Raider Draft Day Live - Day 2

• And finally, the Raiders take Jonthan Halland, WR, Louisiana Tech - Analysis from NFL.com: Has a well-defined frame that can carry at least another 10 pounds of bulk … Has good upper-body and leg-muscle definition … Has good field vision and moves to set up the defender, but doesn't play up to his timed speed … Efficient at locating soft areas on the field to settle under rather than being utilized as a deep threat

Orenthal O'Neal

• 11:20am - The Raiders select S Eric Frampton from the Washington State with
another 5th round pick (165th overall acquired from New England).

• 10:30am - Perusing some of the feedback on Lane Kiffin's first draft, I found these comments from John Clayton:

They had to take a quarterback. The franchise was set back by not taking Matt Leinart or Jay Cutler a year ago. The 31-year-old coach and the ageless Davis played catch-up Saturday. They had to take JaMarcus Russell instead of playing around with second- or third-round prospects. Getting TE Zach Miller in the second round was the right call, too. The Raiders topped the day off by acquiring quarterback Josh McCown and wide receiver Mike Williams from Detroit for a fourth-round choice. McCown, who comes to the team on a one-year contract, can carry the team into the season as the starter, buying Russell time to learn the offense and feel comfortable in the NFL. The Raiders' quarterback problems will be solved for the start of the 2007 season with McCown, and hopefully in the future with Russell.

Jay Richardson

• 10:00am - Oakland starts the 5th round by taking DE Jay Richardson from Ohio State. Richardson started all 13 games for the Buckeyes earning an All-Big Ten honorable mention.

• 9:40am - Randy Moss is no longer a Raider. The New England Patriots take the cancer off the Raiders hands for a 4th round draft pick.

• 8:30am - The Raiders select CB John Bowie from Cincinnati.

• 8:15am - Oakland may lands a steal in Louisville RB Michael Bush. Bush was considered a potential 1st round pick entering the 2006 NCAA season but injuries curtailed those projections.
