As the folks at NFL Network prepare to unveil the next 10 members of the Top 100 list (No. 20 through No. 11; 8:00 p.m. ET), one of the league’s coaches isn’t happy with the manner in which his team has been represented.

Coach Hue Jackson recently told KNBR that three Raiders simply aren’t enough.

“I would have guessed the three they picked, and I think they left out about seven more,” Jackson said, via the San Francisco Chronicle.

Jackson thinks some of his younger players could earn spots on future lists, including defensive end Matt Shaughnessy, safety Tyvon Branch, and receiver Jacoby Ford. Though it’s unclear whether Jackson thinks receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey is headed for great things, Jackson said that the team needs more out of him.

Of course, it’s hard to envision getting much less from Heyward-Bey, especially in relation to his entry into the league as the seventh overall pick in the draft.
