DGDB&D: a Texans blog. found this 2/25/2008 on www.ibabuzz.com [flag]

Will this be the year the Raiders either sign or discover a playmaker or a big-hitter to play safety? The safety class is not considered particularly strong. When the first round is complete, Miami’s Kenny Phillips could be the only named called, and it’s possible no safeties at all will be taken. Alabama’s Simeon Castille was an intriguing playmaker for Nick Saban at ... [link]
