That article looks more like a wish list. I think that they have no real clue who they will draft untill they know who they will sign in free agency. We could only hope to get half of those free agents.

[COLOR=Navy]and a whole lot healthier too.i like kearse,but we ar dancing with the devil with respect to his injuries in the past.[/COLOR][QUOTE=Mattyk72]No Wistrom? I think he'd be a great fit and would be much cheaper than Kearse.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=offiss]going after another LB? I like pierce a lot I hope he get's a real shot this year, he has a nose for the ball.[/QUOTE]
I like Pierce as well. He's played well the times that he has gotten to play.

Kearse is a budget buster who has missed 14 of the last 32 games to injury.

Yeah I agree, this seems to be more of a wishlist than something fromt he front office.

[QUOTE=redwagonskins]that does look nice but it seems we always win the preseason superbowl and few actual games. Remember the Bruce Smith/ Deion days? We couldn't lose, right?[/QUOTE]

I actually bet a friend that we would go no worse than 13-3 that year with Deion and Co. What an ass I looked like.

as far as that list. If we took out Kearse and added a more blue collar type player who costs less (i.e. wistrom), I would be happier. I am just a little nervous about "the freak" getting hurt. and where did this talk about Cornelius Griffin come from. I haven't heard anything about him until just now. I would like to get him. I still think he is going to be a pretty good player. He had alot of hype coming into the past two years and disappointed, but he is still young and is a big body.

you don't have to draft a punter...i have 2 words for you...Brooks Barnard. He was a 4 year starter at Maryland, and probably one of the best punters in the country as a Senior...and i believe a free agent.

who is this Colman dude from Oakland???

I am looking at the Raiders roster and there is no one by that last name...

ESPN's rating on Rod Coleman.

and on Griffin.

Smith would be another good prospect.

thanks Phin. I appreciate the heads up.

Coleman is young and is a monster on the line he would be an awsome pick up. Wynn still starting, he a loser to me ...

I say get Winstrom and put him in wynn' s spot along with Kearse and I'll be happy
