NFL 2007 Offseason Thread

Are the Raiders going to take a offensive lineman with the first overall pick?

I doubt it..they already used a high pick on a lineman a few years ago (and he isn't even that good really) They could trade down, but if I was the Raiders I would try to sign Carr and draft Johnson. You say the offense sucked but who was throwing the ball to them? I don't know, I think Carr can be pretty good in the NFL. You have to take in account he was the first QB EVER for the Texans, so the career stats are obviously going to be skewed. Not to mention he was playing for a organization that drafted a highly overrated defensive end over guys like Reggie Bush, Vince Young and Matt Leinart. So naturally you can't think they where making a lot of other good personal moves (IE signing a QB who has started like 4 games in his career to a huge contract)

Out of the wideouts DrA listed they are all real good NFL players except for Edwards, who hasn't really developed fully yet but even so he is still above average IMO. That is a stupid target though because that is a terrible sample, how many teams in the last few years have had a top 3 or 4 pick and made it to the playoffs? Not a whole hell of a lot.
