I think you may see Greg Jennings signed and him trading down with SF for more picks. a first and two seconds and more picks next year.

I kind of have a feeling Welker just isn't happy in NE and the dropped passes didn't help the situation. I have a feeling had NE offered him the same money he would have still left.
So far I think RM has done a pretty good job so far with the Raiders. Al Davis had the team so messed up salary cap wise it might take a few more years to finally get things straight, but it looks like they are starting to put together a core group of players that they can build off of. It will also be interesting to see if Pryor really is the QB of the future or if they are going to have to have to go out and get someone else. I think Palmer is a good QB, but I think, at his age, he is more of a placeholder kind of guy.
To be honest I hope they don't sign Greg Jennings. He is very good, but he is going to be expensive and the team has a solid core of young WR's. I think they need defensive help in several spots and offensive line help more. The team is such a mess right now they need more help than they could ever get in one offseason, but maybe a trade for more picks would help them fill some of those holes.
