Positives - Randy Moss and LaMont Jordan have upgraded an already potent Raider offense. Collins finished as the 15th rated QB while playing in only 14 games. Almost 3500 yards and 21 TDs last season could approach 4000 yards and 30 TDs this year with the improvements on offense and a full 16 games. The defense of the Raiders is atrocious and should lead to many shoot-outs.

Negatives - Kerry Collins has more career interceptions than touchdown passes. In 10 seasons, he has only once finished the season as a top 10 QB. He is not a mobile QB that can create much with his feet. Randy Moss brings a lot of baggage with him and may disrupt the team harmony in the locker room.

Draft Strategy - Vick was taken, Green and Collins wouldn’t make it back around. I think Kansas City will have the better of the two defenses, so I see Collins having more passing opportunities. I really wanted a QB from the AFC West, and dealt with the week 5 bye once again.
