Oakland Raiders’ 2011 Mock Draft: Building a Bully in the AFC West

Published: January 24, 2011Posted in: Oakland RaidersTags:
In Hue Jackson's press conference, he mentioned that he wanted to build a bully on defense. He wants the power run game, which means the Oakland Raiders are going to have to re-shape their offensive line in order to execute Jackson's offense. 2011 has got to be a quality draft for the Oakland Raiders, that way they can continue to progress the way they did in 2010. It is safe to say that 2010 was the Raiders best overall draft in some time. One may argue, that 2011 has got to be better. To be honest with you Raider Nation, I do not see that happening.

Without a first round pick, the Raiders are missing out on a quality talent pool this year. I know some believe Al Davis will trade back into the first round this year, but I don't see the Raiders having the resources to do that. Though this years draft may not be as good as last years, that doesn't mean it can't be a quality one. Each draft pick has got to count, which means we can't take a chance on a speedy wide receiver(no offense Jacoby Ford, you showed up big time), even though we probably will. Some picks have to contribute right away, while others may need to sit awhile. However each pick must have the best intentions for the future of our franchise.

This is my 2011 Mock Draft. Please comment, I would love to talk about this years draft with all of the Raider Nation
