Fabian Washington 1st Rd to Raiders

[craigsker]

As a Raider fan I'm delighted to have Fabian Washington as the newest addition. First round, 23rd pick. I'm sure some of you won't share in my enthusiasm that he went to the Raiders right?

No Im not, you are correct sir. I live in KC so I think it goes without saying what I wont say. BUT, I *was* thrilled to see a fellow 'sker go in the 1st, so congrats to Fabian and best of luck to him, regardless of where he plays.

Grant Wistrom went sixth to the Rams in 98 followed by Jason Peter at 14 to the Carolina Panthers.

When it was announced that the Raiders picked Washington, did I hear someone shout his disapproval of the selection and heard some boos in the background?

It's Raider fan. Some of those idiots would boo God if they selected him.

I read that Len Pasquarelli thought the Raiders trading up from 26 to 23 and giving up another pick to get Fabian was the biggest head scratcher of the first round. He guaranteed that Fabian would have been there at #26. Hopefully Washington proves his worth. Good luck buddy.

Raiders' top pick has faced adversity before

By Steve Corkran, CONTRA COSTA TIMES

 

ALAMEDA - Where some sense fear, cornerback Fabian Washington finds excitement. Staring down a talented wide receiver such as Randy Moss isn't scary, it's a challenge.

 

 

Feeling pressure never enters the equation on the football field for Washington. Not when you have learned some of life's hard lessons at an early age.

Washington shows Raiders he's a pro at overcoming adversity

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Where some sense fear, cornerback Fabian Washington finds excitement. Staring down a talented wide receiver such as Randy Moss isn't scary, it's a challenge.
