Raiders Head Coaching Search

["THE" MoSav]

I still say trade that pick for some more first round picks, try at Adrian Peterson or Calvin Johnson and take Troy Smith second round. But hey, we'll see what the new coach wants to do. The line though needs some help. Who knows, but rebuild that offense. As long as Rob Ryan is in charge of that young D, we are still in business.

i agree, but i still think they are taking Russell

Come on Al, this is a man that does some strange things. The only "safe" pick I've ever seen him do was Charles Woodson in 1998, and since Woodson was a corner, you had to expect that. I mean come on Al, do something crazy, this is a man that has taken a kicker (Janikowski 2000, Ray Guy 1973), many corners and safties, a few linemen (Stinchcomb, Gallery) amd even a tight end (Dudley) in the first round. Lets go through the QBs the Raiders have drafted:  Roman Gabriel, 1962 (who signed with the Rams and went to have a Hall of Fame career) Eldridge Dickey, 1968 (bust); Marc Wilson, 1980 (bust); Todd Marinovich, 1991 (need I say more).

I wouldn't say joke, but drafting is not his main thing. Maybe that's why he hired Lane Kiffin. Gruden was a beast drafting for the Raiders in the late 90's, early 2000's, that mixed with the vets Al liked, you had some really good teams. Maybe he'll let Kiffin handle the draft. He did stress Kiffin recruiting at the conference, so I'm assuming in this rebuilding stage (thank God Al's rebuilding istead of adding on. The Raiders have been adding on since hiring Norv Turner, Collins was an add on, Sapp, Moss, it's time to destroy and rebuild) and that means some years with high draft picks, Kiffin can get his young players, and the Raiders are looking to the future. Al though, LEAVE THE DRAFT ALLONE! And I'm still not sold on Russell. I like Smith more, even though his shorter. Russell is the better athlete, but is unchallenged, and never had a great college career. TRADE THE PICK!!! AL HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!
