I said the past couple weeks that we don't need a reciever in the first. Eventually we will, Williams can't play forever and is a short term solution. Juedy will be a long term answer to the WR position. Next season receiver isn't a pressing need like players on defense. But in two years we will be in the same spot we are in today, lack of talent at the reciever postion. Every level on defense is weak. Raiders can draft any player and they could be an immediate starter. As bad as our linebackers are I don's see us taking on in the first. Linebackers are used up quick in the NFl and that seems to be the Raiders approach. High impact collisions on every play, shorter careers for LB's. I would love to see and impact tackle like derrick brown.
