Oakland Raiders

Positions of Need (as per NFL.com)

QB, OL, CB, LB, DL

Needs Analysis: The quarterback situation has to be resolved. The Raiders are not likely to get Donovan McNabb in a trade with one year left on his contract and the veteran not willing to do a long-term extension. There are major questions about JaMarcus Russell's lack of development. The Raiders would be wise to take a QB in the third round and start the process of life after Russell. The Raiders also need offensive tackle help and it's time to take someone who's just a solid football player and doesn't necessarily win the "measurable" contest. The team might look to replace a few linebackers and find a corner. This isn't a bad football team. Coach Tom Cable could lead the Raiders to eight wins if he was left alone to make the picks.

*** I was tempted to list all of the workout warriors and fast, but raw athletic types with late first to late third round grades - but will give Oakland the benefit of the doubt for the FBG consensus draft! ***

It's no secret that Al wants to replace Morrison at MLB, but that guy may already be on the team. Haden is the BPA but doesn't measure out in the height/weight/speed. LT is a HUGE need, but the taste of Gallery may still linger. Dez didn't time fast enough either. What in the hell will this team do? Safety is always a priority with Al. Does Earl fit the bill? With this pick, trading down would be a real possibility, but that's not Al's M.O. either. Really... WTF? To hell with it. I voted McClain but Haden gets honorable mention and that's only because the question is, "What will the Raiders do with this pick" so Bulaga is the most obvious choice and is therefore eliminated.

 
Voted "Other" since that is the safest guess for any Al Davis pick. Who saw Heyward-Bey as the pick last year?

 
My understanding is that Al never trades his picks to move down those this is the year he does it. I have no idea why or for who but that is my WAG.

 
I was very wrong last year on the DHB pick, I thought Crabtree was a lock, so grain of salt and all that:

People trying to shoehorn an OT at this spot might very well be disappointed. Henderson at LT is an Al Davis guy, and also didn't play as bad as everyone thought. Certainly not enough to make OT such a lock here at #8. RT is an issue, but is that worth the #8 spot? I think so, but I don't think they think so. The interior of the line is a much, much bigger concern, and I hope they draft a guard early.

With Trevor Scott moving to OLB, and Greg Ellis gone, DE is a long-suffering position. AN outside edge rush is needed, and would allow Seymour to spend more time inside. DT is also a huge, gap, with very few live bodies at the spot.

I voted Jason Pierre-Paul, and wouldn't be surprised to see Dan Williams there either.

Why would Dez be the pick? What does "It's the Raiders" mean in this context?

Because Al doesn't draft for team need. He drafts for flashyness, not someone that makes sense. At least not in the 1st round.Name me the last 1st round pick that doesn't fit the description that I just gave you.

Michael Huff was not a flashy pick--and really, all the first-round draft picks between 1999 (Michael Stinchcomb) and 2007 are not flashy picks, unless you want to count Seabass.

Huff wasn't a flashy pick? My memory might not be correct, but wasn't he like the biggest, fastest DB out there? He was a saftey that ran as fast as the CB's. I think he ran like a 4.3 40 and put up all around impressive numbers at the combine.

You can argue that if you want; what about Fabian Washington? Robert Gallery? Nnamdi Asomugha? The past three years, Al has chosen offensive skill-position players in the first round. That's the same number as he chose in the previous 20 years.

Al likes being unpredictable. It's not all about flash, and it's certainly not all about offense.

I didn't say offense or defense. I just said the player he choses recently has just been flashy and doesn't make much sense for the team. Who was the last pick that you can tell me wasn't a flashy player? A player that on draft day everyone was like "wow, that pick makes a lot of sense for the Oakland Raiders".

Are we talking 5-6 years?

And do you really want to bring up Fabian Washington? Basically the CB version of DHB. Only reason he was drafted in the first round is because he ran the fastest time for a player ever I think. And you know Al loves his fast 40 times.

Agreed. So again, why would it be Dez Bryant?

I guess it was Bryant or JPP. I just don't think the Raiders go Baluga.
