Pay the Raiders whatever draft picks they want for any of their players. Then decide what we dont need, and put those players back on the Market for higher or more draft picks. Economics 101.

Problem is if you are trying to buy low sell high with a madman who overvalues his people. I'd love to grab Run DMC or Alphabet or something, but it all depends on what is likely an exorbitant asking price.

If Davis thinks Richard Seymour with one year left of his contract is worth a 1st round pick, just imagine what a non-old non-contract year player is worth to him.

I would like to say that if their entire team is on the block, I'd give a 3rd rounder for them.

I wouldnt pay a 1st for Seymour. He's good but thats a rip-off.

McFadden is who I would grab right away.

Asomomma - I would cut in line for as well.

If Raiders pay a 1st rounder for a 30 year old DT, you could imagine what they want for Alphabet. Since they put up the entire team last year and no one traded, demand must be high.

If McFadden could stay healthy we could definitely use him.

Hell, I really wouldn't mind Michael Bush. Talk about a diamond in the rough and it's him. Before he injured his leg at Louisville, he was in heisman talks, I believe. Granted it was early in the season, point being is that we could legitimately could get him for something like a 3rd rounder or so and it would be worth its weight in gold. We wouldn't have to address RB for at least 3 more years in the draft and he would be such a great compliment to the Snelling/Turner mixture.

Bush was a 3rd rounder anyways.

He's been playing like shit this year. 3.3 YPC, loads of bobbled catches. And if we can't give Snell more than 3 carries (around 6 YPC?!?) where the hell does Bush fit in?

We need a speed back, and the only one on our roster (who never ran the ball) got hurt on ST's early today.

Well, I see what you're saying then. I haven't heard much from Bush, but it just always seemed like his ceiling was really high. Could we fix all the mistakes he makes? Probably not. I just figured he may be a decent addition. Knowing he's been so quiet makes a 3rd round pick seem like too much.

Sorry, it's been a long day. I really wanted us to pick up Bush in the 07 draft, and figured it was certain to happen considering his Petrino link. Instead we signed a FB and drafted a guard. 3rd is probably too high for him, especially since we don't have a spot for him. Much rather get McFadden so we have that speed option.
