Doubtful this far ahead of the draft, but hey...It's the offseason. About all you're going to hear about the draft until it happens are rumors.

That is one awesome deal for the 49ers. I'm sure they are probably doing this to replace Caulpepper with Vince young, which is great. I'm glad some other team didn't trade so we can get some big defensive guy here. I'm hoping for M. Williams or AJ Hawk.

That team is completely assinine..Way too much for the #6.Atleast OAK didnt pull a dumbass call like this.

I agree about the defense, though i can see a point with Vernon. If you think about the mismatches it would create, you can see how it would be a good pick. All we had for the outlet passes last year was Jordon and he has lousy hands out of the backfield. He cost us alot of first downs and continued drives with his drops last year. Having to defend him would help open up the running game and make our line look better.

How do you see David "slipping" to the Raiders? There is NO team picking 1 to 6 that is targetting him. The Raiders will not take a TE with pick #7.

A lot would depend on who the Vikings want with pick 6. There was a note on KFFL about the Vikings saying that the QB they draft in the 1st Round will not start in 2006.

There are a number of teams looking to trade up to get one of the top 3 QB's. The Vikings, Ravens, Broncos, maybe Dolphins and even the Chiefs would be considering it.

Mario Williams and AJ Hawk will be gone with picks 2 (or 4 if the Saints trade with the Jets) and 5.

If this is true...this was a trade the Raiders needed to make.

[coRaider]

any word if this has actually gone through yet? link?
retarded trade if you are a vikings fan.
could end up being very good for us. damn i wish i knew who al has targeted!

its the vikings what did you expect?

[urwerthless]

The more and more i think about it, the more Vernon Davis makes sense.....

The highlight reel on this guy is amazing, combine that with his unreal combine..... he has Al written all over him

The best defense is a clock-controlling, flag-moving offense.

Davis would be our possession/across the middle receiver..... with all those weapons and a revamped running game, our defense would be helped out more than any one DT or LB, IMHO. How many times did our D come up with a stop on 3rd down only to find themselves back out there after a 3 and out by our inept Offense??

If its between Ngata and Davis, take Davis.... my $.02
