Quinn and the Raiders, but mainly WR choices - New England Patriots Forums

RxJock1120 · 01-03-2007, 11:08 PM

There have been very premature reports that the Raiders are not in love with the idea of drafting Brady Quinn number 1, these reports also stated the they would not mind drafting JaMarcus Russell, watching the Sugar Bowl I don't really blame them. This got me thinking, what if we trade both our first rounders and a fourth, and maybe a seventh, to move up to the number one spot and grab Calvin Johnson. I know there is less then 5% chance this happens, but just picture Brady throwing to Calvin, with Caldwell as a number two, and Maroney in the backfield, that's one giant headache for any defensive coordinator. Also what about trading a first rounder for someone like Boldin, Arizona is bound to change their philosophy with a new coach and I am sure the new coach would love an extra first to build up the team in his vision. Any thoughts?????

Five percent chance? I'd say more like 1 in a 1,000,000,000.

Prediction: Whoever goes to the Raiders is doomed. I think it'll be Russell because somehow that just fits their style more. Meanwhile Quinn goes on to have a good career somewhere else.

I'd trade the whole draft for Calvin Johnson.

Maybe I'm exaggerating, but still, the guy's something special. He's Randy Moss without the attitude.

And if I was the Raiders, I'd take Russell. I think Quinn will fall somewhat, but maybe that's just me. I think Russell will be a better pro than Quinn will ever be. I think Quinn's overhyped because he plays for Notre Dame. I think... alot of things.

I've been thinking that whomever the Raiders pick might pull an Elway or an Eli and find a way to not go to the Raiders. That organization, if you can call it that, is screwed until Davis is gone. No decent coach or front office people will work for Davis. One fugly mess.

Are we allowed to play with only QBs and receivers?

Powerful man love going on here.

You'll never keep the Lions away from Johnson.

Their whole success is predicated on getting the best WR in the draft.

My bad, I don't follow the bottom feeders.

The Raiders will have to unload the first Randy Moss, before they draft the next one.

We have way to many holes to fill than throw all our pics to take a shot at #1. Who will play cb next year and in the future? What do we do about out ILB and OLB? What about Rodney's replacement? Yes, we do need some WR. What about possible additions to the Oline? We have way to many need than to gamble pics away.

Calvin Johnson.

I'd be real happy to hear this if I was Brady Quinn. I think he will have a successful pro career if he can land in the right location, but he is overhyped right now. He can't carry an organization as dysfunctional as the Raiders all by himself.
