Raiders draft picks.
- Thread starter RAS 925
- Start date
it depends when russell starts cause cutler didnt start til half way into the season. Wow tony you seem mantally challenged thinkin denver wont do better then the raiders next year they got two hella good CB a good RB i dont think they lost to many players from last year so they should be a solid team this year
here are the rest of the afc west grades from Kiper
Kansas City Chiefs: GRADE: C
Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is a good player, and he filled a need for the Chiefs. Kansas City used its next two picks on defensive tackles: Turk McBride is versatile, and Tank Tyler needs to build on his strong senior season. Kolby Smith is a serviceable running back; Justin Medlock is a good place-kicker, but I would have taken Mason Crosby.
Oakland Raiders: GRADE C+
JaMarcus Russell was a no-brainer because he has the chance to be a franchise quarterback. The Raiders have been trying for years to draft a tight end, and they took Zach Miller in the second round. Defensive end Quentin Moses had a first-round grade entering 2006, but he had an average senior season. Personally, I would have taken Moses' teammate Charles Johnson, but Moses does have talent. Left tackle Mario Henderson has tremendous physical ability but needs to put it all together on the field. I really like the picks of Johnnie Lee Higgins and running back Michael Bush. Higgins has very good hands as a wide receiver and also will help out in the return game. As for Bush, if he's healthy, the Raiders got a first-round pick in the fourth round. Jay Richardson was an average defensive end at Ohio State; safety Eric Frampton was a solid fifth-round pick out of Washington State; and Orenthal O'Neal is a good lead blocker for a fullback.
San Diego Chargers: GRADE: C
Wide receiver Craig Davis was a slight reach in the first round, but he does fill a major need. The Chargers also gave up a lot to get safety Eric Weddle in the second round; however, like Davis, Weddle fills a major need and was one of smarter and more versatile players in the draft. Anthony Waters is coming off a torn ACL, so if he can play like he did in 2005, he would be a good value pick. Tight end Scott Chandler is a good pass catcher but a marginal blocker, and WR Legedu Naanee has long-range potential.

Naaa buddy I am not mentally challenged. The Broncos have a good qb and a good wr and that's it on offense... The Broncos ain't all that. It ain't like they're the Partiots. The Raiders are taking over the AFC West. San Diego will place 2nd (wild card), the Broncos 3rd, and the booty Chiefs dead last.
thats it on offense?
so tarvis Henry sucks, having mike beell as a BACK-UP...sucks, how about Rod smith as a #3 or even #4? Graham to be a great blocking te and short yardage threat while Scheffler stretches the field after having som great reps with cutler???
wow!
and you're right it aint like we're the patriots...I mean we only beat them all the time!
It doesnt matter what anybody says. I will guarantee the raiders win at least 8 this year if no major starter is injured. If they dont I will never return to this site or at least the sports forum. They had one of the best drafts in recent years. Im just glad its finnally over and we know who we have know. The niners had a pretty good draft too. A sure contender for the playoffs next year.
what tha hell does LJ wantin a new contract have anything to do with why tha Raiders have been tha Chiefs bitch tha last 5 years? Let alone tha rest of tha NFL? Beatin a team 8 times in a row, let alone by a rival should definately concern any fan of that team chief. Funny thing is this...yes Roaf and Shields retired on us, we still have a better oline than you guys...lol THAT should concern you...did you guys get any OLineman in tha draft to help that pathetic front out?
Aint noway you guys are ended that streak this year!
Aint noway you guys are ended that streak this year!
LOL
I feel your pain....losing to us for solong in about a 20 year period would do that to someone....Chiefs vs. Raiders since 1989 = Chiefs 28 Wins Raiders 9 Wins.
Raiders were our bitch in tha 90's and continue to be our bitch in tha new millinium...so basically ever since you've probably been born your beloved Raiders have been KC's bitch!
10 in a row after this season!
