At a time when many league observers believe that the Oakland Raiders won't be able to resist the 4.33 speed of running back Darren McFadden with the fourth overall pick in the draft, a league source tells us that there are "strong indications" that the Raiders will select Ohio State linebacker/defensive end Vernon Gholston according to Profootballtalk.com
Gholston's stock has improved dramatically as a result of pre-draft workouts. If drafted by the Raiders, he would likely supplant Jay Richardson at right defensive end.
And if the Raiders pass on McFadden, look for the Cowboys to try to make a move north, possibly by trading their two first-round picks (No. 22 and No. 28 overall) to the Jets at No. 6 or the Patriots at No. 7.

Erk.
Got too much wrapped up on the D side of the ball this off season.
While this guy could be outstanding, and while defense wins championships, the greatness of da Raider's might be best served by getting a play maker for Russel.

But this LB/DE guy Gholston from Ohio State is "not human".
It will be very interesting draft day.
Da......Raiders!

well, yeah, as a Pat's fan, I reckon you had better know that saying ;)
I'm just saying that I'd be nice to the offense score more. Particularlly more than the Ravens of thier Super Bowl year, what was their offense averaging, like 9 or 11 point a game? While defense does help, you simply cannot rely on them to score the majority of the points all the time, right?
P.S. I want to fight Tony Siagusa.

Memo to Al Davis; Draft to fill our needs, not your ego!
