    The Oakland Raiders have taken Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland with the seventh pick of the NFL draft, passing up more heralded accomplished receivers to take the fastest of them all. The decision to choose Heyward-Bey on Saturday ahead of Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin or offensive tackle Eugene Monroe came as a bit of a surprise.

    Typical Raider pick. Guys were predicting the stupid move because Al is in love with straight line speed.

    You can't just focus in on one thing and use that as your only guide. It's like 40 time is all they see there.

    That narrow thinking only gets worse when you are that age.

    This is a guy who had great success taking risks and thinking out of the box. It hasn't been working for some time now. I think we drafted the better WR at 30 than the raisers got at 7.
