They are the laughing stock of the NFL.
I am not a fan but the NFL needs to step in and save this franchise from Al Davis, he is a senile .

I'm wondering the same thing, the link to Michael is broken.

Broken just like the synapse that (doesn't) fire, making Al Davis' decisions.

Well, Mitchell has good size and speed (4.40 at Pro Days), who knows................

Speed is great, but its only one of the ingredients.
I would rather have a slightly slower player with great instincts, work ethic and character.
Davis basis his picks on if a player fits into a vertical passing game.
QB with a big arm
WR with speed
That is great every once in awhile but for the most part that offense went out in the early 80's.

I was referring to Mitchell- he's a safety. Last I heard, even in the NFL, that's a defensive position.

Yeah, your right.
My point was speed isnt everything then I got off track.

One of the draft day analysts (I don't remember which) could not figure out why the Raiders selected Bay, and honorable mention WR in the ACC, above Crabtree; can't say that I don't agree...
