Should the Oakland Raiders trade Jerry Porter for a higher draft pick?

No way. They need to keep their young talent. Jerry Porter is nowhere near the end of his prime. That's Jerry Rice. The Raiders need to focus on what their true team needs are. Linebackers, defensive backs and a tight end. Those are the wholes they need to fill with free agency and the draft. They should stay away from drafting a high profile QB also. Everybody seems to forget that they drafted that stud from ASU Andrew Walter in the draft last year. Give him a chance and work on other areas.

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.

Uhm, no.  Big Ben doesn't score, granted, but dang he gives you mad numbers in several other categories.  Ricky Davis picks up the slack in the scoring that Ben doesn't give you, plus some other nice numbers too.  Brad Miller doesn't even come close to Ben, and Wally's still struggling to fit in the Boston system.  I'd veto that trade or wouldn't accept it in the first place.

Will Blalock is not a good pick even if it is the last pick in the draft. I felt there were more talented players left on the board. I think they needed a post player anyway because Wallace might leave and they need some young blood there. Louis Admundson and Terrance Dials would have been better uses of that pick.

Definitely the right decision, eventhough, I am not sure that they got enough for the pick. Rudy Gay, as highly touted as he is/ was, slipped(?) all the way to 8. Maybe you should first consider that, secondly, he seems to disappear an awful lot. Lastly,  I'm not sure that Gay is going to be any better than Eddie Griffin was to the Rockets. Eventhough Shane Battier has the curse of Duke working against him by default, I think that he is a part of the newer breed of Dukies to hit the NBA,  ie, Elton Brand, Cory Maggette, etc. Battier will fill a void on the Rockets, a real shooter and he can defend. This should pay big dividends for the Rockets if T Mac and Yao can stay relatively healthy. There may be a hidden bonus in this deal also---if Houston can talk Memphis into throwing in the point guard (Lowry), they'll really help themselves. Lowry is good, very good. Houston did the right thing in trading Gay.

Yes you should trade for T.O.! With the situation going on in Arizona Larry will not get that may looks. And with T.O. he is going to be the man because Romo loves him,and always looks for him first!

Age - he's a 28 yr old back, with alot of carries.  If you pay him a bunch and he goes down, then the team doesn't have the flexibility to add another high caliber back. Prob good for Indy to roll the dice in the draft (can get great backs in late 1st or early 2nd round), and invest the cash somewhere else.

i think they should have traded down. they have a good gm and iam sure they put a lot of thought into ths pick , but i think bad teams should trade down. i really dont believe a bad team should spend first pick money on a player who might not be that good. i would have picked morrison

QB is the most needful position on the team and is time to start building for the 2007 season once Brad johnson is no longer on the team (as a starter) but the chances of getting a safe QB are slim. It is risky to try to trade up for cutler or vince young because it will require the first pick and probably one second and a third round at least for an unproben QB no GM will gamble his future on that. I consider Matt linehart to be out of reach since it will require multiple picks to adquire him and the team has some issues in other areas, and still a concer that no pick is a safe bet. (remember what happen last time someone tried to steal Ricky Williams, sorry Mike ditka but wrong decisión). I think the vikings will stand ground with their picks and adquire some of the following. For the first round probably a LB on the second round a CB and a WR if they are available and on the third round LB and a safety

he wasn't worth it. i dont think he even deserved it. the 49ers should have known they could get a qb with more potential in the next draft or out of free agency. They already had rattay, dorsey, and pickett at that moment in time and they should have let them compete for the starting job. Now they signed trent dilfer too! Braylon Edwards should have been the top pick.

Here is his Raider write up:\n\nNo. 7 RAIDERS: Now we're into John LeCarre stuff, Smiley vs. Karla, the intelligence and counter intelligence network. I call up my mole who's deep in the Raider organization. He says the club has locked the gate to him and installed guard rats to keep people out. But he says that he personally heard Al Davis utter the name of Young. Hmmm, this seems to eliminate at least one player from Raiders consideration. But since I've gotten the Raiders pick right only once in 34 years of trying, I'm not going to win anyway, so I might as well clear the QB off my list so I don't have to worry about him anymore. So armed with this cop-out, defeatist logic, I send VINCE YOUNG, QB, TEXAS, to Oakland.\n\nHere is the link to the entire mock draft:\n\nhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z/04/25/picks.explained/index.html

I have a new-found respect for the NFL for NOT drafting that hoodlum.  I thought for sure some team would draft him.  I was a proud Raider fan when they didn't draft him, even though 1) they desperately need a quarterback, 2) are known to hire criminals, 3) and certainly could have drafted him # 255 (Mr. Insignificant) and pleased a lot of stupid Jet's fans in the audience who were chanting for him to be selected.

i highly doubt that....\n\n\nright now they should focus on the free agent market and draft....keep Mcgrady and ming....and just build around them

I would probably at least consider making that trade. It sounds logical, for all the reasons you mention. I really wonder about any team that has Jeff Kent playing first at this point in the season.

They should trade it for the best offer, there is no clear number one in this draft.\nThis is the first year in a long time where there aren't any immediate impact players up at the top of the board.

Is that a real question? If so, Chargers are about 100 times better. Raiders will get a top 3 pick in the draft.

hopefully better. they have to put more talent around him wouldnt hurt....getting the young te from maryland helps, but they need a wr and a quality rb as well as a stable offensive line
