Raiderfans.net is the largest Raider board on the net.
I post on Footballsfuture.com though. It has a board for every team, and is very active.
know of any good raiders boards?

Nice Jay Cutler cartoon!
So you're a Raiders fan IronMexican.........that's cool. There may be hope for you yet!
What do you think of JaMarcus Russell? Will he ever get together or does that go down as another of Al Davis' big mistakes?
It all depends on who they put around him. Are Khalif Barnes and Mario Henderson his answers at the Tackle spot? So for now, no I don't think he's an Al Davis fodder.
Still, I'd love to go back to that draft, select Joe Thomas and Trent Edwards with the second round pick.
I think you should flood the NFL forum with Raiders threads and then cuss Kori out and then you can get your own Raiders subforum.
good idea
If Oakland were to do that draft over and still pass on Calvin Johnson, that would be a fail of epic proportions.
Are you joking? Calvin Johnson was the best WR prospect since Randy Moss, and what has he done for Detroit? 0-16. It all starts in the trenches. Why do you think the Browns went 10-6 back in 2007? They had the best pass blocking line in the NFL.
It's so obvious Super Bowl Teams are built in the OL, it's not even funny. Orlando Pace, Willie Roaf, Walter Jones, Jake Long, Joe Thomas, Ryan Clady.
On it!
Ever hear of a Private Message?
yes
threads are better
Why did you list a bunch of guys that haven't been to a Super Bowl? Only 2 of those guys have gone.
And good scouting means you don't have to waste high draft picks on an O-Lineman. You can find great lineman in the 2nd and 3rd round.
I'm sure you approved when the Raiders took Gallery
Dude I feel bad for the Raiders for that pick, they had no way of knowing he was juicing in college.I'm sure you approved when the Raiders took Gallery
But
dont remind me dammitBut
But
But you need to waste top 10 picks on offensive lineman!
Seriously tho, IronMexican is right that the OL and DL are the foundations of a team. But a top 10 pick is supposed to get you a gamechanger. Personally I'd never take an offensive lineman with a top 10 pick, and I'd only consider the most dominant defensive lineman (even then I'd still rather take any other postion besides OL/DL...except for tight end).
A team with good scouts can find excellent linemen in the 2nd round and beyond, so that you don't waste a skill position pick on a lineman. Because in the end, one dominant lineman doesn't mean if he's got 4 suckasses with him.
5 good linemen > 1 beast with 4 average linemen.

You have a way better chance on missing on a top 10 LT than you do a top 10 RB. And Gallery is now an All Pro LG. Obviously not what he was brought here to do, but I am happy.
lol raiders?????
you don't need a top 10 LT to have a great offensive line.
and ROFL @ you trying to justify picking Gallery over Fitzgerald. It is 100% pure idiocy to waste a top 10 draft pick on an offensive lineman.
2 solid linemen in rounds 2-4 > 1 great lineman with a top 10 pick
then again, how can you ever offer logic and sound thinking to a fan of a franchise that used a first round pick on a KICKER!!!!!!!!!!
Never said Gallery wasn't the wrong pick(Because it has been clearly proven that it was)But he is pretty damn good at LG. Of course, you don't waste top 10 picks on Guards, but he isn't as bad as people are making him out to be.
You don't waste them on Tackles either. You don't waste them on any position that can't get you a game changing playmaker or a franchise player. QB, RB, WR, LB, CB....and in rare occasions, a DE or S, but only if they're absolute athletic freaks. If you don't find any of those that are to your liking, trade down. It's idiotic to waste the value of a top 10 pick, plus the money required to sign those guys, on a lineman.
didn't the raiders get a kicker in the first round
lulz, that might be the worst 1st round draft pick in history. Janikowski's not a bad kicker.....but HE'S A ING KICKER!!!!
The Tony Mandarich pick is a better decision, the Ryan Leaf pick is a better decision. Doesn't matter how big a bust a team has ever drafted, they still never wasted a first round pick on a goddamn kicker.
Nah, brah. The Leaf pick was probably the worst pick ever. Having a hit and miss QB in the top 10 could set a franchise back for a while.
The Leaf pick was the biggest bust of a pick, but their decision making was far more sound and reasonable than the Raiders taking a ing kicker. The Janikowski pick is absolutely the worst 1st round pick decision by a franchise. The Chargers at least made the decision to go for a potential franchise player. Anybody can pick a bust from time to time. Only one franchise has ever trumped all other acts of inep ude by saying quite loudly "we have no clue what the we're doing" - the Raiders.
Nothing at all is worse than deciding to waste a first round pick on a kicker.
