NFL Draft 2006 – Round 1 #7 – Oakland Raiders – DB Michael Huff
 |
James Joyner | Saturday, April 29, 2006 |
The Raiders are on the clock. Leinart would, again, be a huge gift. He is consistently compared to Kenny Stabler, the Raiders’ 1970s great. The pre-draft buzz, though, is that they wanted Young and were not so keen on Leinart.
The mock drafts have them taking Texas safety/corner Michael Huff. My guess is that’s what they do. Were I in their spot, though, I’d be calling Leinart’s number. Not only is quarterback more important than safety, but Leinart is a better player. And, by the way, he played in Southern Cal.
The pick: Huff.
Goose is now 7 for 7.
