5. Arizona - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
6. Washington - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
7. Minnesota - Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
8. Atlanta - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
9. Detroit (Trade with Miami) - Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss

I would, but I don't follow College ball enough to guess on what players would be best for which systems. I would end up just regurgitating someone else's mock draft.

I do know that Oakland will be crazy to take a WR. They need a QB. With a strong WR corps this season they had no-one to get them the ball.

And Detroit will be happy to trade down, but I can't see any team that desperately needs a specific player enough to trade up with them.

Calvin Johnson is this year's Reggie Bush. He's a once in a decade player. With the poor effort Moss has been showing lately and Jerry Porter's issues with management, this is a good pick. The QB class this year is very strong and there should be some good young players available in the later rounds (i.e. Drew Stanton).

There will also probably be some veteran QBs released before they're due roster bonuses (i.e. Culpepper, Green, Griese, McCown) that the Raiders could use while they develop a young QB.

Plus a duo of Moss/Johnson would rival Boldin/Fitzgerald as the best in the league.

If that is the case. We will see if the Raiders are as stupid as the Texans. I think they are, but I am admitedly biased.

I have the same bias, the Raiders are stupid. I think they take Russel and he is a bust, he has a small weight problem now when he is young and broke ... that problem won't get any better.

Their 31 year old HC will learn the difference between college ball and pro ball, well ... sorta. Raiders ball isn't exactly pro ball, but still different than college.

I know but I can see us trading up to try and get him.

rubecube · 04-27-2007, 07:25 PM

Raiders are shopping Randy Moss around. I think this organization would be downright foolish to pass on CJ.
