarthDavis on Mar 25, 2010 6:44 PM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
Joe Haden stated that he has "received the most interest from the Browns, Raiders, Titans and Bengals" via Latehits on Twitter. Personally, I was soooo mad at the combine and couldn't believe the 4.5+ he ran, I was worried he ran himself out of our "Raid-ar" but Thank Gene Upshaw, that is not true and rather it was the case he was suffering from a back sprain. Haden would be an excellent pick for us, we wouldn't be taking a RT in the top 10 which is typically unheard of. I see Haden, despite playing a very difficult position as one of the most pro ready prospects in this draft. His game is flawless and sound.
5'11" 195lbs 4.4 speed
2007- 63 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 12 PBU, 1 INT, 1 FR
2008- 87 tackles, .5 TFL, .5 sack. 12 PBU, 3 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR
2009- 68 tackles, 5 TFL, 3 sacks, 10 PBU, 4 INT, 2 FF
Haden is an ideal Shutdown Man Coverage Corner. Has all the physical traits to mirror his opponent all over the field and in and out of cuts with the deep speed to run with anyone. His ball skills are fantastic and though I don't have a specific # to give you, he should easily be 40"+ Vertical guy. Excellent hands and ample to plucking the ball out at its highest point, dangerous with the ball for an occasional pick 6. Very good tackler, but this would have to be the main area for him to improve on, has the toughness to bring down anyone but does drop his shoulder more then one would like. Haden has a great character and is highly motivated to play at the highest level he can.
With 3 CB's, 2 of which are approaching 30+ with 2 years left under tender and SR26 as a free agent next year and given the value The Oakland Raiders place on the cornerback position this is a very good, smart, and safe choice come pick #8 of the 2010 draft. We know we need the lines addressed but our key components or highest values on the line are all filled. What we need is RT, RG, rotational NT, competitive C and Nickel pass rusher for the right side. All of which have excellent value later in the draft.
I would be ecstatic if Haden donned the S&B.
Rethinking my most recent Mock, I will keep it for now but just throw this out there
1. CB Joe Haden
2. RT Rodger Saffold
3. NT Linval Joseph
4. RG Zane Beadles
5a. C Eric Olsen
5b. RE Alex Daniels
7a. MLB Matt Mayberry
7b. Best SLB prospect available
Darth Davis's Mock Draft
by DarthDavis on Mar 23, 2010 9:31 PM EDT
on Silver And Black Pride
A lot of you probably don't remember me, I was strolling around here about a year ago this time. I was reading through your comments about the direction we should attack this draft. I thought I might share my perspective, for what it is worth. I will try to be around here a little more, but you know how it is :)
Now I present to you the freaks for our next gen Oakland Raiders..................................
The 2010 NFL Draft:
Round 1. OT Trent Williams 6'4" 314 Oaklahoma
via media.scout.com
I would easily rank Big Trent as the #2 Tackle in the draft. And for the immediate purpose of playing RT, I would rank him easily #1. Khalif Barnes has been resigned and currently would serve as our RT, but that is not saying much. That is basically only saying Barnes would beat out Eric Pears for the position. We do not have a whole lot invested in the OT position, and being that it is one of the most crucial positions to offensive success this is the year we don't shy away.
Trent struggled at LT or at least people say so, but mainly point to one play (i.e. Bradford's injury) but I really don't see it. During college he did more then demonstrate the ability to dominate in the run game and be a rock in pass protection. Putting him on the right side would be an ideal situation, which in turn will produce more 1st downs and keep the defense fresh. Ultimately, if need be down the road, he can make the transition back over to LT (again if need be). I have Bulaga as a better swing tackle in the immediate but let Cable get his hands on this workhorse and watch out. Trent Williams is the #1 run blocker in this draft and displays all the nastiness it takes to become an Oakland Raider. Plus, Trent Williams showed Mr. Davis he has the freak athleticism deserving to don the S&B.
I have been flirting with the ideas of Dez Bryant, Joe Haden, Rolando McClain, JPP and Derrick Morgan. I can't see a DE after using our first from next year on Richard Seymour, especially as we have 2 OLB's capable of the position as well as soon to be household name Matt Shaughnessy and my #2 underrated Raider Jay Richardson (#1 Tommy Kelly). Haden would probably be my second choice out of the talent above but given the 2 above average CB's we have and the Awesome One, I think we can address CB later on, which we will.
To the idea that a LT should be the pick a Bruce Campbell for example. Mario Henderson is an excellent football player and will show that to the rest of the league in the immediate future. Granted he isn't there yet but watch the difference from when Robert Gallery was healthy to when he was not. All of Henderson's issues came once Robert Gallery went down and he became the main man on the offensive line, obviously not a role he was ready for with just under a full season of starting in the NFL.
Round 2. Terrance Cody DT Alabama 6'4" 349lbs
The release of Gerard Warren points to me one thing, we finally realized we need to get back to the big NT's of old. When we had guys like Ted Washington and Sam Adams people never ran it down our throat like they are doing now. Cody would give us a stud NT for first down and run sets. He obviously isn't a sack machine, but if you don't put 2 guys on this kid you better be prepared to have 350lbs ready to eat something. Cody will be a force for guys like Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour who have always gathered the attention of opposing lines. Throw in one guy that has to be double teamed and look out. Picking up Cody will equate to a monster year for Kelly and Seymour.
Also, the emergence of under rated raider #3 Desmond Bryant will allow Cody to stay fresh when we need him most. Tommy Kelly is more then capable of playing NT, but I don't think we want to glue anyone to one position. Seymour is capable of both end spots as well as inside. Kelly can switch to either DT position and Shaughnessy is a stud on either side as well as my boy Jay Richardson. Also, don't sleep on Scott or Wimbley coming down in nickel packages. Mike Waufle will have a field day thinking of line sets with this much versatility, but the key to that versatility is picking up a NT.
I think Cody will be there come round 2, he's not a machine and shouldn't be a mainstay center piece for a 3-4 as of yet. But given our ability to rotate guys he makes an excellent choice come round 2.
Guys I like but can't see slipping this far are: Devin McCourty, Maurkice Pouncey, Everson Griffen (if we go DE in the first I guarantee its Griffen) or Carlos Dunlap, Rodger Saffold would be my 2nd choice as I do see him being there.
Round 3. Zane Beadles OG/OT 6'4" 307
Does anyone else miss the days of Steve Wisnewski as much as me? Well then say hello to Zane Beadles, the premier Nasty guy of the draft. Putting him at RG would be night and day from the weak and ineffective Cooper Carlisle. Beadles has all the physical tools to be a very special Guard in the NFL. One word description via Todd McShay and Scouts Inc. "Mauler." Upper body strength and a long reaching punch will be felt by AFC West foes for a long time if we pick this guy up. His athleticism is exposed when on an island as seen during the Senior Bowl, but all his weaknesses are position related. You put him on the inside and those weaknesses vanish, easily my #3 OG in the draft after Iupati and Rodger Saffold. I like him much more the Johnson and Asamoah.
Beadles is a blue chip, hard working, intelligent football player. Exactly the kind of guy that would give Tom Cable a semi hard on when coaching.
Second Choices- Owusu-Ansah, Tennant, Myron Lewis, Jared Veldheer, Carlton Mitchell
Round 4. Myron Lewis CB Vanderbilt 6'2 203lbs
via papasmoustache.files.wordpress.com
I can't find a better value Corner in the draft. Myron Lewis is pretty much The Nnamdi Clone of the draft. Everything I read about him points to success and a Nnamdi like impact at the next level after a few seasons of dedication. Academic All-American, graduating early with honors. Excellent burst and down field speed. 34" arms! Superb tackling technique, aggressive against the run and in the blitz (5 sacks last season). His only issue is due to his size he can be stiff in the hips, which is exactly the same issue Nnamdi had in his transition to the next level.
If I didn't think we could get him with our 4th, I would take him in the 3rd over Owsu-Ansah and especially Chris Cook (malcontent, poor work ethic, and can't tackle). Low 4.4 speed, 38" vertical, did I mention he has 34" arms. Easily, one of my top 5 favorite prospects for this year. I can't say enough about him. Putting him behind Nnamdi would be a dream!
2nd choice: Jamar Chaney
Round 5. MLB Matt Mayberry 6'2 238lbs
via lh3.ggpht.com
Mayberry flat out flies around the field with 4.45 speed (yes thats right 4.45 speed). He has the vision and tackling ability to be the guy who takes over if we decide to not resign Capt. Kirk next season. Mayberry can play all LB positions and pairing him with Ricky Brown would give us the needed depth to create one dominating front 7. If we lose Morrison I could easily see Brown and Mayberry being our MLB's. I can't wait to see what this kid is capable of in the next level. Ideal blitzer (5 sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss) and very capable of dropping into coverage with his fluid agility (doesn't really have the ball skills but his coverage technique is there) and with 24 reps you know he can pack that extra hammer to jar the ball loose. This might be a little bit high for the kid but you know when the Dark Lord looks into him he is going to be on our "Raid-ar."
2nd choice: Eric Olsen
Round 5b. Eric Olsen C Notre Dame 6'4" 306lbs
via isportsweb.com
Not the fastest of Center's but I would like you to find one stronger and more Nasty than this guy. 35 reps! A straight up tough guy in the middle of the line. The definition of a Raider "toss you around upside down and laugh when he's conquered and won." Satele deserves his chance next year as he showed flashes of why we brought him in and granted he is young. But, Satele is also a FA next season and spending a 5th on a guy like Olsen would be one of the smartest things we could do. No Raider team has ever been successful without a fierce dominating Center.
All round very talented prospect. He has the punch and inside mirror ability to lock on his opponent. Down the field blocking is his weakness but given that 6 of our games are going against 3-4's every year at least, he should be exactly what we are looking for. If Satele can't hang this is the guy you want in his wings, I wouldn't be surprised if he beat out Satele this year in camp. Satele could easily play a back up G role on the left side.
Round 7a. Nolan Carroll CB Maryland 6'0 203 lbs
This is basically a huge discount pick for us. Carroll would probably have been a late 2nd round pick but he broke his leg early in this last season. He couldn't perform at the combine but proved at his proday that he is back to 100%. Ran a 4.37 and showed the impressive strength he had on the field. Not going to lie and say I watch most of these guys, because I don't. I simply read into the analysis by several different sources and collect the consistencies they have strengths and weaknesses.
Carroll fits our defense with his down the field speed and aggressive play against the run, he fights through blocks and attacks the runner. I would project Carroll as our #2 nickel back and possible predecessor for the under rated Chris Johnson (who doesn't get as much love as he should from the Nation, NO ONE has a more difficult assignment then playing opposite the Awesome One).
Round 7b. Aaron Morgan DE Louisiana-Monroe 6'4" 249lbs
via media.scout.com
We need a nickel rusher. I like having Scott and Wimbley focusing on their role as OLB and not trying to overload them but if need be they could serve this purpose. Raider scouts came away very impressed with this kid after his pro day. Having that extra pass rusher will be huge for sliding Seymour inside with Kelly or Desmond Bryant. Basically a low risk high reward target, he will find the QB as he is ultra athletic and well suited for the role of a nickel pass rusher.

The Oakland Raiders are proud to welcome on of the most prolific Wide Receivers in College Football History.
via thegameison.files.wordpress.com
Once again the Oakland Raiders find themselves with the #1 player on the board available at their pick. Crabtree provides this team with a big play threat at a position of need. With Crabtree, Chaz Schilens, Johnnie Lee Higgins, and Arman Shields we feel we have the best young WR corps in the NFL, to follow our best young RB tandem. We are going to have no problem putting up points for a very very long time.
The CrabMan and his CrabShack will be open for business in Oakland, CA with some extra entrepreneurship around NFL cities and Hawaii. To the rest of the league.....Good Luck!
- I am the GM for the Raiders in this forum and just wanted to show the blog the outcomes and keep you posted. I thought Posey and LiveAdam would appreciate and I am the GM I sent the pick without hesitation as Crab-Man is obviously the Best Player in the whole Draft.
With the #40 pick of the 2009 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select....
FS Louis Delmas Western Michigan
Delmas heals all the wounds surrounding our recent history of Safeties. He is an amazing leader and proved to be in the names of the Best Safeties in NCAA with his season of 114 Tackles, 3 passes broken up, 4 picks (1 for a TD). He brings a tenacity and toughness to the FS position that we have needed desperately, We have a big positive in the Safety position now with
FS Delmas, Eugene
SS Huff, Branch
The Huff and Fargas trade did not go through thank god I was pretty worried about that one.
I passed on Michael Johnson and Ron Brace. I like Michael Johnson as a prospect but I feel we have something great in Trevor Scott. Delmas is a smart, low risk, high ceiling pick as I liken him to Bob Sanders inthat he knows how to play the FS at a dominating level. Brace I see as a 22 year old Terd Sands without the face punching incident.

It has been a long process for me but with the combine gone and FA underway I am getting pretty certain the direction of my mock and I don't anticipate any more big changes to the direction so I want to share my ideas for criticizism and comment thus without further adu the way of the darkside mock.....
