It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If the Raiders can find a way to lose their home opener today against the Rams, I will REALLY start to get excited about that pick....an indication of how bad they could be this year.
I don't want the 1st pick, who would we take that would be worth the contract? And if we try to trade it we'll have to undersell it since everyone in the league knows we don't want it. Give me a nice 5-10

A rookie wage scale at the top of the first round looks very likely. But... there is much less certainty that it would apply to the 2011 draft. A CBA might not get done until after the draft.
Plus we just pass if we didn't want to use it right away.That's ridiculous. With the advent of the Rookie Salary Cap, the #1 pick will, once again, not only not be the poison it's been, but will be coveted, and worth one HELL of a lot more than a 5-10 range pick.
Coach Bill II could parlay that single pick into a small ARMY.
Doesn't matter: It would be retroactive to the Draft.
Why would it be retroactive?
Raiders inactives today include Bush, Gallery, and Seymour.

You guys are making large and uncertain assumptions. As much as a rookie pool looks likely, I bet the owners would give it up if bargaining it away would get them a couple more % points of total revenue.First round draft picks aren't usually signed till late July. So as long as the CBA is done by then we're golden.

If the CBA isn't done by draft time, do you really think Bill would keep a #1 pick if a rookie pool isn't an absolute certainty (which it wouldn't be at that point). And do you think he'd get top value in return, with such uncertainty?
No and no.
