So Raiders take cook, Jerry will just grab Prescott
I think they both stink but would rather have Prescott.

Tapper was inconsistent but could play really good at times. I like the pick.

Everyone is happy with the pick of Tapper?...what?? I'm not saying anything is wrong with the pic I'm just surprised everyone is happy
Maybe the best "value" pick they've had in round 4 in A LONG TIME.
We certainly don't have any superstars, but our DL is starting to look like a young and talented group of guys who have a lot of upside to develop. Even if one may be out of the league in a year.
To be fair I don't think he played football till his junior year in HS but he as size and athletic ability to be a good pro.Also have to consider that Marinelli can work and help develop him. If he's got something solid to start with, that's good.
Move D-Law to the right side and let Tapper and Gregory switch out on the left side (once they are all back)? Sounds good to me.
Tapper has freakish physical ability. A real work in progress though. May need a few years to develop. Could be a good rotational player for us. We need bodies, not necessarily superstars. We had Ware in his prime for the majority of his career and never has anybody around him. You need 8-10 guys on the DL who are solid players. Collins and Tapper can be good rotational guys for years. May never become starters but that's okay.
If D-Law plays all 16 games, he will be a Pro Bowler this year. That's my prediction anyway. Gregory, Tapper, etc. will help out on the opposite side.
