I would sit there in absolute silence...

Then I would pray that they will then say that we traded Vernon away for the Jets #6 pick plus a 2nd round selection.

i would say that i hope he doesnt do steroids like merriman and becomes better than him because he sure as heck has the talent and measurables it is up to our defensive scheme to use him wisely which is what scares me the most.

Probaly the same reaction I had when I heard.

"With the 17th (overall) pick in the 2000 NFL Draft the Oakland Raiders select......Kicker Sebastian Janokowski out of Flordia State."

Nobody the Raiders are likely to take is a sure-fire stud or a sure-fire bust. Honestly, I'm a total draft nerd but I'm not terribly excited about anyone in this draft. So, unless the Raiders go wayyyyy off the board and pull a complete shocker, my reaction will be "whatever."
If you want to say "F--- yeah, we got McFadden!" or "F--- no, we got Gholston!" have at it, but the reality is none of these guys are locks.

Dido. I think their it would of course be a safer pick to pick long BUT..... haha their is always but huh lol . BUT..... if we do pick Vernon and he turns out to be a shawn merrian clone of better man would we not all be sporting VG jerseys lol. either way im happy

Words can't express how angry I would be if Mr Davis selects Vernon Gholston and Chris Long is still on the board.....

I couldn't find the picture on the net, but remember the look on the Miami fans faces when they got Ginn Jr?

Alternatively, I might just say: "Who wants to go to the park?"

I would be immensely pissed off for a few minutes and loudly cuss Al Davis, cos it means he just passed on at least one of the Longs, Dorsey or McFadden.

However once the red mist lifts, I would be rooting for the guy big time to have a great career with the Raiders.

Go Vernon etc...
