Is mike bresial done in Oakland?

Bill Williamson (2:33 PM)

Well, he is a ZBS guy and the Raiders are going away from it, so I think his time in Oakland is short. But the problem is, the Raiders have a lot of needs, so Brisiel hmay have to stick around for the enxt year.

Mike (NJ)

I (like many Raider Fans) would love to see the Raiders stockpile picks. I know it's easier said than done;however, are there any teams you see that would be willing to trade up?

Bill Williamson (2:34 PM)

Because there aren't a lot of great QB options and because there are a lot of defensive players who are similiar at the top of the draft, I'm not sure there will be a lot of teams dying to trade up.

If star is sitting at 3 and your Oakland do you take him?

Bill Williamson (2:38 PM)

He'd be hard to pass up, don't you think?

Have u ever witnessed a fight in Oakland?

Bill Williamson (2:44 PM)

I've witnessed fights in many NFL stadiums I've been in.

Tarek (NYC)

I agree with you Bill, the Raiders shouldn't take Geno Smith with the 3rd pick. Maybe they can draft a QB in the later rounds but this team has way to many needs other than QB.

Bill Williamson (2:45 PM)

Or just wait another tear or two. Got to see more of Pryor.

Tarek (NYC)

What do you think Oakland can get for Tommy Kelly? He's a good player but they need picks and even a 4th or 5th rounder will help.

Bill Williamson (2:57 PM)

I'd think he'd probably be more of a candidate to be cut.

Ryan (Lake Tahoe)

With Tony Sparano being paired with DMAC, will we see any wildcat in Oakland this year?

Bill Williamson (3:01 PM)

The Wildcat is kind of yesterday's news. But Sparano has a history with it and McFadden used it in college, If it can help the Raiders, why not? I can see it being part of the package, at least. But I'd think it would be more of a complement to the game plan rather than being the primary run attack.

Brian (Mexico)

Hi Bill Do you think Raiders gonna cut Palmer? or they just going to fix his contract?

Bill Williamson (3:02 PM)

I'd lean toward restructuring it down.
