One thing Al Davis might be crazy enough to do, besides taking the "sexy pick", is choosing someone with some sort of Raiders connection. There has been a lot of talk about "them" (the Raiders, as in "him" Al Davis) taking Chris Long, former Raider Howie Long's son. I think that might be a better pick for the Raiders. It will be an interesting draft I think.



I don't get why people are saying Chris Long doesn't have much upside (heard that about Peyton Manning pre-draft too) but I think this is as safe of a pick as it gets.



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
