On Further Review: Oakland Raiders have a solid draft

There have been many times in the past several years that I've seen a move by the Raiders and thought, "Why would Al do that?" I'm not going to lie, last Saturday when the Raiders passed up what was called, "the prize of the 2008 draft," to draft a running back that would bring the roster number to 6, I was dumbfounded. It wasn't as if the Raiders were poor in running the ball last year (they were sixth), or they had lost their starting running back (re-signed for 3 years and $14 million), or that the Raiders line was going to be worse this year running the ball ( Kwame Harris is a great run-blocker and so is new center Wade), so what was it?
