With the 2nd Pick in the NFL Draft...

The Oakland Raiders select...


-The Oakland Raiders need help everywhere. Their only decent players at this point are Nhamdi Asomugha and Richard Seymour. Darren McFadden hasn't quite lived up to expectations just yet due to injuries, and JaMarcus Russell has not progressed at all; in fact, i think he may have gotten worse. After losing Derrick Burgess before the year started and having Richard Seymour with an expiring contract (which he will most likely not resign), the Raiders need lots of help on the defensive line. While this may not fill their biggest need, it is a great value pick for the Raiders. Carlos Dunlap is the prototypical Raider prospect: Freakish Size (6-6, 290lbs) and Lightning Speed (4.6). But if we learned anything after last year, it's that owner Al Davis will shock us all with his selection.
