Who will the Raiders get in the NFL Draft (1st Pick)?
462443
Let's assume that the draft goes as expected, and the first six picks are Reggie Bush, Mario Williams, Matt Leinart, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, A.J. Hawk and Vernon Davis.  Now - that would leave Vince Young, Michael Huff, Haloti Ngata, Winston Justice and Jay Cutler on the board as the most likely possible picks.  The Raiders don't need an OT, so Justice is out.  I think Young has graded out better than Cutler, so Cutler's out.  I think Huff would make the most sense, but let's be honest - Al Davis isn't going to be logical here.  Vince Young has way too much potential, and is the kind of athlete that David loves.  So, even though they just signed Aaron Brooks, and drafted Andrew Walter in the third round last year, I think the Raiders will pick Vince Young with the 7th pick in the first round.

I think he will give them a much better shot to win games, and I think the Raiders will win some games that surprise you....and it may start this week against the Chiefs.\n\nFor more on the Raiders, Chiefs, and the NFL......check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

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 think Shaun Alexander will be the first pick, so I think that the second pick should definitely be Larry Johnson.

Well Obviously ALL these people havn't been paying attention to anything thats been going on with the Raiders. So why don't you let someone that knows their head from there (you know what) Give you a Real Answer!!!!\n\n#1 I'll tell you whats wrong with all the other answers first. Cause its always easy to pick apart other peoples crappy answers.\n\n1st Answer= They are not way over the cap!!! Ever team had to be under the Cap by Midnight a few days ago. \n2nd Answer=Well they said it best "jumble" thats about it.\n3rd Answer=Well I like this Answer but its not complete. \n............... CJAB01 Good Answer!!!\n4th Answer= Started out alright but fell apart in a hurry. Rest of the team a disaster? LOL I dont' think so. Plus Woodsen is already gone!! So is Gibson,Stone, and a few others. You really think Jay Cutler is going to drop to 7th!!! Wow apparently you havn't seen a mock draft yet. But I'll move on anyways.\nAnswer 5+6= 5 nice comment 6 even better \nLOL Answer 7= started out nice but after the but it got sickning!!!!!!! Reason #1 he says it will not land them a much needed QB, well the current Mock Draft has Oakland drafting Vince Young!!!! So that reason totally sucked!!!\nReason 2, He says al davis is a great coach!!! He's the frikin OWNER OF THE TEAM!!!!! Reason 3 he got right though.\nToughest division, well he said second but its the toughest. Only one team had a harder opp winning % then the Raiders did last year. That was San Diego with .559\nWell the next answer the guy is a complete idiot. He answers all his questions just like that one. I followed him around a bit. And the last answer is pretty darn Good. Way to go. Now I'll give mine, even though I've shed some light already.\n\nWhats my opinion of the Oakland Raiders?\n\nWell first of all you have to be more afraid of their fans now adays then their players. Oakland has the Rowdiest Fans in the NFL. No other team has the famous BLACK HOLE!!!\n\nBefore the 90's they had the Highest Winning Percentage in the NFL and were the only team to win a Super Bowl in 3 decades in a row 60's 70's 80's. They almost had another one but was betrayed by Jon Gruden and beat by a team that was in their huddle all game.\n\nThey've done what all the fans have been asking for this year. They've dropped Norv Turner. They've Gotten rid of Charles Woodson, Derrick Gibson, and most of, well this dang NFL meeting crap is holding it off but Most likely they'll be rid of Kerry Collins who is to make 9.2 mil this year. \n\nAnother (+) is they hired Hall of Famer Art Shell and a vast array of coaches who might be able to get the job done. Its time to get back to the OLD SCHOOL for the Raiders and hopefully they'll get nasty this year!!!\n\nI've also heard it won't hurt to let Andrew Walter get the nod this year and see what he can do. But if Vince Young falls to 7th like expected, they'll Have to draft him and Collins will forsurely hit the door. \n\nOkay so the labor deal has been met. Good but we will have to play the "What IF" Game. As a sports writer wrote. Until the draft and free agency is over we don't know how the team will round out. Drew Brees would be a great pickup.\n\nBut overall I expect this year to be alot better year. Once sports writer said don't be suprised if Oakland wins 9 or 10 games this year. They have an easier Home schedule for once after being screwed year after year. So I think we might finally see a winning season. This last 3 year run has been the longest since Al Davis has been running the show. So this is the year. Randy Moss hopefully will be healthy. Last year he was second to terrell owens before he was injured. So a healthy Moss along side Jerry Porter should bold well. I hear they will go back to a Running game finally and Lamont Jordan won't fall off the map toward the end of the season again. In Salary Cap he started out at something li

The best pick for the Raiders would be A.J. Hawk, but it's unlikely he will fall down to the 7th pick. If the Raiders get stuck on the idea of building up their defence then another option would be to pick Chad Greenway of Iowa. He was a fantastic outside linebacker in the Big Ten who specialized in the art of run stopping (113 tackles as a Junior.)

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.

Yes, they will and since Al Davis doesn't like drafting QBs early on, he'll pass on the best QB prospect since Palmer (according to draft expert Scott Wright who's excellent).  Joe Thomas would be the best bet but I'm going with Calvin, if he declares.

i can tell you that Tye Hill from Clemson is a wasted pick.  He is 5' 8" and is fast as hell, but he can't mark an NFL WR.  bad pick if you ask me....

RAIDERS AND PATRIOTS!

It will go like this:\n\n1.) Texans- Reggie Bush (RB USC)\n2.) Saints- Mario Williams (DE NC ST)\n3.) Titans- Vince Young (QB Texas)\n4.) Jets- D'Brickashaw Ferguson (OL Virginia)\n5.) Packers- AJ Hawk (OLB Ohio St.)\n6.) 49ers- Vernon Davis (TE Maryland)\n7.) Raiders- Matt Leinart (QB USC)\n8.) Bills- Broderick Bunkley (DT Fla. st.)\n9.) Lions- Michael Huff (S Texas)\n10.) Cardinals- Jay Cutler (QB Vandy)\n\nTo me Jay Cutler is the most overrated play in the entire draft. Workouts dont mean everything. He won 11 games in 2 years at Vanderbilt. To me, if he were so great they would have won more games. I think that the steal of the draft will be Jimmy Williams (CB Virginia Tech). He is so fast and such a great cover corner that he will be able to shut down recievers with his speed and leaping ability. Kind of like another VT CB who has done pretty well for himself in the NFL...Pro Bowler from the Atlanta Falcons DeAngelo Hall.

i dont think theyll pick up reggie bush for walker, if so, that would be the biggest screw up any team would make on draft day.  i think they may get stallworth and a second rounder for walker.  which would be a good thing for the pack, walker is a clown and he doesnt really want to play in greenbay

It may take a few more drafts before they become good, but you are right, a RB (maybe Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson) would be the logical choice this upcoming draft. Give Frye another year. Brady Quinn will go to the Lions or Raiders who will likely pick before the Browns, so I don't think they will even get the chance to draft him. And Troy Smith is not worth a high draft pick as his future as a QB will be short. He would be a better WR.

Raiders -  YES -  QB  Arron Brooks  WR  Randy Moss and more.\n\nEagles -  NO

I'd say Reggie. I feel like Young is going to get injured if he runs frequently. I like Vince Young really, but I think it's going to be Bush that gets the 1st overall pick.

1st pick:Houston:OL D'Brickashaw Ferguson.Houston NEEDS an offensive lineman.D. Davis and Carr have potential. But they need protection.\n\n2nd pick:New Orleans:QB Matt Leinart.Brooks is still fumbling,and Vince Young is leaning towards skipping the draft according to ESPN.com.\n\n3rd pick:Tennessee:RB Reggie Bush.Tennessee has no good RB, and Reggie won't stand not being in the top 3.\n\n4th pick:New York Jets:QB Jay Cutler.LT almost threw as much TD passes as all of the Jets QB's.And as I said,Young is leaning towards skipping the draft.Plus, Chad Pennington is injury prone.\n\n5th pick:Green Bay:RB DeAngelo Williams.Ahman Green will tutor him to be better than the master.Ahman had too bad of an "off" season.\n\n6th pick:Oakland:DB Michael Huff.Everyone knows Oakland has one of the best QB to WR combos. They just need a defense. They only had 5 INT's, worst in the regular season.\n\n7th pick:San Francisco:DE Mario Williams.San Fran will have to stop the run. Mario is one of the best DE's in the draft.\n\n8th pick:Buffalo:DE Tamba Hali.Another team that needs to stop the run.At the beginning of the season, they were the worst run defense.\n\n9th pick:Arizona:OT Marcus McNeill.Detroit trades for Josh McCown.And with Warner,an O-Line is all they need......On the defensive side.\n\n10th pick:Arizona:OLB A.J. Hawk.And there is part of the defense. Another team that needs a DB also.\n\nThere is your top ten from me.
