Oakland Raiders 2011 Draft: Wisniewski, Stanzi and Moch

but hard for me not to, grew up in IA and on Sat in the fall, I bleed Black-N-Gold. It will be interesting to see if OSU’s Terrell Pryor will leave for the NFL as a Junior rather than sit out the first 5 games for NCAA suspension. Should he enter the draft, I would also be happy with Pryor.
The uncertainty of the CBA will make it interesting for Jr’s this year. I believe there will NOT be a new CBA by Jan 15 2011, which is the deadline for Jrs to declare for the 2011 draft. With labor uncertainty, I am predicting that very few jr’s enter the draft this year, might as well stay in school, continue to workout, practice and complete with your team than to sit it out (could still go to class though I guess) b/c the declared for the draft. Now we all know that most yrs, when jr’s enter the draft, they are good prospects and usually drafted. However, I am not sure of the exact wording on the league rules, but I am under the impression that even w/o a new CBA, there will be a draft. What I am not sure of is if this is the case, AND there is a lock-out, what happens to these players? Do the teams have to sign them to a contract to prevent them from re-entering the follwoing years draft? If so, then they would at least get their signing bonuses I suspect, but if locked out, there will be no game checks.
Additionally, I wonder what the rules are as far as being drafted, signing to get your bonus, if there was a lock-out, would they be allowed to sign with and play for a UFL or CFL team? Who is our draft/league rules Guru, after Sunday’s ass kicking of the Queefs, we are gonna need something to chat on until draft time, and it would be great if we had someone who knows the intricacies that we may face with a lack of CBA and pending lock-out.

There are too many questions about next season to be worried about specific college prospects yet. We need to finish our season, see what happens with the CBA, and if there is even going to be football next year see what happens with free agency in February. Once all of those things happen then we can discuss positional needs and potential prospects.

My question with Moch is his cover ability too. Not so impressed with that tape, but will keep an eye on the guy.

I liked his ability to get to the qb, but he got passes away and completed long strikes all too often. I’m not sure another pass rusher is what we most need.

Nonetheless, I look forward to the draft with a renewed vigor, and know we’ll come away with some difference makers, that will propel this team to the next level.

The Moch guy looks great. I’d love to see him at the combine.

a CBA will be reached before the start of next year.I would love to see the Raiders get"Wiz"jr he can be moved to RG make a competition between him and Bruce Campbell for the spot.some draft boards have Nate Solder falling to Raiders in second round but i dont see that.The Raiders need to trade up,either into the first round or or NE first pick in Rd 2 to get the ‘Wiz"they need to keep that other pick in rd 2 for C K,O’ from USC or the C from TCU Kirkpatrick.Raiders need a big strong C like Barret Robbins,he was strong and 3/4 CRAZY.also would like to see Raiders pick WR Binns ,he is not fast,but he is big and strong with good hand and runs good routs,fights hard for the ball.and hay,if he doesn’t work out at WR he could be a wicked receiving TE..as for a QB,i think they should look at Troy Weatherhead from Hills dale.he dos not have a big arm,but he is accurate,has a nice touch on the ball,has a quick release,is fleet of foot and smart(there are no dummies coming out of this school.

john fox wont be returning to the panthers

Stefen is Steve’s nephew.
Son of Leo Wizniewski, from Penn State and short stint with the Colts.

He looks like a good 3rd rounder.

Forget Moch and Stanzi.

Get some players that are first of all, football players (not just athletes)
and that can stop the run consistently . Perhaps bring back John Fox as the DC?

I agree with a WR like Floyd from ND.
We need a guy that can get open when the defense knows the ball is coming to him, but he still makes the grab for a first down or TD. Strong physical WR like Andre Johnson or T.O. (not TO though, only like him but quiet, like Tim Brown or Jerry Rice)

Anyone on the current roster who can do that? I am not aware of one.

Call the Routt project a failure and more on.
Opposite of Nnamdi Asomugha, we also need another shut down corner.
LSU’s Patrick Peterson is exactly that.
Chris Johnson isn’t bad but if he isn’t healthy, we need someone else there.
The question is, how high in the draft will he go?
We might not have a shot at him without trading up.
Is he worth it?

The Raiders have several needs , but none more glaring than a DB to play opposite of Asomugah.. Hence , Nebraska DB Amukumara is definitely worthy of serious consideration , if available. Plus, those two names together even sounds scary…….Asomugah and Amukumara….. I also believe that we could use D. Mcnabb, who will not be with the skins next season. Keep one of QB’S currently on the roster as a backup…Probably Campbell, and pick up a future prospect in the late rounds. At this point, it seems we have no real #1 reciever, and a bunch 2’s and 3’s. Either by FA signing or trade, we need some help there.

He may not make it past our rivals STD or KC and definitely will not be there by the time NE picks at the end of the 1st rd. Too many teams like this guy not just because of pedigree but because he can play.
