David Carr For a Third Rounder Would Cure Raider's Ailment:

My dream draft of a month ago was to trade draft picks with the Texans and acquire David Carr.

Now, it is looking like the Texans will be willing to accept a 3rd rounder for the former #1 draft pick out of Lane Kiffin's Alma Mater, Fresno State.

Lane got a good look at David Carr while he was with Fresno State and may be the perfect match for the underachieving star.

IF, the Raiders CAN acquire David Carr for a third rounder we will be looking at a draft that could include Calvin Johnson/Jarrett, Adrian Peterson/Lynch/Bush, Miller (TE, ASU http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/miller_zach00.html), Spaeth (Blocking TE, MINN http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/89772)

Here is a list of F/A O-Linemen. I wonder how much Todd Steussie has left in his tank?

Also of interest is that two of the best O-Lineman in last year's draft were taken in the 4th and 7th rounds.

This team needs skill players and a QB who can run a low turnover game from his position.

David Carr would be the perfect fit to go along with Calvin Johnson, Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry, Zach Miller and Michael Bush.

His offensive weapons would instantly be quadrupled and he could us his acuracy and adept timing to lead us over the hump.

This is like the Jim Plunkett story all over again!!!

Go Raiders!!!

This Off-Season is shaping up as a win-win-win-win-win no matter how it shakes out!!!

If you are correct I would jump

all over trading a 3rd to get Carr, then use the #1 to get Peterson. I know you like the Georgia Tech end,and everyone else does also, but still a pure runner like Peterson would be very, very tempting.
Carr is still very young, has a lot of experience, getting sacked at least. In any event I like the way things are going, some very excellent possibilities.

really...

would like to see that happening...Carr for our 3rder and pick up Peterson at #1. Trading Randy for a 3rder plus a 2nd tier WR from whoever wants him. This would solve a lot of questions.

QB- Carr (experienced QB w/ talent)
RB- Peterson (explosive RB)
getting rid of the enigma hopefully a solution in the lockers and allowing Porter to be the #1 WR.
2nder & 3rder- O-line help if studs available or a WR.

I would Love to add Carr and dump Brooks:

One thing about Carr is that he has taken an absolute beating in Texas and still answered the bell every time it rung.

He is also the perfect QB for Knapp and Kiffin's system.

As you can see, our defense is coming back in one piece and all we need now is a ball control offense that goes deep and tooses in a few trick plays 4-6 times a game.

Peterson and Jordan will be great complimentary backs.

I would love to get Miller out of ASU in the 2nd and a FB/OL in the 3rd.

Pride And Poise!!!
