I feel you... although all along I've personally been sayin they should draft for the O-Line and pick up a WR in FA

but either way it goes down we need to fill both spots

I'd like to see em go after Boldin... he def don't wanna go back to the Cards now... money talks... open up your wallet Al!

also TJ Whosyamama is gonna be out there...

I dunno... if we can't pick up a good WR in FA... I say draft one... granted that we can get a good one at that spot...

TAY^^^^^Man we need a lineman to replace Kwamme Harris.....If we get a reciver than we will need protection to get him the ball.......Russell needs hella time with his irratic passes, overthrows and the rest...........We need some line help......Your right about vick though......that would throw teams off if he was just on he field it dosent even matter what positiion he play.......I like Macklin myself........But i dont know about his reciving skills...He's a beast returning those kicks though......Hiccs is nice 2....and they have a reciver from cal poly that was in a skills competition not to long ago and he looks good 2.....

There gonna dump a grip of players....
But I say o-line for our first pick in the draft for the fact it helps both passing and the running game then we should try to get boldin

Dumping alot of players wont help all that much, u still take cap hits, and alot of bonuses were paid up front, i doubt al davis and his supporters have alot of money to dish out for more bonuses

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE DAVIS' ABILITY TO MANIPUALTE THE CAP AND ALLOCATE FUNDS WHEN NEEDED.

I think we need some offensive linemen. I was all for "skilled" position players in past drafts... but when defenses blitz the Raiders, JaMarcus doesn't have time to go his hot reads. It's like they're already in the backfield as soon as the ball is snapped. We need a serious upgrade at the tackle spot. Henderson didn't play bad when he replaced Harris but Green can be replaced. I would probably go with an offensive lineman for our first round draft pick... or D-line so we could stop the run.

o-line and rbs make the easiest transition in football.....even tho its easy to blame because of gallery (who knows what he could do on another team)....

o-line has the best solid pick to bust ratio for the first round...easy

Theres been rookie OT's taken in the first round the past couple years that have done great so I dont agree with your theory that linemen aren't gonna help the team team right away. I also strongly disagree with your statement about "A LINEMAN WILL NOT HELP SCORE POINTS". A linemen may not be the actual player scoring the points but they definetley are helping by opening up holes for RB's to take it to the house and giving the QB time to throw the ball down field. If you can't recognize that you shouldn't even be talkin football. WR is a top need no doubt but we all saw how affective a good WR is with a bad o-line(Moss in Oakland). The Raiders offense will not be where it needs to be until the O-line gets fixed, been saying that for years and still hasn't happened...doesn't matter who we have at WR.

get Russell some god damn pass protection! Shit, that cannon of an arm don't fuckin matter if he aint got time to throw it. Soon as we get some pass protection it won't be long before we are relevant again.
