I am so mad right now!

[Slump]

The 2 things we need most are a LT and WRs. There were no FA LTs and the FA WR class is weak, so why over-pay greedy FAs?

There is at least one great LT in this draft and enough WRs that we can get a very good one in the 2nd and probably another one later on.

I have to admit though, I would have liked to get Isaac Bruce for his veteran leadership on offense.

Please stop....startin' to sound like an old lady!!

Curry is the lone receiver left! i guess we gonna draft hella receivers now huh? oh we need a new tackle cause we cut sorry sims so we need a tackle and the best we can do is reach for a niner reject kwame harris? if i had any hair, its all gone now cause i pulled it all out! can someone calm me down and tell me what in god's name is going on around here! heck, the niners yeah thats right NINERS are making more moves than us and on top of that, they are bringing in quality players! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGG!!!!!!!

...try hitting the enter key when typing man..makes it easier.

Also, what haven't the raiders done?
Unless you call Berrian and Stallworth and say "OMG, 10 years 100 million." They'll still listen to offers scheduled BEFORE the Raiders.
We were in line, wasn't like nothing was being done.

Defense is getting shored up...steps to improve the offense are being taken.

This isn't Madden.
Hell, even in Madden the FA's got 30 days.
Your panicking after 2????

we can get a solid WR or two for less price and a real gem in the 2nd

just relax you cant spend money like it grows on trees patience is needed

why over pay for players that can do better in the draft

Well we overpaid Kelly when we could've done a lot better in the draft most likely (Ellis/Dorsey)....

Boss hate to make this worst for ya but Carlisle voided his contract and his a free agent right now. What Im trying to say is, he ain't a Raider no mo. Sorry

[TheChampIsHere]

well theres still some WRs out there in FA so Id expect the Raiders sign someone...theres Drew Carter, Bryant Johnson, Javon Walker, Gaffney...even some other possible contributors like Givens, Caldwell, Kolbert, Kennison, Lloyd...Ok a lot of these guys arent starting quality but we need to add depth badly too

in the draft I dont figure us to even look at a WR round 1 unless we trade down but I could see us going after guys like Doucet, James Hardy or Manningham with our 2nd rounder assuming we cant find a way to get our hands on someone like Kelly, Sweed, or Desean Jackson.

im sure well figure something out

[gator_mclusky]

We're doing fine. Bring in Dorsey!!!!!

First off don't get upset about something you don't understand. If you've never heard of Gibril Wilson, you don't know enough about the game to complain.

Didn't know Carlisle voided. That is a pretty big loss considering he was the most consistant OL we had. Thanks for the info!

read my other post in this thread then


btw they arent out of the question either

[OrRdrFan]

Man, this sh!t is starting way too early. And it's only going to get worse as Draft day nears. It's going to be a long long 56 days.
