Raiders agus 49ers decided by coin toss. Being a raiders fan myself i hope we get 6th.

Its not till April 29th and 30th but the combine is starting soon. Some excellent players there. THe infamous reggie bush, will he still be a guranteed no1 pick? WOuld you be stupid to turn him down? Saints already have a very good RB.

Honestly dont have a clue who raiders will draft. I am hoping its a QB, kerry Collins has never filled me with confidence as being a great quarterback. Any of the experts here know who the raiders are likely to draft?

Hard to pass on Bush but the Texans might buy into the whole Vince Young/Texas hype. You'd imagine the Saints will take Leinart either way, they need a QB with Brooks losing his place. Titans to take whoever's left of those three. Don;t know about the raiders, as a patriots fan i'm just hoping against hope that lendale white is somehow still around at 21

stevemac

the mock draft sites are pointing at A.J. Hawk for the raiders. Hes an OLB. With the QB, there should be a few availible that could be an improvement over collins. Kitna, McCowen, Brees should be resigned, but rivers might be availible for a trade. Most people are saying the saints will cut Brooks, but he mightn't be an improvement.

Manny7

Whichever of Brees and Rivers is available would be interesting for the raiders. Kitna's supposedly looking for a starting role so if he's given a chance of competing for that he could be an option too. I'd wouldn't go near Brooks.

thats all the availible quarterbacks.
from the list only brees (who will now probable get to free agency), Kitna , McCowen has some potential, or try get Chris Simms.

I read on some rumour page a while back that kitna could be going to the ravens.
also, ray lewis could hold out for a new contract at the start of pre-season. he's not very happy their and could even posibly be traded. he's definately worth a 1st or 2nd pick. maybe even trade him for culpepper

I like the look of Vanders Jay Cutler, strong arm, good decision making, good all rounder.....PLUS he set a new record at the Combine yesterday, 23 reps with the bar is the most ever by a QB......and the mad thing is that this part of the workout is Strictly optional for QB's

evil_seed

Is Marcus Vick this year's Maurice Clarett? Both, in my opinion are far too big for their boots. And both have had a lot of bad press previously and recently. Vick will get picked because of who his brother is.

Dodge

I don't think Vick will get near the first round. A fair few QBs ahead of him and of course there's the off the field crap

Boomer23

well he got a college career off the Vick name, so some poor schlub will offer him a contract, prob 3rd round or so, maybe somewhere like Oakland, holdout and miss training camp but still sign a decent deal and before the end of the season he will be in some sort of trouble.

i dont think he should be in the draft this year, he is an underclassman and last season was so shocking he could do with another year to sort himself out. He only has a completion average of 58.4% after last season, plus for a "rushing" QB, he only averaged 27 ypg

Manny7

Drew Brees has gone to the Saints - should they trade down now from 2nd? No point taking Leinart is there? Otherwise you end up with the whole San Diego Brees/Rivers thing. Opportunity for Jets/Raiders/Lions to go looking for a QB? I'm just glad he didn't go to Miami - i feel better with the Pats playing against Culpepper.

Boomer23

The Saints are a better fit for him, very offensive coach, good RB in McAllister and a top deep threat in Joe Horn, maybe if they trade down and pick up a decent Tight End then Brees will have all his weapons

Chucky, am i right in guessing that Aaron Brooks was not the answer to your prayers?!
