TheOakland Raiders were broadly criticized for taking LSU tackle, Joe Barksdale, too early in the 2011 NFL Draft. Not justthat, however it came having a pick that was acquired by way of a trade they had been broadly criticized for making.And on top of all of that hewas drafted for a place that the Raiders currently don'thave an individual beneath agreement to play. Obviously all eyes will be on Barksdale.

Now, the first thing I observed was an additionaloffensive tackle did not go offthe board till following the Raiders had created Chimdi Chekwa their subsequent choice. That means thereis extremely higher plausibility that Barksdale would have been about at their next selection. He had very comparable grades towardsthe linemen selected within the fourth-round. This would have freed up the Raiders to take a corner a selection previously, and utilized theirfourth-round choose onBarksdale. Take the leap....

In between the draft board time the Raiders chosen Barksdale and Chekwa Texas corner, CurtisBrown, and West Virginia corner, Brandon Hogan, had been taken. Hogan is regarded as much more of a zone coverage defender, and he was also dogged bycharacter issues. He wouldnot have been a great match.

Brown around the other hand is really a little much more interesting. He has very good cover skills, and was projected as high as being asecond-round selection. Heis about an inch shorter and five points lighter than Chekwa. Nevertheless, he was likely byno means around the Raiders radar as he ran a 4.51 40 at the Mix. Another player worthmentioning is Cal securityChris Conte. He went off the board with the very next choose.

Brewer is regarded as a function in progress. He has poorfoot work and he's a little lumbering. He is alsonot that potent for his size. He's incosistent in runblocking and vulnerable to edgerushers. He has less than typical awareness, and can play with an edge but that isinconsistent. In brief, Breweris more possible than present actuality.
Barksdale and Hairston is a goodcomparison. And, I'd be willing tobet the Raiders ended up determining between these two, and they'recomparable gamers.

In the finish, I suchas the Raiders choice of Barksdale at tackle considering the tackle prospects available when they selected him. But offered the choice that he could be around later on, I'd have preferred the Raiders had taken Curtis Brown ratherthan Barksdale after which taken Barksdale instead of Chekwa.
