nice, one thing this video shows and that alot of scouts say is this kid can wrap up, i like it maybe he can learn his fellow alum

sidenote anyone think he will rock 56 in dc?

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

He's got decent pursuit skills too...It would seem he is a good fit for a 4-3 LB because he looks fast on tape

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

I think he's going to be our replacement for Rocky in the 3-4 at ILB

LSU seems to have a problem producing players at the next level. Fortunately it seems to mainly be limited to guys who were looked at as 1st round picks. Right now Brady James is a pretty damn good inside linebacker for the Cowboys and he was picked......you guessed it, 4th round 103rd overall.

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

He looks good to me. He seems to be fast at getting to the ball carrier and he tackles with both arms. Would appear to have the potential as an all pro middle linebacker down the road if he uses time to study film and becomes a workout warrior and film room warrior. He looks like he has intensity. I like this pick a lot.

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

I like two things about him in this video. He hauls ass to the ball, and when he makes a stop, that's it. There's not lingering around talking trash, it's back to the line to do it again.

Will this guy be worth more to us than Bruce Campbell?? Got to believe that would've been a better pick. People have said that linebackers are easier to find. Two young offensive linemen would've been awesome..

Well, we did take two offensive linemen, actually 3. I think people will be surprised by Capers, but I don't have any link or amazing stat of proof, just that he has agility, and was a starting LT. He will make the transition to RT and be there for 10 years I hope.

I'm telling you Bruce Campbell has bust written all over him. He was an average player at Maryland. If not for the combine Campbell might have been a 6th or 7th rounder. If the front office thinks Riley was the better player then I have no problem with this pick.

I admit I wanted campbell too, but the more I've thought about it & listened to Kiper et al, I can see why so many teams passed on him. Sure, he has great athletic upside, but maybe he's just not much of a football player.

Remember how hyped some people here were for Robert McCune? That might be the same for Raiders nation w/Campbell.

I see no reason he couldn't wear #56. We have not had a good player wear it since Len Haus. It's overdue for some time in the spotlight.

I agree, Im no talent scout, but the word is that Bruce is garbage. I want o-linemen like everyone else, but I dont want to go out picking up bums. We were very thin at the LB position before the 3-4 conversion. We are still thin at the LB position. Im not mad at this pick.

Bruce Campbell = Fool's Gold

Lol, word is that the Raidahs are going to try him at RG and RT while Veldheer is their LT. That 4.8 40 time ain't gonna help him against Ware. Atheticism isn't everything. Technique is a huge part of making a successful block.

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

A 4th rd pick on BC is a steal with the right coaching he will produce i would've liked him but i'm glad we gos Caspers he'll be good with the right coaching, talent can only take you so far there has to be good coaching & the will to be great.

Re: Video Of OLB Perry Riley (Our 4th Round Pick)
 

Yes, Bruce Campbell could be a bust. BUT, some ppl predicted to go in the 1st round.

SO:
- Bruce Campbell - predicted first --> fourth
- Capers/Cook -- predicted third-fifth --> seventh

Without viewing all their tape/etc, it would seem that even if Bruce Campbell busts, he would probably still be better than Capers/Cook, right? I mean, it would seem his likelihood of "busting" may be high - but still lower than Capers/Cook. It's hard to believe the "pundits" get the grades mixed up by four rounds.. At most a RT, at least a RG. AND who knows, the TWO seventh rounders MAY have even been available undrafted.

Another way to put it -- [B][U]he MAY bust, but he is still a good VALUE in the 4th[/U][/B] - where you quickly forget busts, but you are very happy if they succeed.

Actually, some people predicted that the Raiders would be mesmerized by Campbell's freak athletic ability and take him in the first round. It was more a knock on the Raiders than any affirmation of Bruce Campbell. No one thought he was worth a first round pick
