The 2010 NFL Draft
The Raiders Post
Well the 2010 NFL Draft starts tomorrow at 7:30PM EDT. The Raiders have so many needs QB, OL, CB, ILB, DT. They have the 8th pick in the first round, the 7th (39) pick in the second, 5th (69) pick in the third, 8th (106) in the fourth, 7th (138) and 27th (158) picks in the fifth round, no picks in the sixth round and the 8th (215) and 44th (251) (compensatory pick) in the seventh round.
Since the Raiders didn’t win the Donovan McNabb sweepstakes, QB is still an area of need, but short of trading for Ben Roethlisberger and moving JaMarcus Russell in the exchange, I hope the Raiders do not reach for a QB with the 8th pick in the draft. A trade for Roethlisberger would be very questionable based on Ben’s current issues and contract numbers, but the Raiders will not have a 1st round pick in the 2011 draft so they may be forced to make a move this year and either trade for or draft a QB.
I would love to see Oakland make a movie for Jake Locker in next year’s draft but that will be near impossible. Personally, I feel the team should shore up either the offensive line, defensive line or the secondary in the first round.
Round 1 – In the first round I would like to see Oakland pick which ever player is available between these 4 or 5 players: Eric Berry – S – Tennessee, Trent Williams – OT – Oklahoma, Earl Thomas – FS – Texas, Charles Brown – OT – USC, Anthony Davis – OT – Rutgers.
Round 2 – In the second round depending on who is there they might have to grab, Jimmy Clausen – QB – Notre dame (doubt he’ll be there) or Colt McCoy – QB – Texas (likely to be there).
Round 3 - In the third round they need to address either DL, ILB or OL. So I think they need to grab first a DT, either Brian Price, Linval Joseph or Cam Thomas. If they are not there then Oakland should go for an ILB with either Brandon Spikes, Jamar Chaney or Donald Butler. If none of these players are around then I think they need to grab an interior offensive lineman, either Jon Asamoah – G – Illinois, John Jerry – G – Ole Miss, Matt Tennant – C – Boston College or Zane Beadles – G/T – Utah.
Round 4 – They need to build some DB depth or grab the best available RB.
Round 5 – With two picks in round five need to add depth at either OL, DL or CB depending on which areas have not been addressed as of yet.
Round 7 – I think you have to look for players that help out on special teams in the return game or as a gunner. So that basically means you are looking at WR, CB or RB. Also maybe a TE or LB.
