Morrison is an OLB who covers well and pursues. Oaklnad needs a head-on colision guy like Ray Lewis. I have to agree about Cable playing guys who weren't ready, like DHB.

As for Laughing at Rob, you may want to re-read the article, as you are the one looking stupid. He didn't say WR was a contender for need, he said if you polled the Raider Nation you may hear that. You may notice when stating his own thoughts on the offense he started with the o-line. My advise, learn to read before you go off. I will say, however, I agree with you that Grad was probably the best QB. I like his effort, and leadership wise he is everything JaMarcus lacks and then some.

Two spots could easily be filled in free agency. First, sign CB Dunta Robinson, second sign either Ryan Pickett or Vince Wilfolk to play a true NT. That would free up Tommy Kelly to play a true 3 Technique DT for once and it will free up Seymour and Ellis on the ends. Finally, draft Rolando McClain to play Middle Linebacker. After that, the only other thing I see needing to be done is to get a blocking full back, hopefully Oren O'Neal can come back or draft RaShawn Jackson.

Clearly Cable was sick of Ja Meatloaf early on in the season, this is not the first time a coach has had to play an AD pet. In the last 3 years we have had a 7-4-1 overall pick and we have dumped on all of them. I hope we trade our #8 this year for a veteran that has shown they can play in this league, ENOUGH wasted picks because they have a good 40 time or can throw a football 70 yards on their knees. JaMeatloaf is a lazy loser! The one thing this article fails to say, I don’t pin JaMeatloaf or DHB on Cable, that’s on AD.

Grads was obviously the best QB from preseason games all the way through. If the throws, game in and out didn't show you that then the preformance in the steelers game should have made it obvious. WR is a contender for our weekest spot huh?! not our complete inability to stop the run or block at all on pass OR run plays? So we dont need a middle or inside linebacker? we dont need a great DT or RG or OT? not a franchise QB (won't happen this year unless we get lucky in the 3rd round or later.) A stud saftey? an outside LB a good fullbasck to block for our three RB's and the QB, nope we need someone to step in for chaz, or for murphy, we need a third guy better than walker or higgens or dhb can be. you're a moron. Your thoughts on who the best free agents are is silly too. Just thoroughly your whole piece here shows an amazing inability to understand football or the raiders. Seriously how does one fomulate opinions that are so wrong?! You are a stupid stupid man Rob. Grads was obviously the best QB from preseason games all the way through.

He and DHB stink up the field, these guys are not NFL caliber players. How can so many other see this and not the Raiders organization. Is it just because they do not wish to admit to their mistakes in the draft. Murphy clearly outplayed DHB and Jabust was outplayed by every QB in the NFL. These guys are brutal. The only people that have to suffer are Raider fans. This front office is a joke, it shows at the top of the draft. If they bring back these players the only people that will watch the games are Raider players and people that are employed by the Raiders. If either of these players play a down next season it will show that the Raiders front office and coaching staff know nothing about the NFL.
