Well I'm Ok with taking DMC. If you subscribe to the "take the best player avaialbe" instead of drafting for need the Raiders did the right thing. How will it work out? Hard to say. The Raiders really could have used Dorsey but let him slide by and now he's a Chief. Ugh.

The names of Stabler, Tatum, van Eeghen, Casper, Branch, Lamonica, Shell, Upshaw being used to talk about the game of football today is crazy.:pound:

Its sad when you have to list these guy as being part of todays "American" game. These guys were players when we were kids, and have nothing to do with the Raiders of today. The only thing these guy have in common with the current Raiders is the uniform. There is a big difference between being a fan and being caught up in hero worship.:shakehead:
