Not a bad list. I like that you mentioned both Van McElroy (loved his energy) and Stacy Toran (met the guy a class act and he was a solid safety before his accident)

Lott & R-Wood were not Raiders for long... and where in the hell is Atkinson???? He is right up there with Tatum.

Best:

Tatum, Atkinson, McElroy, Davis, Anderson

Honourable mention: Lott & Woodson were only here for a short time. Turner gave all he had and then some.

I am not going to dwell on any worst when it comes to Raider players.

Eric Turner belongs in the top 5 IMO. And the safety we had playing with Dorsett when we lost the AFC Championship game vs Baltimore (I think i have blocked his name from my memory right now) was worse than Gibson. Actually I think Dorsett and that guy belong 1-2 on the worst list. Ray Buchanon was not as bad as most think he was.

Oh yea, what about George Atkinson as one of our better safeties? he and Tatum were awsome together.

I would put Rod Woodson at #2 real close to Tatum.
