That the Raiders would pick a wide receiver who ran a 4.3 40-yard dash is not a surprise. That they would pick 
Darrius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree is a stunner, plain and simple.
Despite never working out for an NFL team due to injury, many saw Crabtree as the top player in the draft. The NFL draft is truly a crap shoot and by picking the Maryland speedster over Crabtree of Texas Tech, the Raiders have shown they’re more than willing to roll the dice and pray not to see snake eyes.
