Re: the sticky icky icky
FWIW I think the Raiders should definitely take CJ. Russell is a much bigger gamble and could definitely end up hurting them if he doesn't work out.
As a Cards fan, they obviously should take Joe Thomas if hes there, but they don't need to be too disappointed if he isn't. I would LOVE to see them with LaRon Landry, for example, or any of the highly rated defensive linemen.
I also wouldn't mind them trying to move back a bunch and piling up picks. They have some great building blocks, but their talent pool (especially on defense) is VERY shallow. For them, drafting a DE, LB, CB, S in the first round would be good and a DT wouldn't be bad either.
