Well, the NFL draft is complete, and the months of speculation about what the Raiders would do with their 1st round draft pick have finally ended. As most of the media had predicted, the Raiders took Darren McFadden with the number 4 pick overall. McFadden was a stud running back in college, and the Raiders are banking on him being a stud in the NFL as well. He better be, considering that the Raiders used their only day one pick on a running back - a position that clearly was not a position where they were weak, having Justin Fargas, LaMont Jordan, Dominic Rhodes, and Michael Bush already on the team. Since the draft, they have already released Rhodes, and it will not be a big surprise if Jordan is the next to go.
The upcoming season should be quite interesting, as it looks like the Oakland raiders will be starting both a quarterback and running back with little to no NFL experience. There should be plenty of big plays...we'll just have to hope that there are more big plays that go our way than for the other teams!
