With the 8th pick in the NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select... Rolando McClain.  This was the first pick in 4 Years that the Raider Nation had a sigh of relief.  Yes no Bruce Campbell... or anyone Al Davis would fall in love with.  The Raiders actually might have made the best available draft there was that fit a team need.  Rolando McClain can be the MLB that can be feared by many in the NFL and is a team leader. In his 3 year college career collected 274 Career tackles and last season was the Dick Butkus award winner.  His sophomore season he was the Defensive captain and same with his junior season.

 

Overall Rolando McClain will be a great player and is what we need to be the Captain and the player of the future for the Oakland Raiders.
