I hope Mckown doesn't turn out to be another Kerry Collins.

McCown is nothing like Collins. Collins is a pocket passer who can't move whereas McCown is a much more athletic QB who actually played a little WR last season.

Thats good, I never got the chase to watch Mckown in action. So I'll be interested to see what he can do.I'm tired of these pockett passers who get sacked all the time. I'm just glad we didn't sign Bledsoe, THANK YOU AL!!!

Only thing missing from that draft is a DE.

I don't think DE is that big of a need. Burgess is good and and the combo of Richardson/Clemons has been solid. It also depends on whether or not we resign Kelly who we were using at DE for most of the year before he got hurt. Stopping the run was our biggest problem and DE doesn't really address that. IMO DT and a big hitting S are bigger needs on defense.

Hopefully there will be some trades including Jordan or Rhodes or Sands. It would be tough only having 5 picks. We'll probably get a pick for losing Langston Walker since he got a massive contract.

richardson/clemons is good for now but we need a long-term answer at the position and what better year to go after a DE or DT then this year. also burgess isnt getting any younger.

I think the perfect first round scenario would be to trade out of the spot with someone in the middle of the pack and get more picks... Maybe a trade with Carolina who would jump Baltimore for a chance at the #1 rated QB should they show interest? That would put us into the 13-17 range where I think we could get a #1 WR in Malcolm Kelly. I think having a big target for Jamarcus is a wise investment. Let's be honest here too, Porter is gone next year and how many more passes can we watch Curry drop? I think we may need to pick up a sure-handed vet and draft Malcolm Kelly to put Curry back in the slot where he's servicable. Another guy I like for the later rounds to plug the SLB spot is Spencer Larson, I went to a lot of UofA games this year and I really like this kid, he's not blazing fast but he makes tackles, and we need that with this awful run D.

As much as people dont like Stu if we had a big NT and a good SLB hed look alot better.THe fact that hes having to tackle RBs constantly shows our problem with the DLine and LBs.

3rd or 4th Pick
We will officially either have the 3rd or 4th pick according to
http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09...o&confirm=true
If we can get the 3rd pick, it would be hard for Al Davis to pass on McFadden even though there greater needs for the Raiders.

McFadden, Dorsey, C. Long, Ellis. As long as one of them ends up a Raider, I'm happy.

I think the physicals that dorsey ends up taking will be a big factor. If he is 100% healthy and they dont see long term affects, i would take dorsey, but if not than definately ellis. I really don't see ellis as being behing dorsey by that much and both would be fantastic for you.

Yes, Dorseys injury concerns are too large to overlook at this point when you have a guy I believe is just as good if not better in Ellis so why take the risk.

One of them HAS to end up as a Raider, unless Al Davis makes a dumb pick. Which, I wouldnt put out of the question.
All right. I am making a mock and I had pencilled in McFadden for you guys at pick 3. Who would you want now that the Sr. Bowl is done? McFadden or Ellis?

Al won't pass on him "If" he's there. He drafted JR, and he wants a good threat to go along with him. I wouldn't mind DMC but I'd really like to adress the DT postion right away. If Dorsey is there I'd take him hands down with no questions.

It will be interesting to see how things play out and who truly now holds control over personnel decisions though we know it is still most likely Al. Whether its Ellis, Dorsey or McFadden I wouldnt have much of a problem either way. All have proven to be elite prospects thus far and for the most part should be safe picks at our position.

Knowing Al he'll easy screw up the pick or trade done. Is there anyway we could trade for a third since we do not have on.
