Not horrible, but pretty close. Gallery and Huff are disappointments considering how high they were drafted (2nd and 7th respectively). Jury is still out on McClain. Run DMC, IMO, has been the only quality pick since Asomougha and Janikowski. To me, the Raiders giving up early picks is like the Flames. Their history of drafting drives the value of a 1st round selection down.
With Davis gone, maybe the scouting and due diligence will extend beyond the combine 40-time and that will improve.
