I'm still trying to make sense of the #7 pick. Any idea if they had any offers to trade down?

jerrymac - From what Cable said, they didn't want to take the chance they'd lose Heyward-Bey by trading down and even considered trading up. Really.

HOW DO U FEEL ABOUT FRANTZ JOSEPH?

jerrymac - Undrafted free agent, and as such will be hoping to make the team as a special teams player but is certainly no lock to do so. I realize people like to think of the best possible scenarios, but the reality is most undrafted players were not drafted for a reason.

A lot of us Raider fans are scratching our heads after this weekend. For me, it's mostly because I think they could have drafted both the top two players they got much later and traded down, got more picks in the process. Any insight on that?

1:01	jerrymac - That's my feeling and the main problem with their draft. I don't pretend to be a talent scout. Heyward-Bey was going to be a first-round pick, and the way the Raiders are getting trashed, you'd think they took a seventh-FA pick at NO. 7.

1:01	[Comment From Jim (NYC)] Are the Raiders really going into next season with one veteran WR (Walker), who is anything but reliable, to go with Murphy, DHB, JLH, Schillins, and Arman Shields? Seems a little risky when you have such a young QB
