If I was the Owner of the Raiders things would be much better.... Obviously Im not so the most I can do is Pray to god Al D doesn't botch the draft. Two years ago I wanted Adrian Peterson... Didn't happen... Last year for one whole season I prayed for the RAIDERS to draft Darren Mcfadden.... They did, Thanks god!! This Year I'm Praying they draft Defense, Preferably LB or DL. Or for the Raiders to trade for 2 first round picks and pickup two really good offensive lineman. And I have been Praying for Rey Maualuga, James Laurinitus, Or some big name Defensive player. I have checked out mock drafts that have the Raiders typically picking an O-Lineman, I live in Oakland and the last thing we as fans want is another Robert Gallery. Yes Al D and the whole Raider organization is a bit gun shy when it comes to O lineman, that along with an intense desire to win in Oakland (the fans) makes me believe Michael Oher coming to the town is not going to happen. I believed we should have given $60MIll to FANECA instead of Walker, but hey shyt happens especially in Oakland. I also believe our best shot at a solid Offensive line is through free agency, With that said I would love Oher's addition to the Raiders its just not going to happen. Finally I know the last thing we need to draft is a WR, Michael Crabtree.... come on!! The Raiders need to finish paying the sorry ass wide-outs they have now and try to salvage some value from the money we lost. Sheilds, and Higgins is still young they can still develop with Jamarcus one day. Drew Carter, and Walker was a huge waste of money, and Curry should have been gone. We should have made Porter happy.... Any way, any good draft potential out there that will make the RAIDERS better faster? I will consider an O lineman but like I mentioned up top it's not going to happen, Al D is not Logical!! And being from Oakland, now we are living through the draft, I know its sad but its the truth. If the fans don't see some big college name when the Raiders pick is announced all hell will break loose, and close to no tickets will be sold that following season I guarantee it!! Like I said if I was the owner the Raiders would be in a much better position mostly because I probably wouldn't draft much in the first 2 0r 3 rounds (depending on needs, and the player or players projected to be available) for the first couple of years because those picks would be traded away for linemen and other much needed skill position players. I know of Kirk Morrison!!! I'm from Oakland and so is he, Kirk is inspiration for every male in Oakland a city that is violent and drug infested. Kirk is great and so is Howard but the RAIDERS need atleast 3 more solid LB's to run the defense they're trying to run. 3-4 Defense can make a top defense, and break a good offense. However we're kind of slim at the LB position, If we can add one more solid LB to play outside opposite Howard the days of running all over Oakland will be over. Just to make sure the D is fresh a couple of more LB's would be great to throw in, especially for those exotic blitz scheme's Ryan uses. Rob B I feel ya playa but what can I do about it?? Wrong question the, I don't even think I would get arrested in the bay area for killing AL.... I wouldn't do that though. Sunny.... We have Jamarcus why in the hell would I want to down grade?? That's like trading in a brand new Hummer Stretch for a Honda civic... Chase is accurate but the kid is like 5'9 maybe.... When Jamarcus develops he will be a top ten QB. Speaking of Chase Daniels the EAGLES need him, Mcnabb is the most fragile QB to ever play the game and Kevin Kolb was all draft hype. Good luck with Desean Jackson, if you thought T.O. was bad wait until Jackson gets mad. I met the cat a couple of times and he's arrogant.... He's from LA and had some bay in him, this is not T.O. were talkin about Jackson is hood. Marshawn was "ghost riddin" a cart on the football field at CAL just to show you what I'm talkin about.... read more
