Frankie2Gunz Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Good, it's time to move on from those bums. Ferrell is worthless and Abram is a massive liability in coverage. Two classic Grudock bum picks. Hopefull DZ can pull off a deal for a 3T who can generate some kind of pressure up the middle or a WR with some speed to stretch the field.

bucksavage1 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Ferrell pick was as bad as it gets. Nobody had him in the top 20 of any draft. Makes things worse is we let go of Denico Autry in place of him However, former busts like Jihad Ward are thriving in the league so I wouldn’t be surprised if a changed of scenery worked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for Ferrell to the extent it’s not his fault he was over drafted just like DHB they were never going to come close to justifying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated the Ferrell pick. I wanted Josh Allen. 1 minute ago, SimonGruber said: I feel bad for Ferrell to the extent it’s not his fault he was over drafted just like DHB they were never going to come close to justifying. I remember hating the DHB pick too. Dude had the worst hands ever, could only run like 2 routes, and had no ability to track the ball on fly routes. All he could do was run fast. Should have converted him to DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DHB was the pinnacle of Al Davis (rest his soul) crazy like a fox type move. I’m pretty sure the “ Hire a GM “ billboards were already up on the freeway by then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he would have made an awesome RB - his only real fault was his ability to, you know, catch the ball. I suppose a little bit like Cordarelle Paterson - failed WR, very good RB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if we had drafted him in the 3rd or 4th round and he had become a role player / back-up no one would have batted an eyelid, but #4 overall was always going to be a mill round his neck.

For how overrated I thought Hue Jackson was by a portion of Raider fans. He got the most out of DHB iirc majority of his stuff was more possession type routes Hitches etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Patterson has had resurgence at RB. Ironically McFadden would of been a better WR and DHB a better RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had alot of haters from fans and non Raider fans. DHB wasn’t great but wasn’t scared to go over the middle and played hard. I remember being excited at the potential of DHB, Jacoby Ford, D Moore. Maybe I was bias but I was surprised they flamed out so fast. Hue had the offense looking good, he just gave up too much for Palmer. He also started to come off shady and power hungry. Palmer wasn’t bad, but gave up too many assets Edited October 18, 2022 by Humble_Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
