Why we shouldn't draft Faine or a QB
We definately shouldn't draft Jeff Faine, especially in the 1st round. While I am a big fan of ND football and by no means he is a bad player, but the Raiders need help elsewhere. I think the Barret Robbins was kinda blown out of proportion if you ask me. And for you who had your eyes open the entire superbowl, you saw Adam Treu, who we know is good because he played very well in Robbins' absence last year. Robbins might come back though. I think some people, me included, are a little too pessimistic about him coming back. When Upshaw and the other Raiders said those quotes before they knew of his illness. About the draft, we really need a DE, and a S, and then it's anyone's game. We could draft Teyo Johnson in the 2nd or third, or get McGahee if he's around in the 2nd round (which he probably won't) Adam Treu was good in the Super Bowl, it was just that the other line wasn't so hot that day.
We also shouldn't draft a QB on the first day. If Drew Henson is available in the 5th round, we might want to pick him up. I think we should play Tui a lot in Preseason and make a verdict for next year so we know the situation better. That would make us need a ready QB if Tui doesn't play well, but that will just have to be. All that **** that Tui is Gruden's boy, don't believe it. Nobody knows a lot about him, and we should give him a chance. During blowouts, we should give Tui the ball. He only got into 4 games last year and threw about 4 passes. I like the way that Cally is having Tui always next to him, letting him learn the offense. Let's hope Al takes my advice. What do you guys think?
