Commitment to excellence. That’s what I, Barry Dadon, feel that my Oakland Raiders showed during the 2015 NFL Draft.
With the No. 4 overall pick of the draft, the Silver and Black landed quite possibly the safest and greatest player in this year’s crop, wide receiver Amari Cooper of Alabama.
Cooper was a stud for the Crimson Tide in college, shredding cornerback and safeties for tons of touchdowns and even more catches. Cooper is as close to a sure thing as there is when it comes to going from college to the pros.
I like the Raiders’ first pick so much that I may even buy a Mr. Cooper jersey.
Cooper should help revive the Raiders’ vertical passing game, leading quarterback Derek Carr and the rest of the team to just win, baby.
It was encouraging to see Oakland make a good first-round pick after taking the wrong guy so many times before in the past.
I’m also excited to see Mario Edwards, a defensive tackle out of Florida State, get picked up by the Raiders. Edwards, a 6-foot-3, 279-pound second-round pick, should be good up front for the Raiders.
The Raiders also addressed some issues with their offensive line, drafting Miami tight end Clive Walford in the third round and Miami guard Jon Feliciano in the fourth round. Hopefully Walford and Feliciano, both Hurricanes, can help the Raiders take the AFC West by storm during the 2015 season and in the years to come.
