unnamed team is reportedly attempting to trade up to the Raiders' No. 8

[Doc Holiday]

Look on the bright side, there hasn't been a trade that the Raiders have been apart of that they haven't fuged themselves in since the Panthers were born as a franchise.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

Has there been a draft the Raiders have even been a part of that they haven't been absolutely horrible since '95?

[DynastyRTR]

well who would the panthers choose if they did trade up?

i'd say they'd be looking at the following:

mccoy DT

suh DT

derrick morgan DE

dan williams NT

jason piere-paul DE

dez bryant WR

Sean Witherspoon LB

Suh and McCoy will be gone in the first 6 picks at least. it wouldnt be a very very very very very...very bad move if we did this, then traded down a few spots to a team like the Giants if they want to be sure that they can get Rolando McClain.

what else could we get out of that?(btw... I hate the idea of trading our 1st year after year.)

The recent cuts have been as much about cutting cost as they have about cutting aging players. Why would the front office want to sign on a top-ten rookie, considering the salary those players bring? Especially with a lockout on the horizon.

:iamwithstupid: Then again if there is no Football in 2011 there will still be a draft. Might make since to get a good player now then wait till he gets drafted and cant play.

DEZ!!! I have a strong feeling that we are the team. And I'm always right.

If it happens Headlines should read.

Raiders Trade out of First Round: - Fast Receivers who can't catch hardest hit.

I think it has a good shot at being us....I mean, when was the last year that the Panthers didnt trade at the beginning of the draft?

You only make a move like that for someone you think can be a franchise QB.

[jramsey4]

I would be fine with trading our 2nd and next years 1st for the number 8.

Think about this. Getting the 8 then trading back (someone is going to be real tempting for other teams there I bet) to mid 1st picking up a 2nd. Then we could either pick there or maybe trade for 2 2nds.

Either way if you can trade back and still have a 2nd then all you really did is trade a 1st straight up for a 1st. And we always finish at least in the middle of the pack so you know it wouldn't be any higher then 13-14.

This is what I'm thinking. I think the unnamed team is in dire need of a quarterback and has their sights set on one of the big names.

I'm thinking Jags..not the first time they've traded up to the #8.

[Mr. Scot]

All I know...it likely ain't us.

I was just thinking earlier, remember when Fox was hired here and asked questions about his time and quick departure from Oakland and he declined to comment on it? I assumed that the general feeling there is that there was some kind of problem and I feel like Fox still holds a grudge or has beef with the organization.

And we all know Davis is old as dirt, but the guy doesn't forget, and he seems very vindictive... I really don't think we have any chance of being this mystery team...

Besides, the Raiders will be drafting Armanti Edwards with #8.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

We've traded with the Raiders before under the Fox regime...

That said, I still don't think it is us...
