49ers apparently won the coin flip with the Raiders and will be picking #6 overall with the Raiders dropping back one spot. ESPN.com article
hmmm, that gives us an option of trading down this SF, if they wanna take hawk, because they may lose peterson. Then we could still pick cutler because we would be before oak.
Raiders aren't taking a Qb with that first pick. Might take one in middle rounds but not first. Here is an exerpt from 49ers college scout Even if the 49ers fall behind their cross-bay rivals, they have someone on staff who knows a thing or two about how Raiders owner Al Davis thinks. David McCloughan, the team's director of college scouting - and Scot's older brother - spent nine years as a scout in Oakland. David McCloughan said Thursday he thought the Raiders would be looking for a pass rusher or offensive lineman at No. 6, which means they might be targeting North Carolina State defensive end Mario Williams or Virginia offensive tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who would take over the left tackle spot from the aging Barry Sims. Another need is at linebacker, meaning Ohio State's A.J. Hawk could be a possibility. Would Davis bring in Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler, perhaps the hottest name at this year's combine? Probably not, David McCloughan said, considering how enamored they are of last year's rookie quarterback, Andrew Walter. Raiders aren't taking the lT as Raiders already told R gallery he will be starting LT and incumbent LT B Sims will be moving inside to LG J Grove will be at center and Langston Walker will be RT. Probably address rg in FA.(maybe mike Williams) Raiders most likely are looking for DE(would [prefer Mario Williams but hard to see him dropping that far. BTW for whats it worth 49ers seem to be in love with Lendale White.
