Ok 4 days til the draft here is my official take on what will happen. The best thing for the franchise would be to trade down a couple of slots to Tampa Bay and pickup some extra picks. If we're smart we will give Walter a chance to play QB behind a offensive line that has been coached properly... and with an offense that was created in this century!
Here's what will happen on Draft Day... The Raiders will trade down with Tampa Bay and then select Brady Quinn. Quinn is further along in his development as a QB. Al Davis does not want a project at QB. I know there have been references to his love of big arms and his quest to get Elway and the conversation that he had with Art Shell about Michael Huff... However, one fact that is not being considered is the reluctance to rebuild... Davis likes to reload. Quinn is closer to that mentality. The second factor is Salary 25mil is steep for a franchise that is located in a small market!
