MVN:
I caught a recent article by Mike Sando of ESPN.com on my cell phone regarding the lack of success of combine "freaks," and I was expecting to read a laundry list of Raider draft picks that are underachieving or have busted their way out of football. After all, Al Davis always goes for the cornerback with the fastest 40 time, right? Much to my surprise there were corners discussed in that article and none of them have ever donned a Silver and Black jersey. Fabian Washington and Stanford Routt's 4.29 at the combine notwithstanding, there must be more to an Al Davis pick than 40 time.

The position of wide receiver is the biggest need in the offense. I stand by my earlier assessment that having an "elite" wide receiver is overrated, but a team does need multiple quality receivers. Ronald Curry led the Raiders in receiving for the second straight year, and Jerry Porter had a few big plays, but showed he did not want to be in Oakland. Johnnie Lee Higgins...
Enough with the Lane Kiffin coaching drama
The talk of the NFL combine has been the status of Lane Kiffin's job as head coach of the Oakland Raiders. This saga has been a real drain on the entire Raider Nation. The problem is that this has become one of those stories where the story has taken on "legs" despite there being nothing substantial behind it. In fact, the story itself has become the story. Lane Kiffin...
