Al is cheap - Raider coach back in '60 when the old AFL began, he thinks modern players make too much money. And the first overall pick really makes the big bucks.

He thinks he can get a qb either later in the draft, or McCown now.

I look for either Tampa or Atlanta to trade up to grab CJ. Which sticks it to poor Detroit, which would like to trade down, but without CJ still there the value of their pick diminishes.

Why would Atlanta trade up for CJ when they just signed Joe Horn and Petrino has made a point of saying he wants to revamp the offensive line? Not to mention they have so many holes in their defense...wouldn't make a lot of sense for them to swap #10 for #8 and then trade up IMO.

I think they're looking for Okoye or Landry and they didn't think either would last until #10.

If Raiders don't draft JaMarcus Russell, he may fall all the way down to #9 Miami. So I'm hoping Al drafts Calvin Johnson and uses him as bait to get JaMarcus and another pick. And he wouldn't have to pay him as much.
