Thanks for your support!
maybe they feel they owe us one after the P-Buc deal?
ya, this guy is exactly what we need too, a big brusing back with speed who can hit holes. I remember thinking he was a less agile Adrian Peterson in college, I saw him straight run over some people....
Why would the Raiders NOT be in the market for a WR? THey don't even currently have one right now. That is their BIGGEST NEED. That is exactly what they are in the market for. Hell, that is all that was talked about all year long last year was how Russell didn't have any weapons to throw to other than Zach Miller who is a TE. Miller was their best WR last season. The Raiders are one of the dumbest organizations in football and Al Davis loves getting a guy that is talented with speed.
With Donald Curry gone, they may need another WR too. I think the sale to the Raiders would be the fact that JJ is a good PR because we can't sale them on his receiving stats.
Jacoby Jones has ZERO value as a wide receiver right now. He's below DAVID ANDERSON on the depth chart! If he had any WR chops at all, he'd instantly a lot more valuable.
I wouldn't even hesitate there. That would be just abour right if you ask me. Of course the Raiders wouldn't do that either but it's a great fantasy to toy with.
Michael Bush is third on his depth chart.....????
I'm thinking that Porter would retire before going back to Oakland...or kill himself...
Yeah, but he's shown several times in game situations that he can play. Jacoby has tanked over and over again as a WR... and his propensity to fumble punt returns almost outweighs his ability to occasionally take one all the way.
They already have a better return man, though. Higgins is arguably the best in the NFL.
I agree with your 2nd paragraph. I have us taking Peerman RB in 5th and Gartrell Johnson in 6th. Regardless quality backs should be avail late day 2.
Not sure where this is comming from. Every time I've seen JJ thrown the ball it's a big play. JJ makes good adjustments, gets good seperation, and can go up and get the ball. He just hasn't had a lot of opportunities with the coaches preference for DA. With Anderson possibly gone I think we'll see alot more of Jacobi in 2009, barring a trade of course.
I don't mean on the field - I mean that he's had plenty of chances to move up the depth chart and never took advantage of it.
I dunno about that...Jacoby didn't play as much in regualr offensive sets as Bush did...
JJ is not known for his receiving skills. Most bad PR is on his return choices and fumbles.
Yeah - that's because JJ never earned the right to with his practice or play as a WR. Bush DID earn it because he's got a lot of skill and promise, and more importantly - he's actually shown it.
I just bet Kubiak and Smith reads these boards to get a good laugh at some of our ideas on who to trade or acquire.

Hello Al. How are ya doin you ol cryptkeeper?
I doubt Andre Davis would draw much interest either. I would support Kubiak and co if they wanted to send a 4th and JJ to Oakland for Bush...
I could see Davis as a better option for Oakland but still not sure how much interest they'd have in him. I'd probably do the trade for Bush straight up but then I'd focus on WR early in the draft like you suggested. We got plenty of needs on defense (1 just got addressed during FA) but adding Michael Bush and a WR like Jeremy Maclin would make this offense young and even better.
would oakland take that trade??? i very well could be wrong but i doubt it.
Now yer talkin'
I think he would be more of a replacement for Walter at this point than he would for any of our RB's. Bush can't run into the trenches, and Slaton could be just as useful in the passing game as Bush is if we used him enough in that.I know he's not the pounder we all want... but we could just wait until Reggie Bush becomes a free agent. I think he'd be a great backup for Slaton.
