ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE HAS BEEN LOOKIN DOWN AT THE RAIDERS WITH OUR SITUATION THIS YEAR WITH COLLINS, OFFENSE LINE AND OUR DEFENSE.
BUT THESE PROBLEMS LOOK VERY FIXABLE THIS YEAR. WE HAVE AN ABILITY TO SOLVE EVERY SITUATION  EITHER THROUGH THE FREE AGENT MARKET OR THE DRAFT. THE AMOUNT OF OPTIONS AT LINE BACKER AND QB ARE PLENTYFULL. THE OFFENSIVE LINE CAN ALSO QUICKLY BE UPGRADED BY PICKING UP A FEW FREE AGENTS.

IF THE DRAFT LOOKS UGLY TO YOU NOW JUST THINK THAT THE WORST OPTION MIGHT BE HUFF/DAVIS WITH THE BEST OPTION BEING HAWK, WILLIAMS, YOUNG, OR BRICK. NOW ANYONE OF THOSE PLAYERS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE TEAM.

NO MATTER WHAT THE RAIDERS STILL COULD SIGN BIG NAME LB WITHERSPOON, PETERSON, AYODELE, OR ARRINGTON. THE DE POSITION HAS OPERTUNITYS AS WELL WITH THE JETS TRING TO TRADE ABRAHAM, PLUS ROBERT MATHIS AND CARLOS HALL.

THE SAFTEY POSITION HAS GREAT OPTIONS AS WELL, MILLOY ARCHULETA, MCREE, HOPE, CHAVOUS, BASHIR, SCHULTERS, AND TANK WILLIAMS

WITH THE DRAFT USUALLY FIELDING THE TOP 3 ROUNDS SPOTS WITH PLAYER YOU COULD START IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT WOULD BE 3 NEW STARTERS THAT ALONE COULD BOOST OUR DEFENSE OF COURSE DEPENDING ON WHO WE AQUIRE.

WE HAVE TONS OF NEEDS AND WANTS BUT THE FACT REMAINS THIS DRAFT SEEMS TO BE RICH FULL OF IMPACT STARTERS IN THE TOP 6 SPOTS. IF CUTLER AND YOUNG TAKE UP 2 TOP 6 SPOTS THEN WE HAVE A CHANCE LAND ONE OF THE THREE PLAYERS I FEEL COULD HELP PUT US BACK WHERE WE NEED TO BE. (BRICK, MARIO, AJ) IN THE SECOND ROUND WE COULD POTENTIALY CLEAN UP PICKING UP THE BEST PLAYER AVAIL. OR TAKING A NEEDED STARTING POSITION. 

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS US TRADE COLLINS AND AQUIRE CULPEPPER SOME HOW, SOME WAY.
IF WE LAND VINCE YOUNG AND COULD DO NO BETTER I WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT IF WE ALREADY HAD PEPPER (THINK THE CHARGERS WITH BREES AND RIVERS)  OTHERWISE I REALLY AM UNSURE HOW YOUNG WINNING THE ROSE BOWL WIN HELP US WIN THE WEST. HE HAS BAD THROWING MECANICS AND  HAS TOLD EVERYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN THAT HE DOESNT WANT HIS THROWING MECANICS CHANGED. A MOBILE QB IS HELPFUL BUT DOES NOT WIN GAMES ALONE. YOU NEED TO THROW THE BALL ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE RECEIVERS LIKE PORTER AND MOSS.

OF COURSE YOU COULD MAKE AN ARGUMENT AGAINST MOST PLAYERS IN THE DRAFT. EVEN THE SUPPOSED #1 PICK HAS "SIZE ISSUES", BUT THE PLAYERS IN THIS YEARS DRAFT COMPARED TO OTHER YEARS IS FULL OF STUDS JUST FOAMING AT THE MOUTH TO HIT SOMEONE.
