Yes they go get Matt Flynn of the Hawks Nest in Seattle to be their starting Sunday Signal-Caller. The Wind just blew in former Raiders 1st Rounder and All-Time Favorite Son Charles Woodson. He still has something left in the tank and the young guys around the Silver & Black will learn from him instantaneously. The Raiders had need but some glaring ones at Corner, Wide Out, O-Line, and Backer. Did they address any of those needs in the 2013 Draft with Ten Picks. Can the Raiders start to turn the Corner with some of the best Sports Fans in the World and Top Flight Tailgating....The "Commitment to Excellence"...get right for Al.

2013 SILVER & BLACK Draft Picks 2013

Round Pick Position Player College


1 12 CB D.J. Hayden #UHCougars

2 10 OT Menelik Watson #Noles

3 4 OLB Sio Moore #UConn

4 15 QB Tyler Wilson #WooPigSooie

6 4 TE Nick Kasa #UCBuffs

6 13 RB Latavius Murray #UCF

6 16 TE Mychal Rivera #RockyTopUT

6 37 DT Stacy McGee #BoomerSooner

7 3 WR Brice Butler #SDSU

7 27 DE David Bass #MizzouWestern St

Hayden might have been a reach at #12 in Round 1 but he was moving up draft boards at light speed. If the Raiders were right this Draft by just having Hayden worthy of a 1st round pick would be deemed a good draft. Having Woodson back into the Fold is a huge plus for that Raiders Back End. Hayden is a ball-hawking bump and grind corner and maybe the best corner in the 2013 Draft.

Watson has a chance to start as right now he is penciled in behind 9-year Vet OT Khalif Barnes. Watson is really raw but has excellent feet (former Basketball player) and real fluid at the point of attack.

Moore will start from Day One and was that leader on that UConn Defense. Not highly-athletic but a football players that makes a lot of plays and tackles. I could see Moore eventually being a Captain on that D in year two. As we go to press 9-year NFL Vet Kevin Burnett is ahead of Moore.

Wilson might be a steal in the 4th round and don't just hand the starting job to Flynn yet as Wilson has a chance but can the Raiders afford to start a Rookie QB. Wilson Physically its all there and he most likely will be #2 in front of even Terrell Pryor.

Kasas is a converted DE to Tight End and is still very raw. But he is athletic and he should be the #2 TE on the Depth Chart behind Richard Gordon.

Murray will get some looks but he would be at least the #3 back on the Depth Chart behind Starter D-McFadden and Rashad Jennings a FA pick up from J-Ville.

Rivera adds to the TE Depth and possibly Special Teams...

McGee will get Snaps from Day One as the Raiders might be the weakest up front on the D-Line...

Butler will be at least 3rd on the Depth Chart as the Raiders also picked up Joshua Cribbs of the Dawg Pound...Raiders Starting WRs Duo of Moore and Jacoby Ford is Faster than Fast...
Denaruis

Bass another Body to try out on that D-line...Raiders will be actively looking for Help if current Depth Chart on the D-Line doesn't workout through camp...

Raiders added some pieces via Free Agency but the Overall Grade is a C as Hayden has Boom or Bust Potential but the Watson, Moore, and Wilson Picks make a ton of sense.
