For those curious what the Raiders will do with the fourth overall pick of the NFL draft, check out the guest sign-in sheet at team headquarters in Alameda. The who's-who list has included Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, Virginia defensive end Chris Long, Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston and Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long. LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey is due to visit in the coming days. The Raiders' first-round pick almost certainly will come from that bunch, with most draft analysts siding with McFadden (a big want) or Gholston (a huge need).

What do you expect? Any of these guys will fill a need for the Silver and Black. McFadden could be an instant impact player, and this could change the balance of power in a Western Division that is starting to look mediocre.

we all know the raiders is the dumbest team in the leauge i mean im one to talk being a skins fan but they'll rake mcfadden he'll probally be a beast somewhere else but not their with their raggedy offensive line they should try and get a o-lineman or d-lineman

McFadden will go to the Raiders if Davis still has any brain cells left

He doesnt

KP - Good morning...I agree, he probably does not...

As a Raider fan, let me fully back up the comments of Stauff and #1Astrosfan. Davis hasn't a brain cell left, let alone a heart.

McFadden can atrophy on the bench next to Jamarcus Russell.

Sorry to go off-topic here, but KPKahder wins the award for most creative avatar.

I think I will now put a new avatar up for my profile....A little graphic, but then again its contained within my images...

whats the point of this article. it is a little obvious the raiders are going to select a proboble first rounder with there first round pick. i dont know if they changed the guy who writes these or not but they are pretty crappy now.

wow- thanks for that breaking news.....the top 5 projected guys for the lst 2 months coming to visit.......I would never have guessed. I wonder if the other teams in the top 5 are looking at the same people?

I think my avatar is creepy.....

April 17, 2008  10:30 AM ET

I'm not a Raider fan.....always hated them actually.....but I would love to see them pick Howies kid.....pretty cool if they did.

My Draft List includes:

Sam Adams Wheat Cherry
Sam Adams Light Ale
Black Dog Blue Berry Ale
And any micro brew beer that doesn't taste like regular beer

Hey........WTF ever happened to Zima? It was like Coors had a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. child with Sprite or 7up and..BOOM...Zima...

I havent seen it in a while.......

April 17, 2008  10:38 AM ET

Hmmm...looking at my list....

It seems like I have a love for Fruity tasting beer..........

Man...thats depressing....

April 17, 2008  10:41 AM ET

Gholston is too riskey of a pick. With a franchise that needs stabilitly, go with glen dorsy or ellis (might be a reach).

April 17, 2008  10:54 AM ET

They should have never signed Rhodes last year- that was should have been spent at another position, D-line or O-line!

April 17, 2008  11:56 AM ET

KP,

That avatar is "priceless", nice one!
