Raider Pride said:It is very simple.
The Raiders have the number one pick and this gives them a big advantage. They want Arron Rodgers and they want Calvin Johnson.
If they traded Moss to the Packers right now they would give up their draft strategy and tell every team they will not be taking JaMarcus the freak QB.
Detroit has the second overall pick. They will not draft another W.R. and will pick Joe Thomas and build their team starting up front. Joe Thomas is a lock as an anchor to their future O-Line.
Cleveland has the third over all pick and Cleveland needs a QB and would sell tickets and build fan unity by bringing Brady Quin as a home town hero and future great QB.
Tampa Bay has the third overall pick, needs a QB and loves JaMarcus Russell.
Ok... Follow me... Raiders have the Number One Pick. The Packers want Moss, Brett wants Moss. Raiders want Calvin Johnson.
Here is how it goes.
Raiders are on the clock. They announce a trade with the Browns or Tampa bay.
Cleveland would take Quinn or Tampa would take JaMarcus.
The Raiders then get the player they really want W.R. Calvin Johnson. with the third or fourth pick.
The Raiders then announce the trade with the Packers, Moss and T.E. Anderson Courtney for Arron Rodgers and something else.
Brett is happy. Moss is in G.B. back in the NFC North and a terror against the Vikes and Bears. With the Packers D this year, Brett and Randy Moss the Packers are a threat in the NFC.
The Raiders have the player they wanted in the draft anyway Calvin Johnson, plus Aaron Rodgers and plus a player or pick from the trade down with The Browns or Bucs.
It is going to happen... On Day One Of The Draft.

Hey RP
Wake up, you're really on your computer.....Sleep posting again, eh? :razz:
Seems like alot of if's. I don't think this is likely however for several reasons. One is if the Raiders want Johnson they are gambling big-time that Det, Cleve, or TB is not going to take him. All 3 could use a WR. Secondly why would any of those teams trade up when if you want who they say they all may be there for them anyways. There's really no incentive for Cleveland to trade up if they are targeting Quinn as he will surely be there.
Tampa is salivating over Johnson. If the Raiders trade down with the Bucs, its au revoir Calvin Johnson.

There is such a thing as a trade down based on who a team will take with the trade up pick. I doubt the Raiders would trade down with out it in writing that the Bucks or Browns will not take Johnson.

Vike,
If I am sleeping and dreaming... Do Not Wake me. It is almost a wet dream.
Oh I am hoping it happens as much as you are hoping it Does Not happen.
Randy Moss in the "Championship Colors" of Green and Gold is my dream.
My dream is your nightmare.
Be well my friend. I love your posts, and you are a class act Vike Fan.

Ya, if Moss ended up in Green Bay, I would not be a happy camper.

I am hearing more and more talk about Oakland looking at veteran QB's lately. Obviously this bodes well for a move on Johnson vs. a QB on draft day which would most likely mean good bye Moss.Raider Pride said:Seems like alot of if's.

Seems like a lot of if's? Damn right! Show me the last draft that did not have a lot of if's and I will cut my left nut off with a butter knife, film it, and put it on youtube.com so you can watch it.
Read my post again... It is about probability and a gamble. If the Raiders make the trade with the Browns it is safer than with the Buc's.
The Lions will not draft a WR. I will bet on that.

First......theres NO way Sharper could keep up with Moss! (We saw that enough times already!) Second..........even IF Sharper intercepted, he couldn't outrun anyone! Driver would have him tackled within 10 yards of the INT!Raider Pride said:vikesrule said:Hey RP

Ya, if Moss ended up in Green Bay, I would not be a happy camper.
But since we are on the subject of dreaming, if it did happen, here is my dream scenario:
Vikings vs Packers at Lambeau
NFC North on the line.
Time is running down and the score is tied.
Packers have the ball on their own 20.
Favre drops back and passes deep to Moss!
Whoa! ...... Interception by Sharper and he's running, running alll the way down to the Packer 30.
Longwell comes in....puts it throught the uprights!!! Yea! ....Game Over.
:thumbsup:
I heard he is warming up to the idea of being a raider

all about da packers said:Ya, if Moss ended up in Green Bay, I would not be a happy camper.
If ever TT needed a reason to get Moss...
Come on Ted, you'd make vikey unhappy.... how can you resist? :wink:
I don't see us offering more than a 2nd Rounder or 3rd Rounder and KGB/Robert Ferguson for Moss.

Nobody wants Robert Ferguson, we dont even want him. He will not be part of the trade im sure
