Looking Forward: Raiders in Free Agency and draft v2.0

Raiders' position needs as I see it: NT/ OLB/ CB/ S/ (RB if Michael Bush walks)

If you look at the draft picks traded away from this year's draft, the Raider have already used three picks on QB's. They should not look at a QB in this Draft. I am not sure why everyone says Terrelle Pryor is not ready. He has raw talent and I think he would be fine, but I do like Dennis Dixon or David Garrard coming in for competition.

For the draft I am going with the prediction that the Raiders will have a 3rd, 2 5ths, and 2 6ths.

Free agency:

CB will be our splash: Tracy Porter and Tyrelle Thomas
Corp for 2012- not in order
Porter/Thomas/DVD/Chekwa/Johnson/Underwood

LB: Jarret Johnson
Corp for 2012- not in order
Kamerion Wimbley/ Rolando McClain/ Travis Geothel/ Aaron Curry- restructures/ Chris Johnson/ Quentin Groves- His speed alone makes me curious what he can do in new scheme and coach.

DL:
I don't think we do much on DL in FA just more re-shaping because John Henderson re-does his deal plus the draft.
Corps for 2012- not in order
Tommy Kelly/ Richard Seymour/ Lamarr Houston/ Matt Shaughnessy/ (R)Nicolas Jean-Baptiste/ John Henderson/ Travis Ivey/ Desmond Bryant

S:
Don't see any movement. Michael Huff restructures and Hiram Eugene is cut or restructures.
Corps for 2012- not in order
Huff/ Eugene/ Tyvon Branch/ Mike Mitchell/ (R)Winston Guy

--------

OL: Actually would not mind Robert Gallery returning for cheap. Next draft we go OL
We either pull a OG o C from Houston would prefer Myers
Corp for 2012- not in order
Jared Velheer/ Stefen Wisniewski/ Joseph Barksdale/ Bruce Campbell/ Samson Satele-- depth/ Cooper Carlisle-restructures/ Stephon Heyer-cheap depth (or Gallery)/ Chis Myers

QB: Dennis Dixon or David Garrard
Corp for 2012- not in order
Carson Palmer/ Pryor/ Dixon or Garrard

RB: Justin Forsett
I like Forsett can be the PR as well
Corps for 2012- not in order
Darren McFadden/ Forsett/ Taiwan Jones

FB: Marcel Reece should get a 1st and 3rd RFA tender
Corps for 2012- not in order
Reece/ Lonyae Miller/ Rock Cartwright/ Richard Gordon

WR: With such a deep class I don't know I would like Chaz Schilens in the slot. Why not TJ Houshmandzadeh, he is cheap?
Corp for 2012- not in order
Darrius Heyward-Bey/ Louis Murphy/ Denarius Moore/ Jacoby Ford/ Schillens/ Houshmandzadeh

TE; aint broke just use it TE next draft
Corp for 2012- not in order
Kevin Boss/ David Ausberry/ Brandon Myers

This leads to my Draft
