Oakland Raiders: 2013 Draft Prediction

David Wilson – Apr 23, 2013

It is going to be a lot more difficult to predict what the Oakland Raiders will do this year than it was under Al Davis. But, this article is written by the ONLY writer to correctly predict Oakland’s first choice in last year’s draft (T/G - Tony Bergstrom).

Oakland Raiders: Does Terrelle Pryor suffer from "Next Girlfriend Syndrome"?

Jimmy Hal – Apr 12, 2013

The Oakland Raiders are in complete rebuilding mode. In the Al Davis era, the word "rebuilding" was like the worst curse word you could say around your grandmother. In the Reggie McKenzie era, it is no shame at all to curse like a sailor. Yes, the Raiders are facing multiple changes across the board. One of the major changes, is how the team will operate around the quarterback position.


Raiders Continue Solid Offseason with Solid Draft

Justin Smith – Apr 29, 2013

A major topic of discussion during the Raiders offseason has been how difficult the task of rebuilding is for new General Manager Reggie McKenzie. With over 40 million in dead money weighing down the salary cap and yet another year where they lacked a pick in the top rounds - this time the second as a result of the desperation trade for Carson Palmer two seasons ago, t the Raiders have managed to acquire potential starting cornerback and linebackers in free agency, and bolstered their talent pool and competition with a solid draft. 

Reggie McKenzie Building a Team with One Arm Tied Behind his Back

Justin Smith – Apr 10, 2013

After a disastrous and calamitous series of events that include the drafting of JaMarcus Russell and Darrius Heyward-Bey, and trades for Carson Palmer and Richard Seymour with no clear vision for the future, the Raiders were left with a ton of money owed to departed or deflating players and a dearth of draft choices in a very deep draft. That left GM Reggie McKenzie in a rough situation this off season, with few options. 


How does Matt Flynn's Arrival Affect Terrelle Pryor?

Justin Smith – Apr 5, 2013

Shortly before the beloved and iconic Al Davis passed away, he threw his hat in the ring one more time on a player with the size-speed-athleticism combination that was a staple of his original success. When Terrelle Pryor became available in the supplemental draft in 2011, Davis saw too much potential to pass up, and thus put a bid in for a 3rd round pick in the clandestine draft proceedings.

Terrelle Pryor and the Oakland Raiders 2013 Projected Offensive Starters

Elias Trejo – May 3, 2013

The NFL Draft is over and the Raiders have ten new players to add to the roster. Odds are all of the drafted players will make the roster and perhaps a few undrafted free agents will also make the roster as well. There are plenty of new faces in Oakland this season and that is stirring up a conversation about who may or may not start. Below I have listed the players that I think will start at each position. Of course you'll probably find that there will be a few surprises as the competition for the starting spots heat up in camp. So I myself will add a few surprises. Here we go.

Reports surfaced earlier today that Oakland was targeting Hayden in the first round and was willing to draft him as high as No. 3 if they didn't find a trade partner.
