Why did the raiders pick a safety?

Because last year we had the lowest total of interceptions in NFL History (5). That is just plain terrible. \n\nMichal Huff was the best Back in the Draft and most likely will play from the get go. \n\nI was a little leary of it myself but it does make a little sense. Need Turnovers big time to compete. Double our total of Int's and we still are the worst last year.

Happened about 5 hours ago, but yea, its a bad decision on Taxans behalf. If they werent gonna take Reggie, they shoulda got Vince, even though they still wont be winning, he would put butts in the seats. But good news is, with that dumb pick, the Texans will prob have the first pick next year so  they can get the Beast Adrian Peterson(Hopefully) or another good RB.

AJ Hawk and Bobby Carpenter are very solid and were good picks.  I actually think maybe it was a little high for Carpenter, but he is a good fit for the 3-4 and Parcells.  Donte Whitner went too high, but he was the best safety after Michael Huff, so if you want a safety, he's the guy.  Should've gone about at Miami, though.

Norv Turner is a good coach. The Raiders D just needs improving. Like a DB to cover the pass!(only 5 int's. worst in the NFL)

they say the draft is for winners and free agents are for losers....a free agent that signed with a team and starts will cost more than one drafted......the draft is the life blood of the nfl of course it was....!!! the titans got the future leader of the team in young and maybe a future starting RB in White....the steel has got depth at DE but after a year in a half in the system he might be better than the starter of this year...and then is always room for WRs

Because they wanted to go out and draft a guy who didn't record a single sack against three division three schools.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  That's a number one pick?!!!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think they made a mistake.  They should have traded down a couple of spots and picked Matt Leinart to reunite with Titans offensive co-ordinator Norm Chow who coached him at USC.\n\nFor more on the Titans and the NFL, check this out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

The Raiders are in one of those famous (and for the fans -frustrating) "rebuilding years". This team was ranked 32nd. out of 32 for most of the first half and was the joke of the NFL. Suddenly they are showing some real "Raider" class and they are NOT laying down but showing up for every game. They have had some excellent defensive efforts lately and yes their record could be better (NOT 7-4 under ANY circumstances!) but with luck, 5-6 maybe.\n\nThis is a team that shows real promise for the future. You put a real offense in there and watch out. (yeah, and get rid of Moss, this team needs TEAM players at this point...) This is definitely a team which is suddenly just a few good players short of real contention. I'm not a rabid Raider's fan, but I like to see them in the hunt, what's the NFL without the Evil Black and Silver?\n\n(We all rave about the Manning dynasty, father and two brothers, but has anyone noticed the Defensive Coordinator dynasty, the Ryans? Father - Buddy Ryan, DC of the 1985 SB Bears, one of the best defenses in NFL history, son Rob Ryan, DC of the mighty Ravens (who shutout, shut down and stomped the Steelers yestersday) and his brother Rex, now DC of the suddenly respectable Oakland Defense? How spooky is that?)

Yes....they are.  Complete morons.  They picked a guy for their number one draft pick, who couldn't record a sack against three division three schools.  That is not a number one draft pick. Oh...and Reggie Bush was right there....but I guess Domanick Davis is the answer.  HHHHHAAAAA!

Great pick, we did give up alot for the pick. Randel el was an average reciever at best. Holes was an imediate upgrade. Holmes can stretch the field and is great compliment to hines ward. Hines is a possession reciever while Holmes is a deep threat. All i can say one for the other thumb.

Here's my response to the same question but different QB. Brodie Croyle: and now to your other question for \n\nTHere is no way in hell the Raiders would take this guy. In the recent mock draft they might even get Vince Young. They also drafted a guy last year named Andrew Walter. Frankly walters better than this guy. \n\nThe Cardinals will have Kurt Warner starting and they just let go of a real good pick up for some other team in Josh McCown. \n\nThere are alot of QB's out there. Drew Brees will also probably be out there. John Kitna might be and also these other veterans could be available.\n\nThat list includes Minnesota's Daunte Culpepper, Tampa Bay's Brian Griese, the Jets' Chad Pennington, Washington's Patrick Ramsey, Pittsburgh's Tommy Maddox, Oakland's Kerry Collins, New Orleans' Aaron Brooks, and Tennessee's Steve McNair.\n\nSo to predict were this guy will go is like picking out of a hat. Of course he'll go to a team that already has a solid starter.\n\nHere's my response to the first answer!!! THE PACKERS!! Are you out of your friking mind. Do you know that they picked \nAaron Rodgers #12 | Quarterback | Green Bay Packers\n1st friking Round (24th overall) Just Last Year!!! Thats like saying the Chargers or Giants will draft him.\n\nIts just Impossible to predict a QB unless your talking about Jay Cutler, VInce Young or Matt Leinhart!!!! Even the teams don't know, especially since they havn't figured out the salary Caps for this year. But for now its at 94.5 million. So all teams are droppin players. So you'll just have to wait.

Raiders re-signed ( S ) Jarrod Cooper --- A special teams standout, Cooper will get a chance to play strong safety because safety Renaldo Hill went to Dolphins.\n\nSling Shot--- arm Aaron Brooks off course we all no this which at first they was looking at Joey Harrington but took Brooks over him good choice.\n\nDont A.J Hank looks like a Raider wishfull thinking on my part another dream is since Seahanks is stalling on getting another contact signed with Mike Holmgren he just my be up for grabs because since he is not GM anymore they dont what to pay him his 7 million contact and is entering his last year fire AL and hire a Super Bowl Coach but like i said thats just a dream but let me come back to reality.\n\n Defense = CB Ryans from Alabama or CB Jimmy Williams from Virginia Tech  both are projected to be in the top 10 on draft day April 29 \n\nGood Linebacker = D'Qwell Jackson -- Maryland\n\nIf the offensive line gives Brooks protection he will pick apart any team we play. Some good drafts choices and the Raiders our headed this year to the playoffs i predict and may have to give myself a good kick in the rear. If the Raiders are not all the back their close.*\n\nBest kicker all i know is his nick name is, Money cause thats what he worth to me dont know his full name he was the best kicker in the NCAA last year played for Alabama

I agree with Ricky, only because he is one of the only rookies that is going to be able to get in on the action during the season. He is ready to play in the NFL. He will have plenty of offensive weapons, such as Edgerrin James, Larry Fitzgerald, and Anquan Boldin. He will be able to get plenty of minutes and prove his worth. Leinart should have been taken higher, but now he is on a better team.

Its not Randy...its the Raiders.  I know you just said how does the team have anything to do with it, but look at Edgerrin James going from Colts to Ari.  Heres the thing tho, Moss has top 3 ABILITY, he just isnt producing.  Alot of reasons why........\n\n1.)  His QB's are terrible and arent doing what they need to do.  Culpepper and Cunningham would just absolutely bomb it to him 3-4 times a game...now they do it 3-4 times in 8 games.  He has the speed, the hands, and the athleticism to make those long catches, but his QB's (Walters, Collins, Brooks) seem to make an effort NOT to throw it deep to him, and when they do its uncatchable.  I havent seen them do a deep route where the ball is purposely underthrown so Randy can stop and make a great athletic leap to grab it........he was the best at that and it hasnt been done but maybe a FEW times since he's joined Oakland\n\n2.)  He is a total ME guy...he hates the way things are going over in Oakland and he is not even giving 50% b/c no one else is.  His team is awful, absolutely awful, so he doesnt care anymore.  Its not that his talent dropped off, its the talent around him so therefore he doesnt care and doesnt try.  Put him with a good QB and in a good system where ppl actually try and win, and he will flourish once again.  But there in Oakland they are going nowhere and he's just a realist.  Regardless of whether he tried or not, they would still suck b/c their coach, owner, and players all suck...

Marcus Allen....check your facts....oh..the young guys bush..i think white was scared of the guy behind him on the dephtchart..he jumped ship too quick..a young guy that takes his carries away...end his nfl career before he takes a snap, so he jumps...if he's a first rounder.. i'll be shocked...i think a seconder or third round steal

first off draft was on saturday, and you posted this 2 hours ago. either you live on the moon and get late brodcasting. or you were in coma and just woke up. reggie bush should of been picked 1st, but the texans had a different team need. they already had a long term qb, so they wouldnt sign cutler, young, or leinart. i thought they should pick bush but no deal. it actually doesnt really matter, bush should have gone first no matter who was drafting first. why would you move up to the first pick to draft someone different?
