Exactly. If he was Randy Moss from his peak in Minnesota, they are getting a #1 pick in 08, a few other picks, and maybe even another decent player in return.
Moss probably has peaked and I don't think he'll ever return to true form. He'll probably do better in NE than in OAK. Good for him.
And, I agree on the Mike Williams comment.
Back to the original topic -- Michael Bush could be the steal of the draft. If he can return to form and his pre-2006 projections (before he was hurt, he was expected to go Top 10 in the draft) he will be the steal.
If Bush works out and if Williams can post good numbers the Raiders will be great. Porter, Williams, and Curry as your main WR, plus Rhodes in the backfield (and eventually Bush getting in at some point), a stud QB -- the Raiders are in good shape. They've added a potentially decent TE.
I'm surprised they didn't try to snag some OL help (a huge weakness), but perhaps that is where the Raiders will put some of their saved cash from Moss.
