Whats Silver and Black and Bad all over?

The Raiders. A team with a history of bringing in the banished bad-asses of the NFL. Lately the Silver and Black have lived up to their big bad reputation over the last couple of years bringing in Warren Sapp, Randy Moss and entertaining thoughts of two flakie Backs Maurice Clarett and Ricky Williams, but when is enough enough. At what point do you decide that your team has enough big tuff bad boys. With a high-octane verticle offense and no Running Back in a system that requires a Power Running game. Though the Raiders will have no first round pick they still may be able to get a top-ten caliber back. In fact they may not even have to use their second, third, or maybe even fourth round pick on. The Raiders could add to the depth on the defensive side and still get a big time back. Clarett, who abandoned Ohio State after his freshman year, could be a good fit for the Bay-Side bad boys, who lack a big time back. The thing that hurts clarett is the 4.8+ in the 40, but the Raiders need a power back to fit the system. Even if his speed was not great he is way more talented than any guy who will be taken near him in the draft. Plus it would not be a risky pick, despite the bagage, he brings becuase he will likely go in the fifth, sixth, or seventh round and most 5,6,7 guys are out of the league in a few years. Imagine if they were able to add a good back to that offense and still be able to do what they want with the Second round pick. Even thogh Clarett is a troubled young man it mis still worth the risk. After all he would fit right in.
