Marshawn in Silver and Black??
Recent quote from Marshawn Lynch in an online chat on espn.com --
"I bleed black and silver. I'm with them 100 percent."
Music to my ears. And maybe Al Davis' too.
As a Raider fan, I would love to see Marshawn in silver and black. He was born for it. The kid is all Oak-Town.
However, the team doesn't seem to be going in a great direction right now, and I don't know that boy wonder Kiffin is going to be much different...but as long as Marshawn performs well, being a Raider wouldn't hurt his career.
Rumor has it that the Raiders are looking to trade down. There may be a deal in the works to send Mike Vick and the Falcons first rounder (#10 I believe) to the Raiders in exchange for the #1 pick and Moss or Porter or both. If that goes down, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Raiders snatch up Lynch at #10. Maybe a tiny bit of a reach there, but I think he'd make them look smart for doing it.
Even if that doesn't happen, I have to think the Raiders will make something happen to get out of the first pick. The top guys are QB's and Davis doesn't like rookie QB's. They have to be looking either WR or RB in the first round, as they are likely losing many of their starters in the skill positions this offseason (LaMont Jordan is due a big check and is likely to be cut, Moss and Porter are both malcontents who the Raiders will be looking to ship off, and nobody else on the roster is really starter quality).
RB is a good position to get an immediate impact player on the offensive side of the ball in the draft. The Raiders have to find a way to land either AP or Lynch. I'd prefer Lynch, but I'm a little biased...
