4/25: Lane Kiffin has been floating the possibility of trading the No. 4 overall pick, moving down in the draft, according to the Contra Costa Times (http://www.ibabuzz.com/raidersblog/2008/04/24/kiffin-talking-trade/). “With the upcoming draft, obviously with the fourth pick overall, a number of great players will be sitting there for us to take,” Kiffin said. “More than ever, not in Raider fashion, we may trade back. It hasn’t happened before but it is something we’re seriously looking at. And that stems from the lack of picks and not having a fifth, a third or a second, it’s something we’re really looking at and having conversations about because of the lack of picks.”
Our View: Kiffin said there have been “a number of calls, and a few serious conversations” about trading the pick. The trade partner would most likely be a team like the New York Jets that covets Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, a player who also happens to be listed on most mock drafts as the Raiders' primary target.
