Report: Raiders will likely draft Bruce Campbell

19

I know we've all been hearing that for weeks now, but this doesn't come from some random mock drafter who has nothing but conjecture to go on. David White, though unfortunately switched from the Raiders to the 49ers beat, apparently has been informed by contacts he still maintains in Oakland that the Raiders (read: Al Davis) are firming up their decision to make Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell the #8 overall draft pick in 9 days. I know this is the "smokescreen" time of year, but White stresses (as best as he can within Twitter's 140 character limit) that this is good information and not the B.S. commonly shoveled about by clubs looking to distract from their real intentions. Is this truly good info? Who knows. But I thought I'd pass it along, since White is one of the few guys (Jerry McDonald and Steve Corkran being the other two) who was ever a reliable source of Raider info
