I don't know college players at all, but I do know the Raiders need a lot of needs. So, who do you think they'll pick up in the first round or you can predict every round.\n\nI believe our biggest need is definitely on defense. Of course the Raiders offensive line didn't hold up well last year which surprised me---although a lot of injuries on the 'O'. Aaron Brooks is going to be a better fit for the Raiders than the media claims. That's why i'm asking ya'll this question because you know how the media is with our team.\n\nI feel this is the top three areas of concern right now if the Raiders signed no more or lost no more players;\n\n1. Linebacker (Outside,middle or inside)\n\n2. Safety (We haven't had a great safety in years & years--of course Rod Woodson converted did an excellent job)\n\n3. Kicker ( I in no way whatsoever want Al to select a 1st round pick on a kicker, but it's time to admit that SeaBass is no good-- The Raiders screwed up totally by letting Joe Nedney go for S.J.)

Raiders re-signed ( S ) Jarrod Cooper --- A special teams standout, Cooper will get a chance to play strong safety because safety Renaldo Hill went to Dolphins.\n\nSling Shot--- arm Aaron Brooks off course we all no this which at first they was looking at Joey Harrington but took Brooks over him good choice.\n\nDont A.J Hank looks like a Raider wishfull thinking on my part another dream is since Seahanks is stalling on getting another contact signed with Mike Holmgren he just my be up for grabs because since he is not GM anymore they dont what to pay him his 7 million contact and is entering his last year fire AL and hire a Super Bowl Coach but like i said thats just a dream but let me come back to reality.\n\n Defense = CB Ryans from Alabama or CB Jimmy Williams from Virginia Tech  both are projected to be in the top 10 on draft day April 29 \n\nGood Linebacker = D'Qwell Jackson -- Maryland\n\nIf the offensive line gives Brooks protection he will pick apart any team we play. Some good drafts choices and the Raiders our headed this year to the playoffs i predict and may have to give myself a good kick in the rear. If the Raiders are not all the back their close.*\n\nBest kicker all i know is his nick name is, Money cause thats what he worth to me dont know his full name he was the best kicker in the NCAA last year played for Alabama

If soon doesn't mean within the next 2 years then you can make an arument for just about any team: "Within the next 3-5 years, Team X will be something to watch". When you're inviting MARCUS VICK to your mini-camp, you're smelling a little desperate. Daunte Culpepper must prove himself without Randy Moss or Nate Burleson, and Chambers and Booker ain't no Moss/Burleson. Ronnie Brown will get his chance, but he had as many fumbles lost as TD's last year. Hopefully he ain't been hanging with Ricky in the offseason. O-line is a little sketchy, Secondary has LOTS of question marks, so...a lot of ifs. Then again, it seems lots of teams turn ifs into positives these days. But I would expect the team to take a step back this season while Saban gets more players under his system and shakes the rest out...There are LOTS more teams with LOTS more potential for the near future than Miami though.

Culpepper was acquired but it's unclear how long before he recovers from last season's injury...they picked up Joey Harrington who is happy about the strict coaching staff and the system - he'll probably start the season if Daunte can't go.  Ricky Williams is suspended for the year so Ronnie Brown will have to carry the load...we'll see if he can.  \nThey had a decent offseason with some mediocre free agents signed and a lot of fairly solid rookies in the draft (Derrick Hagen, Roderique Wright, Jason Allen) so the future looks good.  The biggest concern should be the age of a lot of the starters especially on defense.  \n\nOverall, the team probably won't live up to hyped expectations due to:\n1.  Neither QB will have much time do develop timing with the WRs.\n2.  To old on defense.\n3.  The loss of Ricky Williams is huge since they only have Travis Minor backing up.\n4.  The fact the AFC east teams all play the AFC South (Indy, Jax, Tenn and Houston) won't make life very easy.  Indy and Jax are playoff teams and Tenn. and Houston will be far better this year with players returning from IR.\n\nThey finish second in the division after the Pats and miss the playoffs.

Tough question...\n\nFarve being back, and knowing Farve as we all do, he'll give it his all. But it takes two to complete a reception.\n\nRB situation doesn't look too promising, but after all the ups and downs of last season who knows?\n\nD# needs to seriously tighten the ole belt, but it helps if your offence doesn't put you in a terrible spot.\n\nLast year, the offense self distructed with injuries and they STILL managed to come close to winning several games. But this isn't horseshoes OR handgrenades.\n\nAfter last year's terrible luck, I'm bumping them back up in the end of year rankings for 07, unless that turns into a streak. Then I'm writing another "Maybe Next Year" wish list to the fat man in red and white.\n\nSuperbowl? Nu-uh. Play-offs? Unlikely. This is a rebuilding year regardless of who is back and until Farve retires and a successor is found (Note: Not just a starter but a GOOD QB, so who knows how long.) don't hold your breath waiting to see that silver football in the hands of someone in green and gold.\n\nBut I wouldn't be shocked if they had a winning season either. That is what I love about the Packers. Unpredictable.\n\nDon't feel bad. I'm a KC fan first and foremost. HERM EDWARDS!? Bah humbug!

It's getting very interesting here in Alabama.  The rumors are running rampant.  I would love to have Spurrier or Saban.  Supposedly, they have not spoken to anybody, but, I find that hard to believe.  I think we will have an announcement by Friday.  Or at least I hope it will not go on longer than that.

1) If you want to drop one for another skill position go ahead.  You have two pretty good kickers and they are usually a little easier to come by.\n\n2) Atlanata added DE John Abraham from the Jets this offseason and S Lawyer Milloy both great pickups for an already good defence.  You might wanna put that Seattle defence on the pine for awhile.\n\n3) Rod Smith should become the #2 receiver behind Javon Walker so his numbers will probly go down to the level of an inconsistent Jerry Porter.  You can platoon but i don't think you will be happy with the production or lack of.  Holt and Fitzgerald are absolutely solid though so I wouldn't worry too much.\n\n4) Both of these running backs are looking to go nowhere but up in Fantasy production.  Reuben Droughens had a good year last year and is surrounded by a better team and Foster will get the bulk of the carries and should have his breakout year if he can stay healthy.\n\n5)  If you want to I would go for Pollard out of that list just because of the addition of Mike Martz to detroits formely lack luster offense.\n\nHope this helps.

Bush will still be the number one pick.\nYoung should be picked ahead of Leinart and will both be in the top 15 at least. It all depends on what moves are made before the draft and if Young comes out. Alot of teams need defensive help and offensive help. As for White, he will be a first round pick. He put up decent numbers behing the future number one pick. Doesn't that remind you of last year when the backup was drafted ahead of the starter in last years draft? lol.  He has alot of talent and teams are looking for bruising running backs. THey realize that having a thunder and lightning combo works best. At worst, he will be a early second round pick. Im not real sure on the WRs. I havent looked at who was declaring or are seniors. But in all honesty, it depends on what the team needs and what moves are made before the draft.

Losman, easily. C'mon Kelly, you can admit it, you're trying to garner fan support by posting on Yahoo! Answers!\n\nBut why Losman? Doesn't he suck? Maybe. But one thing is certain....our offensive line couldn't pass-block a pee-wee team for more than 2 and a half seconds. It's why they haven't been trying to throw much, and, yes, Dick Jauron stated that. They've also been telling him NOT to run, to make him learn how to sit and the pocket and read the field, but Jauron stated this week that they're going to let him loose.\n\nHolcomb....not only is he going to retire in a few years, he'd probably leave the field on a cart after half a quarter behind our oline. He has NEVER proven to have anything approaching durability and has never proven to be anything but a good back-up. Nall? Green Bay was so high on him they tried to draft Losman and then settled for Rodgers the year after.\n\nIn any case, Losman should definitely be starter....and he should probably be starting next year too, with a big #2 wide receiver and some linemen fresh from the draft. If he can't succeed in that enviroment....then we look for another answer at quarterback. It just doesn't make sense to me to keep changing engines when your boat's full of holes...

I am doing this as a 12 team mock draft, drafting 6, then 7, then 6 again. 16 rounds.\nRound 1- Edgerin James- need an RB here and is best available.\nRound 2- Julius Jones- 2 stud RBs are important and was impressed the past 2 years.\nRound 3- Anquan Boldin- a good WR to start out with.\nRound 4- Santana Moss- If he's left here, he's a must have.\nRound 5- Eli Manning- I have a good feeling about it.\nRound 6- Laurence Marooney- Need a backup RB and he has a good chance of being the starter by the end of the year.\nRound 7- Curtis Martin- Is going to be starter and there's no QB to compete with for yardage.\nRound 8- L.J. Smith- Still no WR at Phily, so going to get yardage\nRound 9- Tampa Bay Defense- need a Defense and is the best after Chicago\nRound 10- Sinorice Moss- I have a good feeling about him\nRound 11- Travis Henry- The Tennesee RB situation isn't clear, so has a good chance to play a lot.\nRound 12- Reggie Williams- has a good chance to be #1 reciever in Jacksonville.\nRound 13- Mike Vanderjadt- still a good kicker even without the highscoring Colts.\nRound 14- Philip Rivers- Has a good chance to do well now that Brees is gone.\nRound 15- Najeh Davenport- did well last year and has good chance to play a lot.\nRound 16- Jacksonville Defense- might as well get a good backup defense.

I think they'll keep Roeder.  Combined with Shearer on the sidelines.  Roeder has done a good job with what he inherited.  Question will be what kind of talent can they bring in, and how in the hell do you keep Owen fit to play?  He is an injury nightmare!

As surprising as it sound, I would go with LJ, Hasselbeck, and Branch and here's my reason why:\n\n1) Bulger has been great this season; MVP candidate to be in fact. However, I really don't like his durability because he has been injured in the past and I fear that injuries might hit him again, but as long as he stays healthy, he'll do fine. Ward is a great reciever and with Rothseliberger playing well again, Ward has been a recipeint of that success; but what if B-Roth slumps again? If that happens, then Ward is basically useless in the passing game. "Fast" Willie Parker is emerging as one of the best backs around, but he's not going to run 200 yards every game. The offense is built around the running game and that benefits Parker. However, without a solid veteran like Bettis to take some snaps away from him, Parker might be running out of gas if he doesn't get some rest during games. Plus, his small stature might hurt him if he gets hurt. Jacksonville defense has been exceptional again this year, but they don't put up much defensive points up like Baltimore or Chicago, even though Baltimore gives up more points than Jax. If they give high scores and don't do much on defense, then they might be in trouble if there all around defense doesn't show or if the offense doesn't click with Garrard in center. If the offense doesn't play well, then defense will get tired.\n\n2) LJ, next to LT, is the MVP in fantasy football. What makes LJ special is that he's in the system that allows him to put big numbers. No matter who they play or what condition is in, LJ will have a great game week by week, good or bad (Just look at what happen during the last few weeks of the season for LJ when he took over for Priest Holmes last season) and can carry a fantasy team to victory by himself. Hasselbeck is injured but he has enough faith by Mike Holmgren to play when he comes back. There is a reason why Seneca Wallace is the backup and that reason could put Hasselbeck during the stretch when it counts the most. Branch is benefiting from the emergence of D-Jax and Jeremey "I got kick on the balls" Stevens, so Branch should see single coverage from defense, which leads to more passes coming to him in the near future, with either Wallace or Hasselbeck on center. I don't need to tell you how great the Chicago defense has been this season.

The following is my list of what players would be taken number 1 if that team had the number 1 pick.\n\nLions - Troy Smith (they've never had a mobile quarterback, and with Kevin Jones, Roy Williams, etc., Troy Smith is the missing peice, as long as he doesn't flop like that b1tch Joey Harrington)\n\nRaiders - Brady Quinn (Aaron Brooks is mobile enough, they really need to fix their offensive line, but a quarterback with a high football IQ would be better than a mobile one)\n\nArizona - Linebacker (sorry, I don't pay attention to coollege defensive players)\n\nSan Francisco - Calvin Johnson (another reciever to give Alex Smith better options, especially if Vernon gets healthy)\n\nMiami - Offensive Lineman (again, don't follow them either)\n\nCleveland - Calvin Johnson (Charlie Frye is going to be their man, so they will start loading up the offense for him)\n\nHouston - Mike Hart (to make up for not taking Reggie Bush last year, they still need a running back)\n\nTampa Bay - Who knows, they need everything at this point.

Looks pretty good, but agreed, put Edge in or even mike bell. Jones-Drew is decent but is sharing carries with Fred Taylor who is really coming on. Definitely get rid of oakland D.

The Eagles need to find a consistent WR in the draft. Perhaps Sinorice Moss, the younger brother of Santana Moss would help. Their defense also needs some help. I don't know what happened to them, but next year they shouldn't be all that bad. As for McNabb, I'm sick of all this pressure being thrown on him by both Owens and the media. As long as he stays healthy, the Eagles could be a threat--provided Andy Reid keeps the offense balanced. As for Owens, good luck finding a new team.

Now just because I'm from Alabama does not mean this makes my judgment unclear i think he his better than Jay Cutler which really won about 14 games his career and that was his last year mostly i think Tarvaris Jackson should go in the 3 rd round i would like for the Oakland Raiders to pick him up.\n\nI don't know much about Bruce Eugene QB I'm thinking you talking about the late Eddie Robinsons team I'm sorry i did not see it was a two part question but if it is. I believe i wacth more Eddie Robinson football games than anybody in my life growing up and tell you the truth i cannot remember to many times they ever lost.

Honestly, they didn't have anyone before.\n\nAnd for the Raiders, I can't wait to see Vince Young in Silver and Black.  Get used to these words, "Young to Moss".

"another position i think they need help in is the DL, especially in the middle. They need a big man to stuff the run "\n\nthis person is clearly a moron.\n\ndont you know who vince wilfork is? wow you must feel stupid know huh?\n\n\nanyways the patriots will look for wide out's and linebackers in the draft
