Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
Not too many guys around that can run 4.3 at 6-6. The Raiders are drafting him to play wr. If he embraces it, and takes to the coaching, it could be a good pick. But no way would i have given up a 3rd rounder for him. But I'm actually rooting for Oakland this year. Lot's of former Skins that were good people....Jackson, Rock, JC and Saunders.

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
I didn't think he was worth taking at rounds 1-4. Not because he is not talented, but because of all the baggage. I believe he's 1st round talent personally, but there's that ever present risk that he would need to be cut from the team ala Vince Young.
A fifth rounder would be low enough to invest in order to take that risk. The lower the investment, the lesser the commitment. |

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
Better the Raiders then us, now if another team will step up and take one for the NFL and suck bad enough in order to take Luck off our board as well.

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
Hahahaha ... needed a good laugh to start the afternoon off. I disagree with people's thoughts about VC -- he would have given up this year's and next year's firsts to get TP

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
Typical of an organization as screwed-up as the Raiders to pick Pryor. He will be out of the league by 2014.

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
I don't think Pryor will do anything with the Raiders. Maybe a better organization someday.
But when you consider that the last player to go in the third round of the supplemental draft was Jeremy Jarmon to us in the third round...well, this isn't much of a reach if one at all. In general, the supplemental draft is not the place to find good bang for your buck. Like I said, I don't think Terrelle Pryor will make it with the Raiders. 50ish percent of third round picks in general washout without becoming starters. Pryor is buried at WR there, and while there's an opening at quarterback after the season when all their players are free agents, it's unlikely that Pryor gets the opportunity. If he has Seneca Wallace's career though, then he's basically the average midround pick. Nothing more, nothing less.

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
Any word on where the Carolina kid will end up? He's the only one reasonably worth a shot out of the 5 anyways.

And yes, as far as I know, Pryor would have been a free agent

Re: Raiders Select Terrelle Pryor
I read earlier that all the players that weren't picked in the supplemental draft are now free to sign with any team they choose? Would Pryor have been allowed to do that too if he hadn't been picked? Or would his special circumstances have affected that?
