JaMarcus Russell only marginally F-A-T. Good for Faderland! :) FAT!

I think it's total bs and that they are just trying to get readers to look at their crap. Unless this crazy idea happens, or McCoy drops to the Raiders, then they are going offensive tackle in the first round. In the second round the Raiders should take a DT, and the type of DT depends on whether or not they switch to a 3-4 (I don't think it's gonna happen). But if Jahvid Best somehow drops to the Raiders in the 2nd, then I think that they should take him because of his huge playmaking ability. I know the Raiders have Bush and McFadden, who is supposed to be the big play guy, but I think that it would enable the Raiders to do some amazing things offensively (if Gradkowski is the qb). McFadden could be used as a wideout a lot of the time and maybe carry the ball 10+ times a game, and Bush could carry the ball 15-20 times a game, while Best could carry the ball 15+ times a game. The Raiders would be able to do so many wildcat type plays, and it would make the offense very difficult to scheme against because they would also have a guy that can actually throw the ball well (Gradkowski).

"I haven’t officially signed with them yet. They offered a second round tender. So its still free agency going on, so there are other teams out there, but in my heart, I want to be in Oakland. I believe I’ll be in Oakland and I’ll like to be here for years to come. I just feel a good presence here, especially with the fan-base we have. It’s the best in football and fans that love their team. And we need to give them something to cheer for. So that’s what I’m looking forward to changing this year and going in and having a good season."

Grad sounds like Cable in this interview - extremely cagey and vague.
