DrDawkinstein Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 so what happens when the Raiders pick Calvin Johnson #1? would that create another QB drop? i hope not because that means that our Defensive players and RBs are going in their places. if CJ goes #1 overall, how far do Russell and Quinn fall?

silvermike Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd guess Quinn and Russell go to two of: Detroit, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Miami, Minnesota, Houston. ANd that's if someone doesn't trade up to snag him. As long as the Raiders don't take a player outside the top 11, I think we'll be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 The following teams have a big QB need that is 1 or 2 on a scale of 1-9: Oakland The following teams have a big WR need that is 1 or 2 on a scale of 1-9: Oakland (drafting 1st) Tampa Bay (drafting 4th) Minnesota (could use 2)(drafting 7th) Miami(drafting 9th) San Fran (could use 2)(drafting 11th) Tennessee(drafting 19th) Philly (could use 2)(drafting 26th) San Diego(drafting 30th) Oakland could use either (or both) Calvin and Jamarcus (not to mention an OT or 2). They are Wild Card #1. They know that there is a bigger need for WR than QB, so you'd think they take WR Calvin in RD#1. The run on WR's will help us. Look at Tennessee, Philly and San Diego to jump up, particularly Philly. They will actually help preserve the order, because they are want a high-demand WR in that slot, be it 1st, 4th, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Smith (for whatever that is worth) talked about them trading their 2nd and 4th for Matt Schaub. But i dont think Atl is looking to move him.

Astrobot Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd also be bringing in RB's if I was going to draft a new QB. A running offense would be a good way to cover for a developing pass offense. I have the Raiders taking Joe Staley in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 AFAIK, the Raider continue to talk with B'gals FA QB Anthony Wright. He was brought in last year, for concerns about Palmer being able to recover from injury. He did a heck of a job for them in pre-season. Recall Bills preseason game #2. In his tenure here, Wright impressed as a very class guy. He's probably not the Raider's long-term answer, if they sign 'em. But if they do, it could change their draft priority.
