NFL DRAFT Round 2: Oakland Raiders Would You Mind Drafting...?

The Oakland Raiders get it right in round one. Tom Cable mentioned that he wanted a rookie that would instantly become an impact and he received just that by taking Rolando McClain.

Its not a secret that the Raiders have some glaring holes on the Offensive line, but with Russell Okung and Trent Williams off the board, McClain not only was the best player available at number eight, but fit a defensive need.

Many people will talk about how the Denver Broncos took Tim Tebow number 25 overall, but the two stories in the draft is Kansas City taking S Eric Berry, and Jacksonville reaching for Tyson Alualu.

In my opinion that left a lot of unexpected good talent on the board causing some teams to trade down, and others to keep reaching.

Now in Day two rounds two and three there are many players the Raiders could end up with that could help there teams instantly.

QB Jimmy Clausen

This is what I think may change the entire outlook of not just the draft, but also the future of the Oakland Raiders. It says that the days of Jamarcus Russell are over and we are investing in a franchise QB, paying him back-up money.

Mel Kiper Jr had the Raiders taking Clausen eight overall, but with him slipping to the second round makes him look a whole lot more attractive.

With Tim Tebow going to Denver being picked ahead of Clausen, that makes the Raiders vs Bronco games a little more of intense for the next generation. Besides, you would think Clausen would have a chip on his shoulder being the third maybe even fourth quarter back taken.

A chip on his shoulder being an attribute that Al Davis likes in his QB's...see Ken Stabler, Jim Plunkett, and Rich Gannon.

OT Bruce Campbell

Another player that the Raiders were rumored of taking eight overall is Bruce Campbell. This guy no doubt is an athletic freak, who looks like a Pro-Bowl left tackle right now.

Campbell's problem is lack of playing time. Due to a lack of playing time he has a lack of technique.

Durring the Combine, fans concern was that Al Davis would take Campbell in the top ten. But like Clausen, Campbell's potential looks a lot better with a second round investment as opposed to a first.

I still think this would be a reach in the second round, and we could still get him in the third, but im not sure that Al Davis feels the same way.

OT Charels Brown

If the Raiders do want to address the offensive line in round two, this is the guy to pick. I think everyone had him in the first round penciled in to Dallas until they traded up to get WR Dez Bryant.

Personally, im shocked he is still on the board. He's athletic enough to play in the ZBS, but powerfull enough to play in the power scheme. Brown is scheme diverse who has the college productivity to be a first rounder, let alone a second.

DT Terrance Coty

If you want to make your first round pick look like a genius, why not pick the DT he played with in college and won a National Championship with. That would be instant chemistry with two players that fit a need, that both have winning credentials.

I like Coty a lot, and I would support the pick 100%. My only concern is whether or not Coty can stay in shape. He showed me some good signs by loosing twenty pounds before the NFL Combine, and he may have lost even more for his Pro-Day.

That shows me that he at least has some level of respectable work ethic. I just hope he can stick to it for years to come.

I know some fans want to trade for Albert Haynesworth, but picking Coty helps the team gel overall from a team chemistry point of view.

There are many ways the Raiders could go in Round Two and Three. If there are any players you would like to see, please let me know.
