Who's who on Raiders draft list?
Posted: Thursday April 17, 2008 07:29AM ET
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.

Report Offensive CommentAs 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.

Report Offensive CommentMcFadden can atrophy on the bench next to Jamarcus Russell.

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

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