The Newest Cliff Branch


Another ridiculous selection by the Raiders. Senile Al Davis continues to be obsessed with speed as he looks to replace Cliff Branch for the 31st consecutive season. The Ray-duhs used the No. 7 pick on Darrius Heyward-Bey.

The fastest receiver in the draft, Heyward-Bey totaled 42 catches for 609 yards and five touchdowns last season. In comparison, Rice's Jarett Dillard produced those numbers in about a month.

And, with a selection like this, we'll probably see the Raiders picking in the top 10 again next year.
