He'd Be a Good Oakland Raider!: NFC North

LBBrian Urlacher:  Of course.  Do I have to say anything about this pick?  Yeah, didn't think I did.

OCOlin Kreutz:  I like this guy.  He's mean and nasty, but he's also a great technique guy.  That's probably why he's bee in six pro bowls.  The reason everyone in Chicago is all over Grossman and Benson is because they don't have anyone on the line to blame.  I credit the center for that more than any other position.  Raider Nation knows how important a center can be to an offensive line.

DTTommie Harris:  The anchor of the Bears defensive line, when you think Monsters of the Midway, he runs with that crowd.  He wreaks havoc on opposing centers and constantly disturbs plays.  He's not going to have the gaudy stats that an end would have, but watch him.  You'll understand why he'd be not just a good Raider, but a great one.  He's got an attitude as seen by his press photo and that's always a good attribute to have if you play for the Silver and Black.

TEDesmond Clark:  He's a tough guy.  I'll admit that I've been a fan of his since he was a Bronco, but the guy continues to produce.  He's not the most popular tight end in the league, you'll probably find him on your fantasy free agent list after your league drafts, and if he's there think about picking him up.  He's good enough to hold off Greg Olsen who was supposed to be the next Shockey from the 'U'.  He blocks and catches, where many of today's tight ends don't do both, and he also catches in the clutch.  I don't know if I'd start him on the Raiders, but I wouldn't mind him being around to spell Miller now and then.

Tomorrow, I'll be looking at arguably the best division in all of football, the NFC EAST.  I can tell you right now, that I'm unsure of what T.O.'s status will be at this time.  So tune in tomorrow to see if I got it right.

If I didn't, post yours now.  Tell me who I should've selected so far or who I should select in the other divisions.

Remember the only criteria to make my list, is that the player has had to have made an impression on me so significant that I would say to myself, "He'd be a good Raider," or "I wish he was a Raider." 

Who's done that for you?
