RB with LB or DE running close second.

As the Question Asked... Biggest need... That would be RB....

even though we do NEED "D", a RB would get the "O" on track, and we can let the "D" fall into place

I Voted D Line, though I agree Running back is a big need but I'm hoping we can pick up Jordan, so that said I think pass rush will be biggest need, get that and it takes some pressure off the corners.

I voted for RB. If we had any kind of running game maybe our defense wouldn't have to be out on the field for 35-40 minutes a game. We could actually sustain some of our drives and give the defense a rest. That would be great. I know we need help on defense, but christ guys we were last in the league in running the football. You can get to the playoffs throwing the football. You win championships by running the football and playing defense!
Since we can't draft a whole defense I'll go with a franchise RB!!!!

I voted LB because our D needs it!!! A message to Lamont:I will pay your airfare and moving costs to Oakland, just get out here!!

I went with linebacker. In today's game a linebacker is asked to do so much from stoping the run, to pass coverage, to putting preasure on the QB that having a really good one makes alot of difference. The great Raider teams of the past have had a great LB. Hendrickson, Millen just to name a few made the D as a whole look better. And now with Nap going we'll need someone there to fill the void let alone building some depth.

R8ders Ca thats cool how you posted those clips on eac side. i remember that game. We really did kind of make them look really bad in their own home in their own weather. lol i hate the broncos.

Oh yeh we need to focus on defense alot more than offense. They say defense wins superbowls but thats not acutally true. You have to have a STRONG balance of both offense and defense. So the D gets an INT or makes you put. if the offense can't get in the end zone your just spinning your wheels. We need 3 good linebackers from FA or the draft

heck i would stay hybrid and convert Derrick Gibson to a sort of nickleback outside linebacker and just have him in full roming on the field evertime. that would negate the outside speed the other teams RBs would hope to use. and keep sweighert and anderson in the back field. I like kenyons nash's heights so i might possibly make him starter.
