No kidding. No one liked the Bey pick at all.

Stop being petty

All I know is the Raiders thought they had there triplets but it didn't turn out how they expected.

2010 Alabama would be a solid answer to your question. I still can't believe that team lost 3 games.

RB-Darren McFadden


do what? He just had a 1,000 yard season where there were only 8 1000 yard rushers in the NFL this year, and he basically did it in 10 games.

Sometimes it's you, not them.

The Redskins in 2000 had two of the first three picks in the draft, loaded up with aging superstars and were heavy NFC favorites. I think they won 7-8 games.

Seriously, go and look back at that roster. Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Irving Fryar, Andre Reed, Larry Centers, Dana Stubblefield, Darrell Green, etc.

McFadden?

Are you for real?

He was the Raiders entire offense a couple of years ago when we had no QB. He's had a lot of injuries but even in 2010 when he only started 13 games he had over 1,100 yards.

The common wisdom on Bey coming out of college was that he had elite speed and wasn't very good at the game of football


...and pretty much everyone slammed the Raiders for that pick
